First, speak english, and please write your honest opinion ^^

It was my honest opinion it is actually really good and its even better that you’ve put loads of effort into it (as i would not actually be able to do a trailer)

okey , nice to hear ;D

The whole video should have been done in Cyrillic. Phooey to English, who even uses that now a days anyways?

First of all, great trailer. I like it a lot. But it could use improvements.

-Use a different font. Papyrus is not the best to use for a blocky game. [Blambot][1] has some great fonts, and many are free. They designed the original Stonehearth logo font.

  • Don’t use the term “different”. Use words like “unique”, or “many types of”, or something like that.

Other than that, I can’t think of anything I would change. I hope to see what you make next! :slight_smile:

I guessing papyrus was the font ? it didn’t look right to me, not stone hearthy enough for my taste. Loved the song choice however and the video its self was quite good.

Edit: I should read other ppls posts more thoroughly

Honest opinion, ideas, randomness:…

-I liked the use of the drawings with the videos in the corner
-You could have possibly used a couple of those rotating qubicle models–there’s a lot lying around for download i believe–and you could fade between them to like a final backdrop of them in action (one of those fight scenes, builders chopping down a tree etc). Might just give a bit of a cooler spin. pun intended.

-i thought you did an amazing job syncing up the music to the videos personally. It fit. I’ve seen some professional videos who just suck at it when they try to match music to film. so props to you

-I think that a music change would probably be in the favor of the video because it was a little too epic. I know that sounds weird but the thing is the games appearance is very lighthearted. Compare this to minecraft–and i do not mean in functionality or design–but in it’s appeal. In most, if not all, videos they use very lighthearted music. I don’t mean it has to be all daisies and such but it’s important to for the song to fit the theme. On the music note as well make sure you have the rights to the song because then you’re handwork can all be for naught.

-a couple other quick notes: don’t hide away big events like the boss fight in a small side image. maybe making it expand or something but people like big scary things, so make them big and scary
and this last one may just be a personal preference more than anything. But something I’ve found effective in trailers is either Starting big and finishing small, or starting small and finishing big. By that I mean you can jump right into the fighting but end on a personal note (such as like two of the qubicles holding hands which you could probably implement by putting a girl and a boy together in the graphics test and a good slanted camera angle but thats just one idea). starting small and ending big is just the reverse.

Okayyyy that was extremely long but it’s my constructive criticism and honest opinion to give haha
