Title: a last HAIL MARY.. assemble tonight 18UTC+1
Post by: Nessaj on December 19, 2014, 11:54:14 am
I've spent more than 10 hours working on an last attempt for how to present Melee in a condensed form..

Just one last shove, a final push. A Hail Mary pass.

Let's see how well we can fare. I'll post/update in this thread prior to 18.

18UTC+1 is about ~6 hours from the time of this post.

6 PM GMT = 3 AM EST... probably doable. You might want to update the .exe asap though, I don't think I'm the only one with terrible net.

Edit: Changed my mind, need sleep. Good luck with it.

No, they're "gifv" mostly, when a gif is more than 10/20mb imgur compresses them.

I wish!



Someone shared/posted it on reddit (unless it's some automatic function) -- I added the URL (https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/2psyxe/what_is_melee_battlegrounds/) to the forum post.
It says "broken link" though? Any redditors know why.
Title: Re: a last HAIL MARY.. assemble tonight 18UTC+1
Post by: Grumbs on December 19, 2014, 07:04:40 pm
Maybe it was posted too soon, or someone could flag it if it doesn't work for them?

Think r/gaming is the wrong place anyway. /r/pcgaming and r/games is probably better unless you just post the gif of the glitched guy in r/gaming
Title: Re: a last HAIL MARY.. assemble tonight 18UTC+1

I don't think it's user posted though, seems automated some how.

Either way, everything leads to that now :(

Why does this have so many downvotes, is this normal on imgur?
Almost feels like there are people downvoting this in purpose to keep is small  :(

Post by: Nessaj on December 19, 2014, 08:14:40 pm
Seems reddit works now (not the automated link though). I talked to a mod from /Gaming/ he says they rarely if ever allow a posts such as this, and he recommended the other gaming sub reddits.

Either way self-promotion is a big no no, so it's all up to you redditors if you like what you see.

You know there's a "Load All Images" ? :D

When sharing an album it cuts a lot of it short, you have to load it manually.

On the wave of the popularity of the post and generally after kickstarter, you should try to launch a self funding campaign as soon as possible.
Best example would probably be the way Path Of Exile did that.

 Or as another way of going forward try to be a bit more laid back and come out later with a bit more finished stuff. Though I think now is the time.

A LOT of people will have missed the rest of the images. Would have been better to leave the funny-glitchy-run later and have a combat related gif up there with the building.

A LOT of people that watch that are people that know what imgur is and spend a lot of time there, like people spend time on Reddit or Facebook, and probably know how to press a button. The rest came from here and already know all about the project.

Even if they know how to press a button, they might not be interested enough to press it. And why miss out on even one person? I know of at least two people who missed it, by the way, and I didn't discuss it with that many people.

Ah, actually I did press the button and see the whole thing, but you're right, I was referring to that one, not the actual last one. I'm not a native on imgur, but the fact I couldn't see a link to anywhere made me think there must be more.

Am I really the only one who thinks a "round world" type map setting would rock for this kind of game?

on a "world map" thingy maybe .. but not as an actual map imo ... you have to remember that the earth is still pretty huge, eventhough its a small planet  :mrgreen: and making just a small ball, in order to have a "round world" would be .. well ... fantasy world ;)

I didn't mean for default or standard games!

Just for a "fun" mode. Maybe it won't be too hard to make a mod. Sounds like I'd be playing it by myself though. :lol:

Well I think its probably fair to the community that they make some kind of official announcement, it doesn't take 5 minutes to communicate what I'm sure they have already decided.  leaving people hanging at the end of an unsuccessful funding campaign, that had been a large part of the development funding plans, is a sure-fire way to loose any of the support or interest they generated through it. 

I appreciate its the holiday season but plenty of us work up until the 24th and I don't see why the hell they cant spare a minute to pass a comment to their backers on what their plans are from now on.  A lot of people have given money already and put considerable time into supporting this campaign, so it would be nice to hear from the devs now it's over.

Meh, a quick comment would be nice, but all they are going to say is "sad face, thx for the support, we will try to learn what we can from this and cu in new year". Let them enjoy holidays and come back with a fresh attitude and take their time rather than rush things

They left a comment on their kickstarter page. It's not a official announcement but its something.. :P

We'll see. Don't think that the timing is good right now, it is Christmas after all. Right now we really need to relax and digest everything we've learned from this experience, see what it means for the game and for the team. We will keep you updated, and also put out some more tidbits on our channels in the meantime.
Thanks again to all everyone who pledged, the last minute run was amazing! No one should feel sad, we're OK, and we'll be back.
Remember to follow us on our Twitter/Facebook for updates :-)"
