330 Days to go
These days I’m working on promoting the game. I’ll be asking people in forums to check out the website and trailer. Hopefully the response will be positive. Frankly, I have no idea what’ll happen.
I’m also working on changing some stuff that I don’t like in the trailer. Unfortunately, that’ll probably have to be in the final version because I can’t find any time to make the changes right now. One of the reasons I’m not using Youtube to host the trailer is that I’ll be able to keep on tinkering with it, even months after the release. Plus I can create much better encodes – bit rate wise – compared to Youtube. Considering there probably won’t be that many people watching this teaser/trailer, I reckon I’m better off hosting it myself.
One thing that I find extremely annoying when signing up for forums is Capthcas. I just hate them. Some of them take me 5 or 6 tries before I get them right. One thing that becomes very clear as I sign up for more and more forums is the amount of spam protection there is on registration pages. This leads me to think that there are some very sophisticated bots out there for posting spam messages, because most of the time I can’t get the registration right on the first try.
