No Video!

Well I wanted to put up a video of the game in action but I'm having a bit of trouble recording it.

I use CamStudio which has always worked really well for me in the past but as soon as I start it recording, the game runs at a snails pace. Now I know there's always going to be a bit of lag but this is really bad. Even when I play it back it's like it's playing in slow-motion.

I've played around with a lot of the settings but can't get it to speed up. Seems kind of strange since it's always worked when taking videos of my other games.

Oh well, I'll try again and if it doesn't start behaving I'll have to use another package to record video :(

Wizard Video

This is a short video showing off the main Wizard player character. Ignore the brick tiles and background, it's just a test area.

You can see him firing the 3 different types of magic as well as jumping and double-jumping.

His other special move is "stealth", which is when he pulls his hat down, over himself. When he's in this mode enemies ignore him and walk past. This means you can let enemies walk past you before unleashing your magic on them.

In the top left of the screen you can also see the simple HUD which shows the Wizards energy and the power of your magic. As you fire your wand the magic power-bar decreases.
