Here's the same image cropped and resized to 1280x720 with Irfanview: Also, here's a regular full screen image (which I need to leave uncropped) resized to the same size:  Do these look workable?

It works, but it's not ideal. Is there any way you can play the game at a lower resolution and screencap from that? Ideally the size you'll actually post the images at.

Speaking of tags - how do you get a different sub-forum's tag onto your thread, again? I would've liked the very topical  tag on my thread, but for some reason it's part of the anime forum???

Or have a mod on this subforum move it to another subforum, have a mod there change the tag and punt it back over here.

What's much more likely to happen is you ask a mod (literally any mod, but probably an LP mod) and we'll go and poke an admin to do it. This is such a well made forum.

The problem is all the idiots post in GBS, and you're modding a forum based on playing video games for people on the internet, so what else can you really do?

Quick question regarding Zarx264: basically, when I run a video through it to convert it to .mp4, I get this odd issue where any sort of still-frame in the video is instead a still frame of the next frame after the one that's supposed to be shown. Anybody who uses that know why that's going on?

This is my first LP ever, so any feedback would be appreciated. Right now post-length is what I'm most worried about, I'm finding it pretty hard to find the right balance of content vs overloading people's bandwith. 'Tis the season to be spooky, so let's play some Costume Quest. Costume Quest is a Double Fine game released in 2010, and like most Double Fine games, it's a charming, quirky little thing that mixes the mundane and fantastical. In this case, you're a child out trick or treating when monsters inivade to steal all your candy, oh no! Luckily you have the power of cardboard and magic on your side, and so the battle to save halloween begins. This will be a screenshot LP, there's no voiced dialogue, and a very limited soundtrack. The main focus is the writing, so that will also be the main focus of the LP, there are cute animations, and a very inventive art style, which I will do my best to show-off, but I'd also encourage buying the game. It's currently 69p/.99c on steam, and has an 360, ps3, and even an ios version. Update schedule will vary, I unfortunately have a busy job and work odd hours, but I will aim for at least one update per week, and for the Halloween period I'll try and make it a bit more often. No spoilers please, including gameplay spoilers. Part One Part Two Part Three

I think you could combine the first two updates and get something that's not too long. Otherwise it looks fine.

Looks great to me. You could probably fit some more screenshots in each update so you don't have to type too much out, but that's the only thing I noticed, and it's really a style decision. (Also you spelled "invade" wrong in the OP, but that's like a two second fix.) I'd go ahead and  , good luck.

I have no idea how to present an interactive fiction game so I'm shooting to make it as readable as possible, editing the game text and player input together in a way that reads smoothly. This isn't a full content post just an example of the style I'm going for. If anyone has suggestions for a better way I'm all ears. Anchorhead test post

This isn't a full content post just an example of the style I'm going for. If anyone has suggestions for a better way I'm all ears. It's pretty typical for this type of game to let the thread choose what to do, and essentially take the role of providing hints when the audience is collectively stuck and commentary when appropriate. It's a neat way to do things, because other people will generally find things you didn't know about, and if you know the game inside and out, you can keep backup saves when an irrevocable error is made, so you can steer things back to the right path when everyone's had a chance to see why they messed up. (I once had two parallel game saves going, one where I hadn't made the wrong choice, so I could just switch to that one when it became clear why the situation was hopeless at the end of the game.) The presentation works well and would still function in the interactive style.

The problem here is that unlike most IF this is a very narrative driven experience yet it's pretty non-linear which can kill the pacing of a horror game.

The Give Yourself Goosebumps thread is one that's live right now. It's literally a cyoa book though rather than IF, but the thread interaction seems like it would be similar.

I'm planning to LP the new remastered Hack GU collection, anyone else is already in the process of doing this? Anyone planning to do it? Also I don't know how it will work, but it'd be great to collab with someone who has pretty good knowledge/knows the lore and history or played most of the old games.
