Hello everyone!

I was planning to make FOnline introduction video. The reason is that we need more people to this game to make this more interesting. I am asking you guys ideas and suggestion which i should present in that video. I was thinking something like 20minutes video, and it will have huge variety of content: pvp, farming, traps, event, citys, tc, failing, stealing, failing, shopping, leveling, gang issues, sneaking... etc.

So i need lots of ideas and might need some help to perform some of those content.

When I have made the first version of video I gonna need feedback and improvement suggestion.

[Mike Crosser]

Make sure you point out that it is hard and that some people don't really play fair.
It is a wasteland after all.

In the video there should be like a 2 min tutorial through the installation.

Music has to be from the 50s/60s,no metalica or whatever.(my suggestion is bob (or was it bing?)crosbys "way back home")

Needs to point out that other servers exist,and that this one is canon.

And needs to connect with the bethestards.
This is a bit obvious but make sure it is in English and that you use correct grammar(no "me think this game good yes very much" kind of stuff)

After this video is out this thread should be deleted.

EDIT:Also if you are gonna do a trailer then try to make it like the F2 one (a fallout(real world thing not the game)warning video mixed with bits of gameplay and some other images from the game)

may i ask, how many youtube viewers do you have? if none, there's no point in doing any ad videos because nobody will see them anyway. you'd have to contact to some lets player or other famous youtuber and ask if he could post your vid there, THEN from 100k views, maybe 1% would try (1k people) and maybe half of they would stay. thats what i think about it.

[Mike Crosser]

Hmmm maybe ask some modding community.
Because I doubt machinima would do it.

[racoon]

I doubt machinima would do it.

me too. but there's many other lets players and channels about games, anyway i bet they would ignore any attempt of contact (they got 1000's pm's daily). and as i said before if you dont have own base of viewers then what? 500 views in 1 year? and 95% of them wont even watch entire video?

You can always pay IGN to do a review on this game, and then pay them some more for them to give us nice stats and maybe some people will try this shit game.

While I do too believe that IGN is getting payed to do kiss ass reviews (see call of duty) I doubt that we would have enough money.

There must be some uprising youtube channel that we can exploit.

I would suggest doing chapters, instead of one long video.

Have different categories of things you'd like to cover.

EG)
Early money-making
Early crafting
Early levelling

Advanced farming
Advanced money-making
Factions

etc.

---------
I personally feel as though long videos will lose the attention of most audience members, as some people look to learn a quick tip, then continue their own exploration. I'd love to help if you need some actors or participants in the videos themselves.

Best of luck, hope it turns out well.

I suggest showing the game with it's default skin so new players aren't like "what the fuck game am I playing?"

[Mike Crosser]

It's bad.

1.It's boring
2.It shows off some bad parts
3.At the end you showed ramboing in Reno which I don't think many people who start would be interested in
4.Incorrect grammar
5.Usage of fonline terms that newbies probably won't understand (such as "farming",etc.)
6.It uses the custom interface which might turn some players off
There are some good aspects:
1.Music was good,except at the ending(wtf was that?)
2.I liked the part when he soloed a unity encounter,it really shows the progression of the player(from a noob fighting rats to a minigun wielding mad man who can defeat a large and well armed group alone)

It's a decent start.

I think the movie is maybe slightly too long for a presentation of a game without any commentary (except a few subtitles), but beside that it's very nice. You put lot's of work in it and I couldn't do better myself.

[Cyber Jesus]

It would be much better if a GM actually helped you.

[racoon]

+1

but its too much effort and anyway nobody new will come to game.

i think starting video should be like a movie trailer. it's 2 minutes long, shows some action cutscenes, and has good music, the one used in video is boring
