Hello Designers,
I have created an intro video for a boargame I'm currently designing and could need some feedback on it. The video-link is here:
Note that this is the very first video I've ever made and that I tried some different techniques, so don't be too harsh please ;). Of special interest for me would be if the language/grammar is ok (as I did the talking in english which is not my mother tounge)and if you get a good impression of the game!
EDIT: I forgot to mention, that I used Tabletopia for a lot of the video's footage, and how awesome Tabletopia is for creating prototypes!
I'll have to add, that doing this vid was great fun and that I've learned a lot in the process, so I can recommend to everyone who is thinking of doing a promotional video to try it out,even if you are not familiar with those kind of things (I used the windows built in movie maker)!
Thanks for watching,
Chordcommander!
Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated.
To answer your question: (Unblocked) Attacks on different hitzones have different effects depending on the Actioncard the Attacker used. A bola attack for instance would deal 2 damage on the head, 1 damage and a slow on the torso and immobilize on the legs. The Attacker has 2 Attackcards, Defender 1 card most of the time.
Imagine the defender has only 3 Hitpoints left, and needs to move 2 spaces this round to secure an objective to win the game.
Attacker: I could attack head with 2 attackcards and kill him (4damage). But he will anticipate that and defend his head, and my attacks will do nothing. I could attack legs and torso, so he cannot reach the objective (he cannot block both attacks). But then I can only deal 1 damage maximum. Head and torso?
Defender: He isn't ballsy enough to go 2 times to the head, as he will expect me to block that. I'll block torso and will get away with te immobilize (who cares for objectives). But then, did you see the smirk in his face when he put down those action cards?
Choosing random constantly will put you at a disadvantage. There are situations, where you can choose randomly though.
I'll consider doing a shorter version of the video as you suggested, I know that 10 minutes are rather long.
I'm not very optimistic in regards of publishing(not sure if i want to/have the necesary time and ressources) as the theme/artstyle seems to put off a lot of people, it's kind of hard to get attention i feel.
Thanks again!
