As it is the tradition in LudumDare, here is the Timelapse of my game<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\n Video<\/strong>
\n \"\"
\n <\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve used my own script (for MacOSX) to capture the screen each 10 seconds, and then fed the images to ffmpeg to generate the video. If you are interested by the scripts:\u00a0https:\/\/gist.github.com\/gre\/11219793<\/a><\/p>\n

I also used Google Gangout in the whole session, as a way to put my webcam in the timelapse, but more importantly\u00a0to have other LudumDare friends coming in it\u00a0\":-)\" As you can see @mrspeaker<\/a>\u00a0appeared a few time in the timelapse showing me the advancement of his crazy Metal Meter game (well next time we may try to be on the hangout\u00a0longer). 2 LudumDares ago, we experimented working our entry the whole saturday in a Paris Starbuck<\/a>s, this was a bit crazy with all the tourists.<\/p>\n

I think this Hangout approach is a nice alternative to the classical Twitch stream. It is much more powerful actually because you could easily\u00a0stream a Hangout back to Youtube, and Google Hangout is so easy to use from a computer or a phone!<\/p>","time":"May 4th, 2014 2:57 am","title":"Timelapse of \u201cAnthill\u201d"}
