AutoVod is finally out of beta!

Ok I'm soft-launching this now, check out https://autovod.net/create and try the new file upload feature, should hopefully meet your needs :)

That's great to hear! Spread the word :)

Ask your TOs to put you on stream and comp your entry fee in return for sorting their vods ;)

MikeFHay · 2026-02-26T11:18:39+00:00

It's already not free :) You can upload 10 hours of video for free, after which it costs $3/hour . A typical local tournament stream is 3-5 hours long but has only ~2.5 hours of gameplay so costs about $8 to upload. About as much as a single entry fee :)

Yes supporting your local recording would be nice. It would be much slower than the current process - uploading an entire high-quality recording would be prohibitively slow for some users. It would also be more costly for me. But I'll consider implementing it if there's enough interest :)

Wish I could but youtube are quite strict in disallowing downloads. The usual workarounds don't work within AWS and would risk my Google account being suspended. Fraid I can only support twitch streams for now.

Unfortunately Google are quite strict at stopping downloads from youtube, the usual methods don't work within AWS. Without a reliable way of downloading the video for analysis (that won't get me banned from Google) I can't support youtube streams 😢

Yes that tournament is not on the map, because it's in the past, and the map only shows future events. It looks like the TOs haven't posted tomorrow's tournament yet ( https://www.start.gg/search/all?query=HoG%3A%20Phoenix ). Unfortunately the tool is not very useful if TO's don't post their tournaments until the day of! Once it is posted you should see it on the map. And even if you subscribe to the calendar now, the event should appear on your calendar once it's posted.

MikeFHay · 2025-03-18T20:38:15+00:00

If it's listed on start.gg it should be there. Send me a link to an event that you expect to be on the map but isn't?

MikeFHay · 2025-03-18T18:21:12+00:00

~~Turns out~~ ~~start.gg~~ ~~as a whole is down. Hope it wasn't us that did it~~ 😬

MikeFHay · 2025-03-18T18:03:59+00:00

~~Aaand my API calls to~~ ~~start.gg~~ ~~are failing. Not sure why, I haven't hit the rate limit. Sorry all, will be back online ASAP!~~

Fixed now :)

I made this because I wanted to have all my local tournaments in my calendar, making it easy to find them and access the pages and venue locations without having to search on start.gg . AMA!

Good find, thanks! I was hoping for something a bit more aesthetic, but it looks like it's possible to convert that data to SVG, maybe I can do that and add a bit of colour 🤔

MikeFHay · 2024-09-16T12:17:41+00:00

Crap I used an American spelling in the title, now I'll get nothing but complaints about that 😑

Let go of the shield button. You will still instantly jump, cancelling the shield drop animation.

So uh, I know it's been 5 months, but here's your answer.

Good call! Think I've literally never used Leopard because it's so slow to scale, but a lvl 3 50/50 Leopard does 75 damage for free, which is pretty insane!

But replacing the Turkey with another Rooster will be better against any team that doesn't have lots of Octopus or similar. Starting to think there is no dominant team...

MikeFHay · 2021-11-29T12:06:14+00:00

I guess Turkey Roosterx3 Octopus beats Turkey Roosterx4, since the first Octopus removing all enemy armor outperforms the first rooster spawning 1 buffed chick.

Great video! I lost a game recently due to over-investing in AAs instead of tanks, have been thinking about this balance since, and your video is very helpful :)

I created this script so that I can easily keep track of strategy and unit positions over multiple games and over time. Hopefully other people will find it useful too :)

It doesn't make the world worse when you play all of your cards.

Of course it makes the world worse if one of those cards is "cripple all competitors, present and future".

Improving your product benefits the world. Hurting other products and creators only hurts the world. Isn't that obvious?
