*although ppl call me a noob frequently (and worse things like ****, **** and ******** <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> )
I am not one <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

I have watched an itty little bitty piece (gtg to bed now, work at 7 am <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'> )

Some hints/comments (plz take it as constructive criticism, because you made a lovely demo!

1. lovely <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
2. pitty the voice link quality is sometimes a bit poorish, and not top of the notch overall (mind you I watched the first 2 mins or so.
3. I think you should slow down the narrative <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
4. Maybe you should tell the newbies you enabled cheats and bigdig ("normally rines would have to build yadda yadda, give them orders yadda yadda")
5. I'm sure this has cost you a great amount of time to make, and it's lovely, but I might suggest making it with another person, someone who can build for you, who can weld you, who you can healspray and so on.
Still, I haven't watched the whole demo yet!

but I think the narrative should be slowed down a tad bit

All in all, great stuff !
And I'll watch it tomorrow and add/change comments

*I call for a sticky!

watched to demo and i liked it. But man.... you are bit hard to understand <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

as for advice on how to improve it.....

1. stand still when you are talking helps lowing the noice and may help in understanding you better
2. if you are able to turn off all the enviroment sounds (hive,turrets, chambers and so on) do it. why? same reason as before it clears the air of the noice and makes you easy to hear.
3. and as Thing saids mayby tell the poor newbies that "cheats" have been turned on and explain that marines have to build the stuff before it works.

all in all nice demo i like it and would suggest it to all new commanders

These guys beat me to all the stuff I was going to suggest. However, I want to say "thanks" for posting this. It's stuff like this that I wish I had seen when I started playing.

Dihard · June 2003

Just turn off your speakers when you're going to be recording or wear headphones to cut out the background noise.

Mjr_Beatings · June 2003

Cant say I've watched it, but seeing as I've played with you for over 18 months, I know how hard you accent can be to understand and I'm a Brit, I pity any foreigners trying to catch on! Get someone else to narrate for you <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> (not me mind, my accent is worse ;( )

ThinG · June 2003

For the regular foreigner the acent is a bit dodgy

not for me *evil laughter*

Sorry for bumping this up, but could you update the link? It doesnt seem to work anymore and ive lost the demo.
How are you doing with your second demo too?

Sarisel · August 2003

The demo is outdated now with 2.0 out. But since I haven't read this before, I have to say that this is an awsome idea. It is much easier to make a demo showing what is done rather than writing out essays on the subject. The compromise is that the demos are larger in size while text files are tiny.

If anybody can host for me, I can make a few demos like this one.

Otherwise I'm continuing to write guide files in text.

Rue · August 2003

The reson that the link doesnt work is because it was hosted with my BT account but iv swaped ISP . anyway im goign to be making a new demo chances are im going to make it mostly /all commander side because without a good comm games are normaly bad.

btw we have a server now:
213.230.201.131:27021 : =X= Clan Server [CD-OP]

More info soon
