Wat about a video walk through?

Back when I first thought of the DriverWiki, I thought it would be a good idea to make a video walkthrough where the lecture has 15-30 minurtes per era and must collect each and every star within the city.

I was achually thinking it would be a good idea to create a video for each star, locating it from a fairly distincitive destincation.

If we were to do something like this we would want to get the message to the player fairly quickly so the video couldn't be much more than 30 seconds.

But first I think that it is important that we get someone interested in working on the base of the article, if they want to they can also work on the video project mentioned above. But it'll be a good idea to get the simple stuff out the way first.

How can we show what time we needed ? Everyone could just lie. However I have collected all stars already so ...

The purpose isn't to tell others what time they needed to find the stars, the goal is to find the locations for all the stars. Then plan a route which players can use to effectivly locate all the stars.

This would also include the best vehicle to use, and the best method to use when reaching those stars.
It would achually be pretty good, if we could make a video of all the stars being collected at once. Then the player using the DriverWiki can watch that video and play along with it, like a little star finding tutorial.

It'll be a good idea if videos were grouped for finding 10 stars, so at the start of each video the lecturer would start at the nearest garage, with the appropirate car to collect all the stars possible within that car.

But it's important to take screenshots, descriptions of all the star locations first and then we can implement them into the driverwiki.

Perhaps, but first we'd be looking for descriptions on finding each location and screenshots of each star. It'd make finding the stars so much easier.

I actually might start working on a stars page, I'm thinking of starting a basis of all different types of pages, to make sure everything is consistent throughout the website.

Yea that's a good idea since some of the stars were not easy to catch.
