Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat – A Sauerbraten Movie by Acuerta

UPDATE: Download link for GEMA victims and the quality obsessed


Personal note:

“Hey everyone,

I had been wanting to make a movie with some of my own frags for years and last week I finally got around to doing it. “Fortune favours the bold” is the result of that. Some things may strike you as odd, such as the John Wick movie sequence or the lack of ingame sounds and transitions. I am an enthusiastic advocate of artistic freedom and the way this mini-movie turned out is exactly what I had had in mind. Sorry if that does not match your personal taste! Like it or lump it, your choice. :)”

    Saw this by coincidence 2 hours after you uploaded it when browsing the Sauerworld yt channel, was glad to see you back at work. Tbh I didn’t even notice the lack of game sounds the first time until you mentioned it here. I’m all about the creativie expression, gj

    Thanks for the positive feedback so far!

    By the way, don’t hesitate to let me know if there were things you didn’t like quite as much. “Artistic freedom” doesn’t necessarily mean that I will completely disregard any negative feedback.
    And who knows, maybe I’ll make another movie some day. :)

      + 60 fps
      + air rox
      + use of mm
      + general editing

      – was sad that some completely ridiculous frags i remember you making are missing
      – slowmo stuff at the beginning

      awesome vid nevertheless, by far the best sauerbraten-related video i’ve seen, although thelove’s is also pretty great.

        Thanks man! Anyway, about the missing scenes: I only used material that worked with the slow tempo of the song, i.e. mostly air rockets.
        All in all I probably used 10% of my demos for this movie; perhaps because I wanted to save the “good stuff” for another one. :)

        yeah that’s understandable, one of the frags in question was a 180 flick rifle in like 1ms or smth and it saved us a flag in a cw, so point taken. it was so cool tho even i had to take the demo :D

        not sure if sarcasm or not, but it was meant as a compliment, you have some absolutely disgusting shots in that video :D
