Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy today's video!
It shows off graphics I made for OpenTower
an open source project aiming at making a free tower simulator with similar
but better gameplay than SimTower
Sadly, the most promising project only had 3 alpha versions
and the last code update of it was a year or two ago
I credited the developers of that project on the first slide
AlabamaCajun almost single-handedly made Highrise Developer
While Crazy2Be helped with that project and worked on a couple of other OpenTower projects
dunbrine47 was the first person to think up making a SimTower/Yoot Tower clone
That is still around. I joined the project in 2008 after the first
OpenTower project had already halted. The first OpenTowewer project was made using
SFML and was developed solely by a person called phiren
It used an early version of SFML
and SFML had changed drastically in the year between last release of the first
project and the time I had joined
all of the graphics were made either by me or altered by me from low resolution
graphics made by other people of the OpenTower/Highrise Developer teams
and a couple from the zTower and other such projects. It took me a couple of days to
make the right sunset and sunrise gradients
though the room graphics and people Sprites (which I call Oaties
because the game is OT OpenTower) had already been made over the past five years
the most tedious part (of course) was making the
elevator animations in GIMP I had to spend a whole lot of time
copying and pasting use layers, converting
every frame to PNG as a matter fact
this video has exactly 580 stills
and one video made using the pan feature of KDEnlive
That last video, KDEnlive-made
video was rendered at 50 frames per second
and I would have never been able to do that without KDEnlive
or some more powerful paid program but KDEnlive is made for
LINUX and that means it's free though difficult to use
If I recorded my voice properly and have the audio correctly synced with this video
then you should be watching the easier part of the video I made which was a
video clip I made using
KDEnlive's pan feature. I had already made the large image and all I had to do
is when it as a PNG then
have KDenlive pass/pan through it. Sure it took over for two hours for it to render
but that doesn't matter because I was doing other stuff at the time
In case you are wondering
the background music in this video is composed snippets from parts of
SIMtastic, Play It Sim, Dizzy Sim, Going Out,
Street Sweeper, Chain Reaction and Rush Hour These songs are from The Sims: Hot Date
and SimCity 4 (vanilla and Rush Hour)
I do not own the rights to this music and will reupload this video without music
if need be
in order to avoid it from being blocked or given obtrusive advertisements
so
August 20th was my birthday but by that time you watch this video
I probably would have already celebrated my birthday even though my
birthday celebration is this weekend and
this video should be uploaded on Thursday
or that Friday the
22nd or 23rd
this is one of the reasons why I made this video and am releasing
right now to celebrate how much progress I have
done in this project and now that I'm 22
maybe moving on to another project or maybe actually doing coding
because I have a C++ textbook and
I took a C++ class but failed, well had to withdraw before I fail because
I did not want it to
hurt my GPA in college ... yeah
If you like this video go ahead and check out my other videos
I do some Let's Plays and I make some other
projects and stuff using screenshots and pictures that I've made
including this, which is pictures that I've made, no screenshots
I wish this was a screenshot or a
Let's Play, that would be awesome! Wouldn't that be Awesome!
Just being able to play in HD
Tower Game even though this is a 2D and
ISOTower is out and It's [isometric] 3D and will probabl go much farther than anything
I make but if you want to see me do Let's Play's you can just
let me know in the comments section below or
write on my whatever, send me a PM, write on my message wall. I don't know what it's
called for YouTube because
YouTube keeps changing it ha ha! Also,
I have Civilization 5: Gods and Kings I have
Age of Empires II: HD, Tropico 4,
Tropical 3; both with all their expansions
and stuff, Anno 2070: Deep Ocean with
its DLC and I might get
the new SimCity (2013) IF people want me to play it, I have
The Sims 2, The Sims (Original)
Civilization 4 but I don't play that anymore
and I don't play the Sims (original) either
and I have tons of games
and I can get more games if people would like to watch
me do Let's Playa although to buy new games
to do these Let's Plays, I would probably have to monetize my videos and you
would probably have to see an advertisement and I don't really want to
give my loyal subscribers advertisements
but if it's just the games I already have or games I really want to play that
going to record while I play it
maybe that's a win-win scenario
also like my video, leave comments
subscribe if you think that you like that
I just let me know what you think about my video you can if you think its trash and
give it a thumbs down if you think it's trash give me some comments
to see how I can improve. I hope you don't think it's trash. I worked really *** it
but let me know how I can improve on all my videos
Thank you for watching, have a nice day!
