The Tale of Archon Part 1 Released!

I dont have tft yet... thats because im not on the comp much anyway but i think i i might get it just to watch this cinematic lol :)

This isnt getting the massive amount of news coverage it deserves.. omfg I just watched it again.. talk about gosu..


Anyhow, I opened it up in the editor and took a lookse around. Phew.. some serious stuff in there eh =P

Man.. those custom skins really bring cinimatics to life.. i wish i could pull it off :mtk:

In my cin I have trouble with this:
First the camera face something.
then start a fade filter over let say 2 sec
wait 1 sec
apply camera over 0 sec.

I have a bad timing with the fade filter. The camera doesnt change at the good time.

How long does your filter running? Ho hell I will open the map and check what I do wrong.

One good thing, and one bad:
The good: i like it and i'm waiting for part 2! i hope you're creating it right now:D
The bad: it's frustrating like lord of the rings, you think NOW comes the best and CUT :nono:

Anyway i love it

The main difference between lotr and TToA is TToA last 10 min and lotr 180 min each.

Hehe well finished TTOA should last 120+ minutes 0_o

at the end when the captian is doin his elvis impression :ggani: there was an archer down in the town that I could see. i dunno if this was just somethin that happens once in a while or if it happed for everyone. I don't think you want it there since the town is destroyed...

Hmm... what part of the town?
I coulda sworn that I made a trig to remove all units at the end.

That was the best cinematic I've seen since I first started downloading cinematics. Truly beautiful to behold. I can't wait for Part 2.

20/10....heheh...:D

On topic:
Oh, when i fininsh watching the 5th time of TTOA, i notice that there is a new modle orc at the city at the "almost fininsh part" of TTOA where "blue" (forgoted his name...) play a spell animation. The orc is at the lower right screen of the city.

Nice cinematic! :D
Only the comments of the dark wizard were short ...

There were 2 things I didn't like.

1) Too much fade in and fade out, imo it gets annoying if you do it too much. If you reduced it a bit, especially in the early scenes it would be better.

2) The camera movement from on point to another is throughout the entire cinematic really fast. Should give a greater feel if you did it slower, but then again that would screw up timing of triggers, but just as a recommendation of your next work.

Else I was enjoying it, nice work ;)

The cameras will be fixed in the final version. I think they are crappy too.

For all of the people that haven't been able to download it yet, I've uploaded it for a little while on my ftp.
