A2XT Commercial #2

Post by Doctor Shemp »

I thought I'd split this off so it doesn't clutter up the RC thread and stop people from finding bugs & updates. I'm uploading the cut of the commercial now. It will be unlisted in case there's any errors in it. I've put the American release date as August 24th. Is that right? Time zone conversions across the dateline are not my strong suit.

EDIT: Here it is.

This looks pretty nice! Yeah, the gameplay footage flows pretty well together, and Rog has got quite the memorable voice. Good job, Shemp!

Quite nice indeed.

I do see two segments of footage I'd suggest replacing: the Just Rusty segment (so that the Lemmings stay a surprise) and the Abstract Assault segment (to keep all of World 9 as a surprise). Perhaps those could be swapped with some footage from Load Bearing Bricks, City Run, and/or Everyone Has A Starman Except You?

SAJewers specifically asked me to put Abstract Assault in there. As for the lemmings, I suppose I could replace that. What do the rest of you think?

Dunno. Here's the link if you want to mirror it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B01iZT ... sp=sharing
Although a link back to my channel would be appreciated if you do.

See if you can go through the whole mirroring process without seeing a single frame of it.

Seriously though, each cut bar two is only one and a half seconds long. It doesn't spoil anything for very long, so you don't really get context for anything that you see. Basically it's a Sega Genesis commercial.

Wow, this should be an actual ad on Youtube. How would one go about doing that anyway?

Personally, I think you should have Demo shell-hopping a lot faster than that just to make that bit of the video seem like less of a drag.

Despite the instructions I am still garbage at shell-hopping. It took quite a few takes to actually get a complete take of me riding a shell from one side to the other without falling off.

If you have lots of money you can go through YouTube's processes. Or you can make it your channel trailer, go into your YouTube channel settings, submit your channel trailer as a channel advertisement, and then YouTube may show it instead of a normal advertisement on an unpopular person's channel (like mine for example) where advertisers may not think it's worth the money to buy an ad. Seriously I've looked at my settings and some companies have paid like $200 to advertise just once on one of my LP videos. These are videos that get ~15 views. What the hell?

Anyway, I may end up doing that.

Would it work well as a normal ad? Just thinking about the engagement curve and the fact that people are mostly going to click close assuming it's a business after the five second timer without actually seeing any gameplay footage. You can it you want, but it doesn't look like it's set up right for that to me.

Though I suppose doing it with a channel trailer is free, so no reason not to do that at least.

I have posted it in all the related Facebook groups I'm in and it's been very well received there. (I know, horror - the game now has Facebook connections :O)
The first thing I would do with infinite power would be to make myself a cave where I could look at my shadow forever.

It's a lot of fun and has been incredibly popular at every indie game dev party I've brought it to.

I neglected to actually mention the talkhaus, so no, it really wouldn't work as an actual ad, since it still requires people to Google A2XT. I just tried that, and I know everyone's results are different, but the only relevant result on the first page for me was the ad itself. I'll stick download links in my copy's description once the game goes live though. Hopefully raocow will do the same.

I'd say that's because the forum is still called A2MBXT.
