Well like I said I'll be off for a month but when I get back I can install populous and fraps on my new pc and see if that gives a better result than these movies
Hi guys. I haven't checked in here in a while but I see there are still interest in finishing this. Well done. Regarding level 6, that might be the optimal route, but I would consider that particular recording TAS. I don't think abusing the pause function like that would be approved, and it isn't that fun to watch. And level 25, that was excellent! And except for the audio quality, I would say it is perfect. Maybe you can refine it more, I don't know, but it is good nonetheless.
I don't think I will be able to run much for the foreseeable future, but I will come back to this thread more often and check how things are going.
I thought the quality was good O.o the file was 2 GB, and compared to the other runs i have up its the best.
dont forget the game runs in 640x480 xD
It's hard to tell through a youtube video sometimes. It was more of a "prayer". Sorry if that was unclear. Also: I never played it on PC, just PlayStation.
I've been trying desperately to get all the old runners back together to do some brainstorming on the later levels so we can get some single-segment runs going.
Hi, I decided to get involved with this a little. I play a lot over at pop:re, the competitive online community for this game at popre.net I just stream my attempts over at my twitch: twitch.tv/barkziee So far I have: level 1: 0.53 level 2: 2.26
Hey! A few months ago I decided to install the game because I used to play it a lot as a kid. When I found out people were speedrunning it, I immediately started doing it myself. I've now speedrun (speedran?) all levels, even the longer ones where you have to build a base!
The first levels have no audio and black bars at the sides because of glitches with camtasia. However, I managed to fix these around level 15
I didn't alter the in-game speed nor did i use the dismantle glitch, couldn't be bothered to learn how to do that
Nice runs Grubby Hour!!! I haven't watched all of them, but I will! Now we finally have runs for all levels, nice work!
Your recordings are a little glitchy unfortunately. When I ran level 22, I did it in software mode just like you, that's why it looks slightly different from the other videos I've uploaded. I couldn't get Direct3D mode to work in Windows 8.1 (if anyone know how, let us know). I used HyperCam 2 which works really well and it doesn't lag while I record (unlike Fraps did when I did my other videos, that lagged a lot for me and made it very difficult to properly run).
So if anyone records new videos, it would be great if everyone can spend some time getting the video as smooth as possible.
As for the video quality, I´m really not an expert on this. I just use Camtasia and have no knowledge whatsoever on how to fix issues (it was a miracle that i managed to fix the audio xD). I might be able to use other recorders such as HyperCam 2 for potential future runs to see if that works though ^.^
Just tested a bunch of different recorders (Bandicam, HyperCam 2 etc.) but they all seemed to have the same issue with the flickering of the screen Fortunately, I managed to get a somewhat smoother video! I'm now going to re-record the levels on which my videos have no sound.
I started today and got the amazing time of 0.44 on level 1! Tell me what you guys think about the quality!
nice job on completing a full list grubby. i started doing a ILs list some while ago but never finished but i think the quality of my recordings is really good http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuRdwmjrJ4BxqW3awMPOnTd6K79Z546p0 i used dxtory to record. you might want to check that out
Glad i could help. I am not doing much populous atm but i might start doing some ILs again soon. Glad too see you put in quite some work this game deserves the love.
