The SDCC 2011 Presentation

Hey everyone.

Instead of trying to uprez cellphone pictures or squint to see all the details of the presentation we did at San Diego ComicCon, I got permission to make the presentation public via the Prezi website.

So, if you have Flash enabled, you can check out the presentation (without our lovely voice overs, sadly) here at the Prezi website.

Click the right arrow to move forward through the path, left arrow to move back, and you can click any part of it to center that part.

Thanks Posi,

the contact icons above their head, can we turn that off as an option, I have always loved City of Heroes subtle integration of contacts into the game world without breaking immersion.

Something about exclamation marks above people's heads annoys me

Will we be able to get contacts without doing paper missions? Just curious.

Just as an aside, I've thought prezi was cool ever since a colleague first pointed it out to me: a lot of sales and marketing presentations designed to be delivered to a general audience seem to be implemented in it now. It tends to jar viewers out of Powerpoint-lock. I made a mental note that Paragon Studios was using it for some of the I21/Freedom focus group presentations as well.

I hear voices already so hopefully they'll be nice and narrate this for me.

I have Flash, but this just doesn't work for me. I get a blank file folder with a tab that says something like "Paragon Personnel Files," and that's it. At first I actually thought it indicated a file that I had to download, but I think that's part of the presentation.

Anyone have any tips?

It sounds like something is being blocked on your end. The presentation should start with a tabletop with ten file folders on it, and as the presentation loads postit notes and pictures should start appearing on them. The right-pointing triangle at the bottom center of the presentation should step through it, one step at a time. The "More" button on the far right bottom should have an option to autoplay the presentation. If you don't see those buttons or the pictures and postit notes don't appear something has probably gone wrong with the Flash player.

I figured as much. I've shut my browser and restarted several times. I've even checked other flash files and flash sites, and they work fine. This doesn't. I has a sad. Thanks anyways.

Teleport to contact? Thats pretty darn swish.


Always remember, we were Heroes.

Agreed. I've never been a big fan of these. I can understand why people from games that do use them would like them, but it'd be great if they could be turned off for those of us who prefer the more subtle contacts.

Mercy mission revamp, good, hopefully they got rid off all those snake missions.

Also it's kinda funny how I forget there are faces behind those developer names. lol

Thanks for the presentation, even if it involves a lot of annoying bouncing around chaotically in a smallish window.


Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

Okay, that was cool. I liked that I could explore the area, or just click the Next button to see the highlights in order.

There is definitely going to be plenty to do. I've never had so many new character ideas before. Usually it takes a couple months of seeing how other players use the sets before I want to try. On the other side of the leveling spectrum, I'm really looking forward to The Underground incarnate trial!

Also, it was cute that there was a mug of coffee near Zwillinger to represent the weekly Community Coffee chats. That and the other little in-the-know extras scattered around took it from marketing to personable. Kudos to the presentation designer!

PS Here's another vote for an option to turn off icons above the contact's head.

HEEYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

NOW we see the unedited version of that picture with the whole Phalanx!

States, Citadel, BAB, Synapse, and Posi are gearing up for a major beatdown, either in full-on 'Bring it!' mode or charging into the fray...

... Numina's looking like, "I may be a ghost and I still think this is going to hurt..."

... and Manticore and Psyche are holding onto one another like, "We are so dead." (All that's missing is "My Heart Will Go On" playing in the background.)

Nice! Thank you for the link, Zombie Man. It was fun to hear the excitement directly from the horse's mouth to go along with the presentation.

You know, Zombie, I just noticed your new avatar, and the Watchmen blood drop. Nice touch.

I see WarWitch got a new title. Or rather, is finally able to let us know what her 'real' title has been all along.

I find the level of excitement to be a very positive sign that this, despite my earlier fears, isn't something they are being forced to do but rather something they are genuinely enthusiastic about!

Congratulations Dev's you've done what I thought wasn't possible. I feel the excitement over a new Issue once again! Haven't been this excited about an issue since Ouroboros and Cim.

Yeah, I made that in Prezi Desktop. Prezi has some pretty severe limitations, but like any tool, you work with what you have and make the best of it. I am glad you guys enjoyed the hard work.
