Loved the video

[rus|Mike]

I... ummm... didn't quite... like the voice in the video.

[desktopsimmer]

Mad Multiwinia Mondays! The voice is kinda 'Red Queen' chilling scary, "You're all going to die down here."

I can foresee Domination battles lasting for days

[Mas Tnega]

If they did last for days, I'd be a more rabid advocate of the "Call for ceasefire and put the dead in boxkites" option.

[NukeLord]

Yeah, that voice is...creepy.

[Ace Rimmer]

I loved it as well. Very well put together.

/me adds something else to Monday expectations (mainly consisting of "whee! new LFG")

If I might make one small comment, vis a vis the two pages of the manual: in all of the descriptions, the DGs are called "multiwinians," yet in the description of trunkports, it refers to the "Darwinian world." Should that be "Multiwinian world"?

Well, the "About Multiwinia" section still calls the world Darwinia and mentions that Multiwinians are basically tribal Darwinians. So it is not technically wrong.

Also, I'd say there's a pretty decent chance that the manuals have already been printed, so pedantry isn't going to help anyway.

Cruel IV, now I just want it more.

Also, I thought the voice was weird at the start, but when you think about it, no other type of voice would have worked. *Warning, Philosophical content* It projects innocence where there is none.

[RabidZombie]

MikeTheWookiee is probably correct. Well, at least some manuals are printed, as I have one. Don't worry yourselves though. It consistently calls the fellows 'Multiwinians'.

As for the Multiwinia Monday. Can I suggest using a video container other than QuickTime's? The problem is finding a viable alternative. How about .flv? Unfortunately that requires Flash, but that's probably a bit less irritating than having to have QuickTime installed.

[elexis]

maybe give us a choice between the two?

I'm wondering if I missed something here, manual-wise that is.

As for the video - I love the portal-trailerish style in the beginning. Have to say I second the anti-aliasing, but if that's not going to be a feature in the final game (why not?), it might count as false marketing, so ...

Also - the url http://www.multiwinia.com/domination just redirects to the main Multiwinia page.

[Pox]

I'd be surprised if antialiasing didn't get thrown in on the final compile, considering it works fine when you force it, and as far as I know it's just a flag you have to set... and even if it's not, that's about as small as false advertising gets. (Crysis on high on my video card, yeah right. )

Anyway, looks great... Must say I'd rather flv, as whatever plugin the quicktime is played back in here (I think it's totem) does a very poor job of seeking.
