| Looks OK although not my cup of tea. Are you using that video for marketing etc? If so you might want to correct the spelling and grammar errors. A couple I spotted: "6 beatifully themed backdrops" - Beautifully "Create garden of your dreams" - Create the garden of your dreams "Avalibale for PC: Windows and MacOSX" - Available |

| Thanks for pointing out errors. The movie is for marketing, so we need to correct it pretty soon :) |

| dwarfs=gnomes? | 
| 
 | ||
| To me dwarfs=gnomes - is there a difference in English culture? | 
|

| I wondered about that myself but didn't mention it because I know sod-all about gardening.  Coulda been some sort of plant for all I know. We call them gnomes. That aside, 'dwarfs' is normally used as a verb in English. I.e. "My beer collection is huge. It dwarfs yours" - to express that something else is relatively small etc. Plural of dwarf is normally 'dwarves', although afaik 'dwarfs' is still acceptable, although much less common. :) |

| Dwarf Conifers are trees that do no grow very tall. Gardeners often use them as dividers, or at least I think they do.  That's about as much as I know, or care to know, about gardening. It's never been my thing... I wonder if he's referring to dwarf conifers? |

| Gnome is the correct term for the little painted men in gardens.  Having a dwarf in your garden would be plain weird. I'm planning on using Youtube for some game vids too soon. What did you use to record + edit please? |

|  Having a dwarf in your garden would be plain weird. Unless it was a gardener employed under the Equal Opportunities Act. :p |

|  Garden Gnomes. |

| Oh the game - it look like garden 'painting' - could be fun for kids, but you can sort of do similar in The Sims. |

| Yep, I was talking about gnomes, though straight translation from polish to english is dwarves and my poor english did the rest :D We use Windows Movie Maker + SnagIt. Gameplay movies are generaly good for promoting games. I even sold some games as pre-orders based on gameplay movie. cheers Roman |

| Roman, Great work as usual - well done to you and your team. Your games really show what can be developed with a bit of thought and a focus on a niche market. [ I agree with the comments about the marketing video - you must get the spelling correct if you are pushing educational work. ] Great stuff! IPete2. |

| @Grey: right, that's why I decided to do gameplay movies for other games, though not expecting such a good results :D take care Roman |
