Ahh, okay.

One thing I noticed is that during the fight scene in episode 3 you guys really added another level of realism to it with the extra sound effects. Makes you wonder why they don't have those in-game...

Wow, this stuff is GREAT!

First time I ventured into the screenshot and Fan Art forum and this is what I find...gold Recruit some more members, I'd love to see some more of this!! What sort of help do you guys need? (and what characters/servers do you guys play on so I can meetcha all in person maybe?)

EDIT: Oh and you guys used a few emotes I've never seen used before...one of which was a sort of talking when you just bob your head and move your hand (at your side) and the other was another kind of talking animation I think. Might you have any idea what these could have been? (that are *not* in the standard 'apostrophe' menu?)

wow.. those were great! (this is the first i've seen of them, but watched 1 - 3 back-to-back) i think the others are right.. a laugh track may make some of those pauses seem more natural.

also, are you guys on the test server or something? i mean.. how did Ms. Quito get those wings?!?

i can't wait to see the 4th one.. awesome work! this thread is now being added to my faves.

This thread already is on my fav's list to lol

I'm just hoping someone comes on to say what emotes were used in that! (the less 'common' ones anyway).

Did I mention the actors in this movie did some DAMN fine walking??

Thanks guys...glad you're enjoying it!

The wings were a lucky guess while demoediting. I'm hoping against hope that the Powers That Be don't smack me very hard with a hammer for using them.

I've decided against the laugh track because all the ones I've found are hideously unnatural and thus lame. Hopefully, people will laugh at the shows themselves.

As for emotes used, the best emote catalogue around can be found here: http://home.twcny.rr.com/scuzzbopper/coh/movs.html Thank you, Scuzzbopper, for bein' The Man! The emotes I use are a mix of the ones that you can perform in-game, and some of the ones used by NPCs. There's a lot of trial-and-error, and a fair amount of trying to demorecord stuff in-game and then breaking down the demofile in Notepad for hours at a time.

And thanks for the walking compliment...it's been one of the trickiest parts of making the show, and I'm just now starting to feel competent with it.

As for potential cameos, I'm always open to the thought. I'll try and set up a good email for people to send stuff to.

Thanks again!

Wow o_o yea that page shows a feww more emotes than u can perform in game...lol, that's crazy!!

And np for the walking compliment Im a bit of a fan of the art of walking, myself... ( http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showf...=1#Post7777470 ). Do you have any walking tips for those of us trying it in the game? Because the walking u guys did was FLAWLESS!

Unfortunately, the walking in Queens of King's is completely hand-programmed in demo-editing. NPCs can walk, and we can co-opt their walking style with the right MOV commands (walkcycle and the like), and the rest is timing how fast they move and where to (generally in the vicinity of 100-150 microseconds per 1 POS increment, for those who do demo-editing.) It's not an emote/character thing that you can do in-game; heroes only run/jog.

Ahh bummer But I'm sure you know that you CAN walk in the current game as a hero, right? (check my link--I figure you might be the kind of person to appreciate it )

Man, just cought this. Hilarious! Damned fine work!

If you ever need cameos, I have a pile of alts willing to help.


 

Posted

So you guys ARE doing a 4th one, right?


 

Posted

Aww man that was awesome!


 

Posted

Glad you enjoyed! A couple new episodes are under construction.

Update for those who care:

I've run into a bit of a minor snag. Show's almost ready to go out the door, but apparently on the last update, something went kaplooie in the demo playback department, and Rum's nifty purple glow is not working. Only having problems with auras on the girls...guys' auras are just peachy. Feh.

Hopefully it won't delay Ep 4 too long...

Queens of King's is a hilarious show, I love it...

Are you guys okay with partying with a villain, because if so I'll try and get my gravity dom to make it...
