My first attempt at in-game footage capture.

I finished my first Steam-based game today, and it was Dust. Going to replay the final scenes again, but this time, try to catch the fight on video.

With my new laptop up and running, I am happily playing several Steam-based games:

Dust (I am pretty impressed by this. It is a platformer, side-scrolling game with really nice visuals, voice-acting and insane combo options) Dungeon Defenders (yet to start this under Steam, but played it extensively under Android) Dota (downloading) Wakfu (played on my old 32-bit box, but Steam refuses to start the game if you are running 32-bit arch. With a 64-bit arch, it will start)

I also have some extra games that I’m not playing or stopped playing: Bastion (tried it and it is interesting, but I’m finding it really difficult to get into Dungeon Hearts (slow and laggy) Ravensword: Shadowlands (an interesting 3D, but very little customisation options) Toribash (Appeal wore off very quickly)

I am also playing two non-Steam-based games

World of Warcraft League of Legends

Although, I have them tied into the Steam framework so I can start them up via Steam and grab screenshots, etc.

I have also looked at Fraps and Kazam – two screen recorders (Fraps for Windows, Kazam for Linux) and both perform pretty well. Fraps performs great, I got smooth high-quality video out of WoW. Kazam, I am tweaking settings. It also generates good-quality video, but I need to play with the framerate and encoding settings. Look out for some uploads at some point in the future.
