I know this makes me stupid, but can I get this through iTunes? Oh great job henning!

Going to go give you a good review if you tell me where. What should I tweet?

Looks like you can indeed get it on iTunes, seaotter.

Starbounder HD - Universal - HD Gameplay Trailer


Super Awsome. My recommendation is skip the first 3 minutes then go buy this game.


Yeah, some dudes just capped this without our participation and let the whole intro play... we haven't been able to video capture and make our own trailer! Rest assured, ours will show off a bit more of the actual game  ::)

Anyone know how to video capture with good frame rates and beautiful images? My computer's pretty fast, but still can't hack it! How the heck do Starcraft casters do it?

Ohhh...that explains it.  That's a relief.

A lot of people have success with FRAPS.  But that's on a PC.

My guess would be to use a phone with HDMI-out and bring that into a PC with a Hauppauge video encoder card:

Once the video is on the PC, you can use pretty standard editing tools to create your demo video.

I have bought it. Do you want me to mention you are a skeptic in the review?

If you find something about the story or premise to be particularly skeptical or un-, mention it!
Ie: what the heck is producing gravity? Why did you bring a ship specifically designed for hopping platforms along with you on a 5000 year-long mission to space...  :D

If you could get someone on the board to tweet your link, that would probably hit a lot of your target audience. Can you give to them free?

Just bought it from Google Play.  Are you going to put it on Amazon too?

After I play it, I'll write a review.

We're gonna have a real promo video and website next week, I'd actually prefer to wait on hitting a lot of them til we're ready.
But anyway, I sent you some promo codes.

Bought it. I'm not used to the gravity and I don't play a lot of tilt games so this will take a while of me sucking at it before I get any good...  :)
I've also already managed to crash the audio in the game, maybe by letting it go to sleep too many times while I did work stuff and had to restart the game to get it back. It also crashed in iOS, but I'm used to that happening on my iPhone. The graphics are nice though, should be a fun game to play!

Looks good and plays good! I would consider shortening the intro on your next release.  It's too long, imo.
 
Well done!

Heh, one of my student employees downloaded the game right in front of me.  I didn't even have to threaten to fire him.
