Ugh, thought this was updated...please don't ask for progress, CommanderAwesome will reveal their work when they feel that it is time to do so.

Soon™.

Awesome! Looks like things are coming along nicely.

Very nice work. Mostly just bug fixes left to do at this point?

That and adding other skin sets.

Looks cool!

(By the way, I'd recommend using Fraps http://fraps.com/ or Open Broadcaster Software https://obsproject.com/ to record video. They're MUCH better than the software you're currently using. )

Well, I use Windows XP and I don't want to buy software. I'll consider OBS when I upgrade. (I'm currently using hypercam 2)

Oh rip, didn't know OBS was incompatible with XP. Well don't forget that the free version of Fraps allows you to record up to 30 seconds with a small watermark. Also, Fraps is only $35. Totally worth it.

Before OBS, I used MSI Afterburner pretty extensively as a robust free recording software (it's really a GPU tool, but it comes part and parcel with a great free recording component). Commanderawesome, you may want to check it out.

Off/topic

I actually saw a comment in the video "How To Stop Fraps From Making 29 Second Videos - Voice", and the comment linked to a Fraps setup, when I used it, it didn't stop at 30 seconds. I thought the 30 second video was a bug, but Marth pointed out the 30 second watermark thing. I tested it out, I thought it was just a fix, but if Fraps is really suppose to stop at 30 seconds, this might be the full version of it for free...I don't want you guys to get in trouble, but should I even post the link to you guys?

Hilariously, Fraps is incredibly easy to pirate considering the fact that it doesn't include any sort of security features. However, pirating software is obviously illegal and it's essentially the same as walking into a store and stealing something off the shelves, and there's really no good reason to pirate Fraps in the first place since it's only freakin $35. I purchased a Fraps license for that amount 7 years ago so I could record gameplay and upload it to YouTube and I couldn't be happier with it. With that said, no, you probably shouldn't post the link you found since, well, not only is it advocating piracy, it's against the rules here, so.

tl;dr: No, you shouldn't post the link.

Alright Marth, thanks for clarifying that. It was a Dropbox link, so I didn't know...thought it was a fix. I am against piracy myself, but I didn't know what I just did was something that I am against...

I recommend using BandiCam (Free Version). It lets you record up to 10 minutes and just inlcudes a small watermark in top of your screen. I always use this program and it's totally simple to use. Even the video files aren't way too large. I have had fraps and it was terrible. I recorded for 10 secs and had a 600Mb video file on my hard drive.

The video size is large, yes, but that's because the video quality is nearly flawless (which is also because it's uncompressed). Fraps is beyond excellent if you have the hard drive space for it. You could even consider it to be industry-grade software since practically everyone in the industry uses it lel.

I'm working off of limited space and a crappy video card. I tried Bandicam, couldn't get it to work.
