Just have to find places to place the link to get eyes… Facebook, other game forums, Reddit YouTube comment sections…you get the idea. Find places with like minded folks. I think many people interested in this style of play don’t even know this game exists.

I’m not even going to critique the film. I just really appreciate the time and effort that Animl took to try and get a step forward. With the numbers dwindling anything is better than nothing. Big <S>

MEH!!, damn thing needs a tweak and re-uploaded. first 2 seconds of the opening shot pixelates. After that share it anywhere ya want.

1) To me it shows AH players are teams working together -  not just flying around everyman for himself. 

2) I always thought there should be a dedicated film group in Aces High - seems like they have always been mostly single-player efforts.

1) While this video was more of showing the graphics and different areas of the game. There should be a video emphasizing the difference in how the game/arena is played, compared to others. I think the difference is what makes AH more fun for me, despite graphic differences.

2) I've hinted around about this. If I achieved anything from this video, despite whatever players it COULD draw, it hopefully inspires exactly what you just stated, and the style. Longer videos are more popular these days.

I'm not sure this video thing will move the needle at all, time will tell. I'm of the NothingVenturedNothingGained tribe. But from some of the ads out there, they are not at competition level, or so old they just don't draw anymore.

Off subject: One of the bigger complaints I read about newer player who left, after graphics,.... what happens on ch 200 was a turn-off. And while competitive and even SOME taunting is ok,.. I have to say,... in my old days as AW staff and arena moderator,.. some of these people would get a vacation. That sex talk and politics has to go. It's disgusting, certainly and obviously a negative impact on the game a player base. It won't matter to draw in new players, if they get chased away with that nonsense. We get some that melt down for over an hour on 200. If some people get burnt butt because they can't act like that on 200 and leave, we are better off. For every one of those who leave, we may retain 5 more players.

The art of biz is not only how many new people are drawn in, but how many are retained. The return customer.

So there’s an updated video on my YT page. No real noticeable changes. Just front & backend tweaks. I’m not enchanted with making another thread , but here’s a lin to share anywhere. Nothing will change after this post.

New  and last update link to share anywhere

Thanks for the support and compliments. I’m working up a new project.  Next video will prolly be a scenario, or FSO. I may do an ACM/dogfight vid with whats on the editing floor, good stuff.

Other then that, catch is in the skies.

I just watched it and nice job BUT if you want to attract new members to the game you're going to have to cut it down substantially.  Most people have the attention span of hyperactive gnats on meth.  I'd say 2 to 3 minutes max is what you should shoot for.  More action of blowing stuff up and shooting planes down is what people want to see initially.  You want to pique their curiosity not show them the 'boring' parts of the game (and let's face it... once you've got the basics down climbing a BUFF out, getting it to alt, setting your autopilot, and heading for the target is BORING).  But that's just the OPINION of somebody who was a somewhat famous club DJ and used that 'fame' to land a job in promotional marketing at clubs for Marlboro so what do I know. 

BUT, more opinion, on your YT channel make a short and dirty vid that shows the above (action) then link the longer 10 min version if you really capture someones attention.  Again just an opinion no criticism here.

When I made videos it never bothered me that they weren't exactly what other people wanted to see. I made them to be what they are.

I’m not doing anymore changes to it.
I’d rather make new/different videos.

Those short vids of flash kills is a more then worn out concept. The longer vids tend to have the most views in current times.i have other plans for vids. I do my best to not do what hss already been done, concepts  become redundant IMO. Others can do those. <shrug>
