OpenMW 0.19.0

[psi29a]

Ubuntu Quantal (12.10) has been built and tested, live on ppa. It uses static ogre 1.8.1 instead of Ubuntu's 1.8.0 because of something weird that was discovered with shadows turned on. Not sure if Ogre bug or not, we need scrawl to confirm that.

Wow nice! Congrats guys!

You should really consider adding more tags, in all of the videos. Because the video suggestions make no sense whatsoever. And it would really help getting the views up if OpenMW videos were related to high publicity Morrowind videos

Necrod, yep, I'll get on that this release and change the past videos.

You forgot, didn't you

Don't forget to update the Media page with the new video.

No I didn't! In fact, I added some rather shameless tags like "overhaul", "rebuilt", "remake", "Let's play" as well as the names of all of the main Elder Scrolls games and their expansions, etc. If someone else wants to come up with better tags or has suggestions, be my guest. I think it either takes a long time for the tags to update or there is more to YouTube's recommendation system than we realize.

I recommend you start adding into the description the changelog like you used to as that significantly increased your YouTube ranking. Also, I recommend adding in the basic description to each of your videos, so the description "should" look something like this (note, I added the "The Elder Scrolls III: " part for better keyword usage):

OpenMW is an attempt to reimplement the popular role playing game The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It aims to be a fully playable, open source implementation of the game. You must own Morrowind to use OpenMW. You can view the changelog for this version and check out our website by following the links below:

If you follow that description template for each video I'm pretty sure you will rise in YouTube's ranks. As for keywords I recommend keeping it simple as you don't want to look like you are doing blackhat marketing with YouTube. This should do:

OpenMW, Morrowind, The Elder Scrolls, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, OpenMW commentary, OpenMW latest, game engine reimplementation, open source game engine, open source

That should work out for some better results views wise, overall keep the description long and the keywords meaningful. I hope this helps, I should mention I have some good experience with internet marketing and this is all just off the top of my head from what I have learned.

Oh gee, thanks! I can't say I really realized stuff in the description box affected search/recommendation functions. Thanks for schooling me

No problem, I hope OpenMW gets some more publicity soon!
