“Why we fly” Community Video Contest

Why do you choose to fly in these bullet riddled skies?

Hello Everyone,
We’re creating a video of the best part of our game: the community! All you have to do is send footage of yourself or of you playing in one of the listed situations.  Everyone who sends in footage will receive an exclusive title reward: Evangelist. If you do one for every situation you will receive a second exclusive title: World Bearer.

The videos that make the cut will be edited together into a community “Why we fly” video. We truly appreciate the time our players put in and want to show them off to the world!

Send your entries to feedback@musegames.com, please have the subject line read “Why we fly” and include your in-game name. Contest submissions will be accepted up until July 1st

Situations:
You can send in footage for one or all of these situations. These help us put a theme to the video and make editing and categorizing much easier. Examples are included for each of these. Feel free to take artistic license with any of these ideas. Videos can use webcam, in-game, related media, or any combination. Feel free to let your creative side flare!

There is no time requirement or limit for these videos.

Why I fly: A video with a description of why you love guns of Icarus.

How to record:

Feel free to use any software or tools you feel comfortable with, these are for players not experienced with video recording my advice is Open Broadcaster Software (free)

To get started

  • Open the program

  • Go to Settings and settings

  • Under broadcast settings go to Mode and set it to File Output Only

  • Set where you want it to save the footage.

    • Now when you press start recording it will always go there

  • Make sure your microphone is properly set up

  • Add a new scene on the main screen

    • Right click to add a new source to that scene either game and/or your webcam.
