Road to Release 1: The Interface Tutorial

battists · 03-15-2010, 06:08 PM

Hi everyone, and welcome to the Road to Release!!

As we approach release, we will be posting a variety of articles and information about OOTP 11 to generate excitement over the pending release of the game. Road to Release articles will be posted here on the forums, but also on our OOTP Developments web site, and on our Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Road to Release articles won't be posted every day, but they should appear NO LESS than every OTHER day. So, without further ado, I give you . . .

Road to Release 1: The Interface Tutorial
Every year we try to release one or more video tutorials, and this year is no exception. Below are some links to the interface tutorial that will ship with the game. The tutorial is geared primarily towards first-time players of OOTP, but here's a chance for a sneak peek at the changes to the user interface and one of the skins that will come with the game. You'll also get a peek at a few new UI features, such as the schedule bar and mass select as well!

Whether you're a grizzled veteran or an OOTP rookie, you're sure to benefit from this exciting and informative walk through, which can be viewed in either of two formats:

Download the Interface Tutorial in Windows Media (.wmv) format here (download size approx. 20 MB)
View a streaming version of the Interface Tutorial here (requires Shockwave)

Preorder now!
Like what you see? You're running out of time to get OOTP at a 25% discount, so preorder now for Windows/Mac or for Linux!

Looking good Steve. I was hoping you'd click on the player comparison tab. Maybe next time?

RandyTiger · 03-15-2010, 06:33 PM

It would have been nice if this had been subtitled so the hearing-impaired folks like me could understand what's being said.

I got very little out of this, dude. *thumbs down*

*scowls*

towerofpower · 03-15-2010, 06:34 PM

Awesome info Steve! Can't wait to import my fictional world I've had going since OOTPB 8.

My work Linux box doesn't support WAV. I guess I gotta go home for the viewing

Very sorry to start out with a disappointment.

However, this is the only RTR that isn't friendly to the hearing-impaired.

Cornelius McGillicuddy · 03-15-2010, 08:23 PM

I am hearing impaired. Just ask my wife lol. And I heard everything just fine. And I'm drooling. This is the first release I'm really looking forward to.

kq76 · 03-15-2010, 08:43 PM

Nice job, Steve. You've got a great voice for it too.

Goody · 03-15-2010, 08:49 PM

Excellent!

damientheomen3 · 03-15-2010, 09:17 PM

You sound sexy.

MizzouRah · 03-15-2010, 09:38 PM

Excellent job!

I'm getting very excited!!!

DWK · 03-15-2010, 09:57 PM

Great tutorial, I love how it doesn't look like any drastic changes were made. OOTPX is nearly a perfect game as it is so you guys definitely seem to get the "ain't broke don't fix it" mantra. I'm just excited about the updated rosters if nothing else.

FYI, he charges $3.99 per minute for the first 10 minutes, then $2.99 per minute after that for phone "tutorials".

BusterKing · 03-16-2010, 10:54 AM

Well done Steve!

Don't forget to sticky this.

Goodsox · 03-16-2010, 11:11 AM

Very Nice! Been MIA for almost a year now due to personal life keeping me away from this place. First order of business taken care of, OOTP 11 pre-ordered
