My main issue with the thumbnail is that it's a bit boring, at the moment. And, as Babar says, it feels more like some objects from the game pasted on an image, rather than something created specifically for the thumbnail.

If the theme of the game is the trip, the thumbnail should communicate it at first look, showing the fun of the travel, the places the character visits, etc. -- I haven't played the game, so my comments regarding its plot may be a bit generic or plain wrong .

I also wouldn't have guessed that the game is about Easter if it weren't for the sign at the bottom (I mistook the eggs for a flower at first). Personally, I would just remove the "Easter point & click" writing at the bottom, as I'm sure most people won't even read it. I think most people just give a few seconds to look at a thumbnail, so it must be eye-catching. Instead of the text, I would put something Easter-themed in the image itself.

To better show what I mean, I made this quick sketch:



I've tried to give the idea of a fun trip, added plenty of Easter eggs (that for some obscure reason they carry in a wheelbarrow attached to the caravan ) to make the theme stronger.

Amazing quick sketch work dude.
I'm impressed.

These are very sexy.


Really great work.

Reminds me of an Ultima game.

I like the nice lil' perch log tho.
Your character could sit down and smoke a doobie there.

Been away for awhile but coming back to AGS and wanna start a new game, just a quick question, is there a way to port your AGS game to Android or Iphones or anything other than just PC based?

Thank you for your time

I have a decent mic and can do voice fx (Harvester or Draco).

YES! Working much better  (still a bit laggy but not nowhere near as much) I'll play with the settings in the converter.

You guys are awesome tho. thanks so much.

Try using ffmpeg_theora: http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/

(Like I've already mentioned whenever I'm suggesting the above program, I converted a ~1 GB 1920x1080 gameplay movie to a 60MB ogv while basically keeping the quality)

Used the one you posted Khris. Cannot find where you can render .ogv with it? It's only giving me an option to render in .ogm or .ogg?


So,I tried rendering it .ogg and dropping it into the compiled folder and got this error.

How does it play in your external video player (VLC, windows Media Player...) ? Is it also a mess there? If yes, then it's not an AGS issue, it's only a video conversion issue. In that case This thread should not be here, but, don't lose hope! You can either post your question in "ask something. We can help" or in some dedicated video forum, where people will have more knowledge of those questions.

I got the color and video to convert better with Prism from NCH Software.

Converted .ogv file plays fine in video player but lags and stutters in AGS

Ran into a problem playing videos for my game (1920x1080) resolution .avi (kept getting a video play error) and learned browsing the forums that converting to .ogv and running them from game folder would fix it - which worked!

Now problem is the conversion DESTROYS the quality of video (colors are a mess and picture quality became a pixelated nightmare!)- I'm using Pazera ogv converter with a Theora video codec, tried rendering it different ways. Nothing is working.


Suggestions?

Aye Slasher. I can help with music.

Just looking at the pics you posted,I did up a little sample for ya.(I tried to visualize a sci fi futuristic puzzle-esque theme.)

Here it is... Lightyears
or something a little more like the movie "Alien" (or plain creepy)----> Within Darker Spheres

There's some other sample stuff I just started uploading to soundcloud.I got heaps more coming.

Check out other stuff here.Crawlspace from Reality

Hi Lasca,I know this thread is old,I seldom browse the forums.but if you still need help with this  I will give it a try.
