Friday Facts #353 - Trailer update
Re: Friday Facts #353 - Trailer update
Probably the most difficult part of reproducing the main trailer is those pesky boilers... just remind me how I got screwed up when opening the old 0.14 save in 0.15
Re: Friday Facts #353 - Trailer update
I'm glad I'm not the only one recognising how iconic the old main trailer is, and it's going to be awesome to see it with fresh graphics! Even to this day when I rewatch it I go "wow, this is really cool, gotta try it!" Just as I did all those years ago when it made me buy 0.12 (in spite of early access concerns).
I think it's a nice nod to the existing fan base, and let's face it, this game is old now and has already sold the majority of the copies it's going to sell. It's not a day too early that the devs put an end this journey and (I hope) start working on an expansion or something that'll give me a reason to fork over a bit more cash to them.I do not like the idea of giving a history lesson in the launch trailer. It is going to be the first thing people see about Factorio. It might not make a good impression and could be confusing. /.../

just because it's an FFF doesn't mean the text color needs to be #FFF
something between #CCC and #DDD is much better on the eyes for me.
also i think the paragraph headlines, e. g. "Locale plan update Klonan" could have the nickname part in a different color or significantly different size, because they look like one 'entity' now.
My color birthday was May 2nd 2020 - Thank you Enchroma

Re: Friday Facts #353 - Trailer update
I always thought it'd be cool to watch a single piece of - say - iron go from miner to furnace to belt, then each circuit green to blue, and finally into a satellite that is placed in a rocket to launch. All the while around it, the rest of the factory gets more and more complex to build other things (not everything ofc but give the player a good bit of spaghetti to admire).
Maybe this concept would work well with the versions. You could mine/smelt/belt the iron in 0.1, make green circuits in 0.5, red and blue in 0.12, and the satellite and rocket in 0.18.
Just a thought take it or leave it![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Re: Friday Facts #353 - Trailer update
New FFF looks shiny and all, but readability got worse. So
Code: Select all
document.body.style.fontFamily = "sans-serif";
document.body.style.backgroundImage = "url('')";
document.body.style.backgroundColor = "#111111";
Re: Friday Facts #353 - Trailer update
Any plans to include 0.1, as shown in the screenshots, on that page?Bilka wrote: βFri Jun 26, 2020 2:41 pmYou can find the stable versions of previous releases on https://factorio.com/download/archive.someone1337 wrote: βFri Jun 26, 2020 2:35 pmPlz re-compile (dont forget linux!) and re-release the old versions of the game!![]()

Re: Friday Facts #353 - Trailer update
I want to try 0.1 now. Copy please!
Re: Friday Facts #353 - Trailer update
Yes! How cool to play this version 0.1! The difference between the game then and now is absolutely astonishing!
I'm really looking forward to playing 1.0, and to building a 20k spm factory again!![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

Re: Friday Facts #353 - Trailer update
I wonder if new players will be interested in Factory 0.1. While it is very interesting for those, who did travel along with you, others might not care. What is it you like to achieve with the new trailer?

Re: Friday Facts #353 - Trailer update
Can't say that I don't appreciate good graphics, but I gotta say.
I really loved the old bulky biters.
And seing those old locomotive graphics ...
... They just have something the current ones don't.

Re: Friday Facts #353 - Trailer update
Wich would be a considerable chunk of players.
A (launch) trailer explicitly created for leaving early accsess covering the evolution of prior versions, dosenβt seem that far fetched.
For players not intereseted, the two additional trailers will remain (and be partially updated).
Re: Friday Facts #353 - Trailer update
The FFF mentioned that proofreading of the "target languages" started recently. What exactly are these target languages?
The 21 languages that are listed as "supported" on Steam, or just a subset of those?
On Crowdin there is more like 40 languages, but not all of them are targeted, right?

Re: Friday Facts #353 - Trailer update
Probably the 21 listed on Steam. They want professional translation to support their advertising.
The other languages are a bonus for people who buy the game, but they don't come with the same quality guarantee.

Spanish (Spain/Latin America)
Swedish
Tagalog
Thai
Turkish
Ukrainian
Vietnamese

Re: Friday Facts #353 - Trailer update
I guess the target languages of Altagram are the ones they could translate into, but I don't think Factorio will be translated into all these languages, only a sub-set of them.
Considering that their proofreading was supposed to hit Crowdin, and nothing has happened on Crowdin in that regard, we might get an update on that topic in the next FFF. Looking forward to it. And even more so looking forward to their corrections to the locales.
