Length

[mbedd]

Hi peops- just a quicky on two types of length- How long would you wait for a Sad Geezer episode to load in- For example, would you not mind waiting 3 minutes or so for a complex cartoon, or would you prefer to lose the detail- less backgrounds, lower quality sound etc, in order to get the toon loaded in quicker. This will be inportant in the structure of the upcoming features- Cheers

Groovy graphics in three minutes? Okay graphics instantaneously? I have no problems delaying gratification. I’d take complex and groovy in three minutes. Three minutes is all the time I need to grab another cup o’ joe. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

Could you do both? A small preview for those with naff modems and a large version for those with patience or broadband?

That’s totally possible – simplified backgrounds, lower quality sound. No fancy shading effects etc. That sounds perfect.

I have a naff modem, and I’m willing to wait far more than 3 mins for an episode if it’s any good [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

I would have no qualms about waiting 3-5 minutes for something to load, providing it was something I really wanted to see. But then, the idea about having 2 versions, or even a quick-loading preview, is great. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
