Title: Some difficulty meters for a purpose that I hope you can guess by now
Post by: JWinslow23 on July 27, 2015, 06:51:12 AM
I'm working more and more on my little side project (hope you know what it is), and I figured "Hmm...how about be fancy and make a graphic for how difficult each one will be? (-_(//)); "

So here they are. All in a row, all of the graphics. (they will get out of sync, they're differently timed)

I made them myself. The space on the bottom is to add a description like "Easy As Cake" or "Do Not Attempt". What do you all think?

Awesome, I assume that it's for your Glitch Buster video series?

Yeah. I assume this is also how The Game Theorist got his start.

By the way I hope you post the videos in the gaming section once the series is underway :)

Oh god, sorry, that was totally unintended. :-[

Anyways, yes, I will post these videos to those forums. I'm wrapping up shooting within the next few days, so expect it before September :P

Good to hear. It would be easier to give feedback since I sometimes miss lots of IRC posts. :P Good luck, though!

Yeah it'd be a good idea to make a topic of it :3

By the way, in the videos the boxes should probably be twice smaller at least. Otherwise they take like half of the screen so it might be hard to see some gameplay stuff.

It'd be a tiny bit harder to see if it were smaller (not a lot, but I'd say a tiny bit). Besides, I'd make that gameplay stuff not important at all to the glitch (for example, running in 5-1 when the glitch is in 5-2 :P ). I will experiment with smaller boxes, however.

well it depends. On Youtube the videos are much larger now so they are always 720 pixels in height, which isn't that small on a 23 inch screen. You could maybe make your video HD but without necessarily shooting it in HD resolution. Just scale up the videos of yourself then add the extra graphics on them afterward instead of using 480p.

You could also make the boxes slightly translucent except the text and content

Done. The smaller boxes thing.

Indeed, although during video making, 90% of the time spent on it is waiting for Youtube to process it. <_<

True, youtube can be very annoying when uploading.

Yeah, I gave up uploading videos over 5 minutes for a reason :P

These were made for my own use, but I put them here so others can use them as well.
