I really appreciate everyones positive feedback. Very helpful critiques as well.

felt that the trailer would be much "fuller" if more was said throughout the length of the video
I was wondering about this. My first thought was to have more narration, but didn't want to be too wordy as well. Others have said the same and I think I'll be making a revised version with a bit more narration and diversity.

You might also want to give the player character a better skin or more polygons since players will have him in view throughout the game.
Actually the main character you see walking around is not the "main character" 
. The main character hasn't been made yet. We're using this one as the prototype for all the other npc's that are going to be made during the coming six months.

You have a pretty good music artist there!
Yes, I stumbled upon Chris' website and he graciously allowed me to use his music in-game. Here's his site in case you want to check out his other stuff.

Also I love the sun
The sun and most of the other special effects were done by Rhuarc - awesome job as always!

Which program do you used to make this video and which program to capture it?
Yes, I tried all those low-end screen capture programs and never got any to work to my satisfaction. What I ended up doing was outputing directly from the video card to a DV camcorder and rebooting the computer (then the computer screen popped up on my camcorder display). Then I simply hit record on the camcorder while I played the game. Then I recaptured the camcorder footage back into the computer as an .avi and spliced it all together using Pinnacle Studio. That method has worked for me, but I imagine there must be an easier way I haven't discovered yet (anyone know of one?)
Thanks again,
Peter
