Zero-K going to indie expo! Help with screenshots!

In 3 days, Licho and [LCC]quantum[0K] are going to GDS indie dev conference in Prague.

We will have our booth and will present Zero-K to people over two days.
Also there will be a short (5 min) on-stage presentation of Zero-K and we will enter indie game competition.


I would like to ask for some help getting this:

• awesome ultra-quality screenshots of the game ... whatever you think is cool/impressive
• interesting replays or commented videos ( Shadowfury333 ) or other cool videos (can also be staged like our features trailer)
• online assistance for the presentation (we might let people play online so we would need online mentoring/moderation standing by)
• write why do you think ZK is great (we could use it as a quote for presentation)

Please post what you create or find here into this forum thread.

Thank you!

Good thing we did server testing, new players incoming.

Also, press kit is probably a good thing to have. But with this being announced so late, I don't think we can do that much...

From what I've shown people of the game, the things that draw attention tend to be:
- that there aren't artificial APM sinks. When I show people how a "marine split" works in ZK people get excited. Like they've never thought about it being something that should be easy.
- when I show them just how big a clusterfuck can be
- when I show them that there is no tech tree (tends to be a curiosity response)
- functional terraform
- game starts immediately, can be fighting within 30 secs on most maps
- the sheer potential for flashy creative plays

Things that tend to slow down the listener if not well explained:
- commanders being present but not being strider class
- retreat micro and bullet physics (I personally like how it works, but it's not exciting sounding)
- graphics
- modular design of composition

I think the main draw is the flashy plays though. If you could adequately communicate that during a tournament final a player impulsively gravity gunned a crawling bomb, then delivered it straight back to the center of the opponents army (which has the advantage of avoiding targeting), I think you'll have them frothing from every orifice.

B418045 2 on Iced Coffee v4.3 is one of the more interesting games I remember playing recently but I am not sure what the criteria are.

[Spoiler]

Problems:
I have no idea if it would interest somebody if they just glanced at it (there was action going on somewhere for almost all of the game, but it's not huge shiny battles, just a bloodbath)
It was nearly half an hour long which might be too much.
It was a game on 100.0 so it can't be replayed with current Chobby.
It hasn't been commentated (unfortunately all of the interesting games in that tourney which I played in weren't).

In other words, if somebody asked me "sell me ZK by showing me a single game, which I'm gonna sit down and watch and really understand everything that happened" that battle would be high on my list. For "grab my interest in a few seconds" I'm not so sure... but I'm not sure what ZK game I would choose for that task.

Surely between the two of you you could have come up with a single replay where I'm not getting crapped on by Aquanim :P

FWIW the series in this video, especially game 3 B262232 2 on Vittra_v1, was what initially induced me to download ZK as I recall. (I remember thinking "wtf is a puppy?")

(This is me speaking as a 1v1 player though, the team and FFA games above might be more appealing in general. The clanwars game which Drone linked probably maximises interesting stuff happening in the shortest timespan.)

This doesn't need to be sticky still does it?

Best screenshots are on Itch.io now anyways.
