[video: OpenMW 0.10.0 Change Log]
OpenMW has been steadily reporting about latest progress on their blog and now also released some video change logs with audio commentary.
Freedroid is another project that has been reporting their progress regularly. You can follow them and many more projects on our game planet or dev planet.
To me, short video commentary reports of progress are a delight. While it might be ineffective to make a video for each release, if the changes are not so many and the effort is high, but from time to time having a video change log might be better at getting players interested or developers impressed enough to contribute than a simple CHANGES.txt.
An interesting middle ground is what M.A.R.S. did for their last few releases: screenshot changelogs.
GLC is one of the two nice ways I use to record game videos - here STK
When it comes to gameplay video recording on Linux, I spent some time on the subject and for me it all boiled down to two methods:
- GLC is ideal for games that use both OpenGL and ALSA
- FFMpeg is an all-rounder, that is a bit slower but works fine if the machine is powerful enough or the resolution low enough
I will gladly offer my experience in recording videos and editing them on Linux to help you make your own. Just post in the comments, start a thread on the forums or email me via qubodup@gmail.com.
