Nexuiz In-Depth video podcast

[od@r]

Hi green .... great work,nice one!

[GreEn`mArine]

A long time nothing happened. But as I am having some free time (holidays!) I decided to create a few more episodes.

Check out the newest episode no 10 on YouTube!

It is a basic movement tutorial that covers circle jumping only. The other aspect of Nexuiz movement (apart from bunnyhopping which was also explained), ramp jumps, will be covered in the episode after that. These are the movies you should show to your friends that are new to the game!

Enjoy, put comments on the channel

And btw, this time I didn't write up a script and all that as I was too lazy. I was just doing it out of the blue.

Can't express the awesomeness!
Good job again!

Sehr gut gemacht, ich habe nie gewusst die genaue unterschied zwischen circle jump und strafe jump!

Very well done, never knew the exact difference between circle and strafe jump!

And yeah, your English is good. If only my Chinese could be as good as your English!

Great way to make a comeback GreEn`mArine =) grats on a tutorial well done.

It's interesting, this final movement episode is where the "real content" began, because I think for most newbies they know the basics of First Person Shooters. But in the movement tutorial you really broke down exactly how to do the jumps, something I've never seen before. Up until then it was a lot of technical prep stuff, and nothing about the actual gameplay/tactics/skills!

So, I encourage you to make more gameplay videos, I think that'll draw a lot more attention.

But overall, very impressive! Just got to say that again.

I have to add many thanks from my side too, I never quite got the hang of moving effectively. This tutorial was really helpful for me. And I am playing Nexuiz for I think two years or so already, so I wouldn't consider myself being a noob (how other players see me may be a different story again, though).

[GreEn`mArine]

Thanks for the kudos

New episode no. 11, dealing with ramp jumps and teleporter tricks is now up. Enjoy

[Dahveed]

Great stuff!! I will pay more attention to ramps now. I've used them occasionally but I really overlooked a lot of nice jumps, especially several of the ones you pointed out.

I'm wondering...is there a trick to jumping up stairs?

Oh, and green marine, I know you'd love for someone else to do some episodes, but I think you do such a good job it would be hard to replicate! Your explainations, breakdown are very accessible and paced well. Not to mention you have done an outstanding job with your production values (intro/editing/sound quality/video quality). It's probably better to keep it consistently high class and well done then to bring someone else on.

I think I saw a comment saying 10 minutes was too long...but I don't think so. Better done well in more time than rushed.

So...I think you should just put up new episodes at your leisure. No need to keep to a timetable IMHO. When you're finally done (months, even years ), the community will have the best video primer on a first person shooter BAR NONE.

Oh, and don't worry about the relatively low view count (although I noticed some of the older videos have a good couple thousand views now), over time I am quite sure they will become viral among any and all nexuiz players. Not to mention repeat views!

Keep it up! You rock!

I'm wondering...is there a trick to jumping up stairs?

Thanks for the kudos again. There is not really a trick to it. I would recommend that instead of repeatedly pressing the jump key to just hold the jump key pressed while going up the stairs. There are stairs where you usually never run into problems (as in: getting stuck), such as the one on soylent, and others where you often run into problems, such as the ones on stormkeep2.
