Title: Blue Planet, War in Heaven Developer Commentary/VideoPlaythrough (Act I)
Post by: QuantumDelta on August 31, 2010, 01:43:12 pm
Take a glimpse at the inner workings of the Blue Planet War in Heaven Development team!

Gameplay by QuantumDelta, with commentary by General_Battuta, Darius, The_E, HerraTohtori and a special guest appearance by QuantumDelta too.

This is act one, so far, but we are working on more, and this is the reason why WiH never had a gameplay video made for it ;)
These videos are not based on the war in heaven that was released to the public, some scenes are completely unique to the commentary.

Enjoy!
Feel free to give us plenty of feedback ;O I need to crack the whip more so Battuta and The_E finish Act II :P

Going through this atm; The 'style' is sort of a cross between the Valve HL commentaries and the MindCandy demoscene DVD commentary.

It helps that you all have nicely distinct voices too ;)

Enjoying it so far, can't wait to see the rest! :D  :yes:

Could this be stickied? People need to see this, IMHO. Oh and spoilered. And QD, crack that whip! :P

^I agree.

This is actually epic. Actually, one of the more interesting bits is just seeing what everyone actually sounds like.

Hey, I'm sorry, I'm not a native speaker, and this was the first time doing this. I'm not that good at improvising my talky bits :P

That might be part of the problem. There's the short punctuated "um" from you, and the longer "uuuum"s from other people as well. Personally, I didn't mind it at all. I was however, extremely on edge from your terribad mic problems ;) Bzzzz BZZ BZzzz

Those mic problems on the middle ones were atrocious. I seriously considered just redubbing all my own words back in over the commentary track, but I was too lazy.

Really really terrible.

I really enjoyed these, actually, even with the mike problems.

Will watching the commentary for a mission after I play it spoil the rest of the campaign for me?

Its ok.

The commentary itself was kind of cool, though I'm sad that the rapid fire warheads bug (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=70050.0) wasn't addressed. Which mission was that one in?

Delenda Est was where it was picked up, though it impacted all missions.

I would wait until you finish.

Bump to request Act II commentary be finished soon?  I still haven't gotten to see Delenda Est above about 8 fps. :P

So, are we ever going to see the second two thirds of this? :) This is quite interesting.

I think the devs are too busy for that...

Aah I got so excited when I saw that this was bumped. Damn your false alarms!

This is why necrothreading tends to be frowned upon.

Personally, I'd love to do more of these, but without his Battutaness or the supreme leader, it'd be a rather pointless exercise.
Title: Re: Blue Planet, War in Heaven Developer Commentary/VideoPlaythrough (Act I)
Post by: QuantumDelta on July 03, 2012, 12:43:04 pm
I'd also like to see more of these done, but as has been mentioned it's not really likely any time soon unfortunately, if at all...

For Scotty;
Although this is just a playthrough and lacks commentary, I put this together for ya;
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC757F21A28582E70

It's been waiting for a while for Darius to see if we can sort out some sound problems (some videos aren't available in some countries (mostly germany.. :P)), but most the most part I think they're watchable now?
The first actual mission is currently still uploading, it'll be done in ~an hour, but the rest are there.

I'd really like to hear the commentary for the mission with the Zod logistics ship. That was my favorite one, seeing how it maybe could end well, only to see the utopia shattered to pieces :P That was some writing.
