Well, the idea is great but this tool DOES NOT WORK.
It has a test mode which seems to work nice, but sadly that is the ONLY thing this tool does.

It can't connect to Twitch at all, so you can't use it during stream with watchers. (I want to be able to refund so didn't test with YouTube or such, but apparently it doesn't work either)
I really wanted this to work but, there seems not to be support for it at all.

Have to say, it recommends a low res to run (1280x720), I used all recommended settings on my NVIDA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti card and yet, this software is quite heavy in resources! (takes nearly a as much CPU as No Man's Sky in low res!!)

I'm going to refund it, maybe if someday it works I could buy it again.

PS. Before buying this or any 'streamer' software, make sure you check streaming channels to make sure who is actually using it. In this case, sadly no one does.

Este es un software de captura que...
¿no hace mucho?
Incluye benchmark (pruebas de desempeño), y eso
es en sí todo lo que hace, que OBS Studio no
hace... (sin plugins)
También, ¡el soporte para éste es terrible!
Yo envié una pregunta en Abril, y hoy (18 de Junio)
¡todavía no la responden!
Por otro lado, la comunidad de OBS Studio,
siempre apoya ;3

Oh, tuve que usar OBS Studio para capturar
Action! y vice-versa, jeje.
El tamaño del área a mostrar puede cambiarse,
y en OBS Studio incluso tenemos una 'vista
previa' con el Modo Estudio ;3

La calidad de las grabaciones...¡es la misma! XD
Consideren que la calidad depende mucho de
los CODECs y NO del software.

Oh, ¿Action! no soporta Stream Deck?
Y...¿cómo dicen que ésta es una 'herramienta
popular para streaming'? ¡Los streamers usamos
Stream Decks o hardware similar!

Chequé los plugins de la Stream Deck y mi
pregunta en Steam HOY y AMBOS siguen igual
que en el video, nada nuevo que reportar :c

Pueden ver mi pregunta en Steam aquí
(para los desarrolladores de Action!):
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/app/228180/discussions/0/5281042383598394775/

-En resumen, Action! es como Microsoft Paint, pero
¡súper costoso! Pueden hacerse muy pocas cosas con él
y... ¡eso es todo!
-OBS Studio es como Adobe Photoshop, pero totalmente
gratis, con muchas opciones y siempre útil, oh y
también ¡muy muy fácil de usar! XD

De hecho OBS Studio soporta los PSD (¡archivos de photoshop!)
¡Mucha gente usó/usa OBS Studio durante la cuarentena
con resultados geniales! XD

Pues, Action! NO tiene:
Escenas, transiciones, captura de dispositivos de entrada,
transparencia ni ningún efecto como gamma, tono, etc..
OBS Studio puede hacer todo ésto y mucho más, nos
permite 'editar' los videos mientras grabamos/transmitimos ;3

También, podrían usar Action! para proyectos pequeños
pero ¡NO vale la pena!
Especialmente cuando hay muchas alternativas
gratuitas a OBS Studio, así que NO HAY NECESIDAD
de comprar Action! para nada.
Es súper costoso para lo que ofrece y ni siquiera
tiene un buen equipo de soporte.

¡Síp! ¡ Action! puede tomar capturas de pantalla!
Pero pueden hacer eso también con herramientas
gratuitas como ShareX (gratuito) que también
graba video ;3

[EN]
It is a capturing software that ...doesn't do
much?
It includes benchmark, and that is moslty all
it can do that OBS Studio can't... (without plugins)
Also, support for this one is terrible!
I sent a request in April, and today (July 18th) has
not been replied yet!!!
In the other hand, OBS Studio's community is
always supportive ;3

Oh, I had to use OBS Studio to capture Action!
and vice versa, hehe.
The size of the displayed area can be changed,
and in OBS Studio, we even have a 'preview' with
the Studio Mode ;3

The quality in recordings... is the same! XD
I mean consider that the quality depends mostly
on CODECs and NOT in the software.

Oh, Action! does NOT support Stream Deck?
So... how can they say this is a 'popular
streaming tool'? Streamers use Stream Decks
or similar hardware!!!

I checked the Stream Deck's plugins and
my Steam's request TODAY and BOTH are still
the same as in the video, nothing new to report :c

You can check my Steam's request here (to Action!'s devs):
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/app/228180/discussions/0/5281042383598394775/

-In sum, Action! is like Microsoft Paint, but super
pricey!! You can do a few things with it and...that's it!!
-OBS Studio is like Adobe Photoshop, but completelly
free, with lots of options and always useful, oh and
very very easy to use too! XD

In fact OBS Studio has support for PSD (photoshop files!!)
Many people used/uses OBS Studio during the quarantine
with great results!! XD

So, Action! does NOT have:
Scenes, transitions, input device capture, transparency or
any effect like gamma, hue, etc.
OBS Studio, can do all this and much more, it allows you
to 'edit' the video while recording / streaming ;3

Also, you could use Action! for small projects... but
it is NOT worth it!! Especially when there are many
free alternatives to OBS Studio, so there is
NO NEED to buy Action! at all.
It is super pricey for what it offers and doesn't even
has a good support team.

Yes! Action! can take screenshots!! But you
can do that too with tools like ShareX (free) which
records video too ;3

(You can watch the video I made here: https://youtu.be/0_aAQ3CtzO8)

I like flight simulators , but I'm sorry I didn't like this one at all.

It is hard to control the planes (only 2 available on the free version), you need to learn by heart lots of keys combinations, so don't even think on using a gamepad, you still need a keyboard (with a numpad!, so it is worse if you are using a laptop).
Stereo render for 3D needs to be adjusteds.
I couldn't even create a DCS account, maybe because I used the free version?
Not even the Exit button works, it just keeps restarting the game :v
Too many flaws.

Not recommended, at least the free version since it is terrible.

Es excelente para crear tus propios niveles, y juntar elementos de varios juegos dentro de un mismo espacio gracias al Workshop, para jugar, creat una imágen o pequeña animación. También puedes usarlo como un simulador para crear máquinas. No tiene realmente límite lo que puedes hacer con él.

Ok, I tried it because of the positive feedback it has and a couple videos I watched, but I cannot recommend this one, it is too complicated and confusing to use, if you want to make animations try something else.
I watched the official tutorial videos and have not been able to make an animation yet!! :c

-First, not all rigs are correctly made, so you will have to be checking each part of the rigs individually.
The videos I watched used some "default" models, where bones were correctly made, workshop ones do NOT always work, I guess there is no standard format for them?
Besides not all models are compatible with the software.
-You are FORCED to load a map!! Even if you want to make something quick with greenscreen for overlaying.
-There is NO map preview, so if you want some landscape for your video be prepared to check file-per-file since there is NO way to know what you are loading.
-The animations are too hard to make. Reallusion's "It's Me" from 2005 was way too much easier to use than this one, so as iDance and others. Here the animation "pops" each frame and you need an elaborated process to make it smooth, yet you need to correct the movements frame by frame, Adobe Premiere (final touches software) makes more fluent animations in 2 clicks.
-In this software, when you edit your model's position you are editing the entire "movie" at the same time for some reason, have to define times/frames individually.
-There seems to be NO keyframes for the models.
-There are NO default animations. Nope, not even for walking, face expressions or even wave hello, you have to do it all.
-Last and maybe the worst, the software seems to be abandoned now, last update was on 2012.

I played the game, and even the tutorial is confusing. I got on the truck and took me a while to get the pull vehicle on the move, then it got stuck with a sign outside the area (bad physics). The map rarely shows you where to go (it never took me to the place I had to go, the closest was 1 block away!!!!), and apparently if you get stuck (like my case) nothing helps you, even restarting the game does not solve the problem, talking with the boss is impossible, so you easily get lost and don't know what to do. By the way, if you restart the game, the path on the map is cleared!!, so where to next?
The I took the truck to the construction site (the dig machine was stuck with the sign!!), and the boss told me to park, so I did but I couldn't talk to him!!, maybe because I didn't took the pull cart!
I erased the savegame and started over (the tutorial again) and this time I managed to reach the construction site, but when I had to rent a forklift had the same problem, it was not possible to load it on the truck or the pull car, and taking it on the road to the construction site doesn't help. Sales person and boss are no help at all, especially when you can't even talk to them.
This game needs a lot of work, they tried to make it realistic but made it too complicated.
I asked for a refund, sorry.

I love plane simulators, but this one is pretty terrible.

Apparently you have to pay for the planes.

I couldn't even try the game at all, it always showed as unable to access missions since I "had no planes" (not even quick missions).

According to the videos it is a good game, but I prefer Microsoft Flight Simulator X (has planes) and is is much cheaper.

I'm glad didn't pay for this one.

We have a game very similar to Onechanbara Bikini Zombie Slayers, the game is very simple, just kill everyone with your katana. Simple right?

After playing it for a while I found many points that in my opinion could be improved in the game:

The Story:
Actually not much to say about that ... maybe becasue I haven't played much XD

The training:
Actually not much to say, I think N64 Super Smash Brothers' "How to Play" was more instructional than this one since it just basically tells you the buttons to use, but you cannot choose type/number of enemies, if they attack you, doesn't show you combos or anything else that could be useful.

The Camera:
You actually have no control of the camera (at least not for useful things) and it returns to "normal" by itself no matter what you do. Most of enemies at first are easy to kill, but since the camera is terrible they can kill you with ease.
Since there's no way to lock on an enemy or to control properly the camera, you may waste some of your techniques (even Holy :c ) attacking just the air or end up just running/dodging to avoid being attacked. The camera is there just nerfing you maybe?

Cooldown:
For some enemies and especially bosses, you may hit them as much as you can but they never seem to stop attacking you, they have nearly no cooldown or pause between attacks unless you make them "bleed".
Enemies are always attacking you and even run towards you, making some of the fights very hard. Besides, with bosses there are many techniques you can't block.

The character (only 1 playable?):
Contrary to the enemies, your character has been nerfed a lot, with several ways to stop attacking. Ie. when you use Zanshin (right trigger on Steam Controller) it takes your character a while to finish the technique, but since enemies are always close to you those seconds may get you killed with ease if you're not careful with timming. Switching techniques is the same, ie. getting out of charging Holy to dodge takes moments that may get you killed.
Here, it is important to mention that Holy seem to be the only "distance" attack and it doesn't always work even when using the Release button with full katana gauge and all (I found other players complaing about this on the Steam Forums) :c
Also, some enemies can block the Holy technique :O so your effort might be worthless anyway :c

There are many techniques in the game, but the gameplay is poor, you'll find yourself doing just one over and over just to survive.

enemies never stop attacking/moving + you can't move/attack properly = bad gamming experience

Obviously I haven´t finished the game yet, so I don't know if it is a long game. Maybe it is a short one and they made a bad gameplay to make you feel it is longer. Ie. Most of the time I have been playing so far is just fighting 1 boss (one of the easiest ones maybe, Kaiser), and have never been even close to kill him (difficulty set to "Normal"), even tried buying all the possible upgrades with the SP I had, but not near to kill him. I'm good in this kind of games but in this one I'm still just too newbie maybe or just need some real "training" to learn how to use the techniques, including those I just bought :c

I found YouTube videos on killing the bosses, looks pretty simple but that is with all upgrades unlocked :c

Also I have to add that all the levels I have played so far are exactly the same, just a circular arena apparently the same size, while in other games like Onechanbara Bikini Zombie Slayers there are several areas to fight since the areas go with the story of the game somehow. Why the exactly same arena for everything? :v

A final thought, remeber bosses from other games?, you know like Legend of Zelda bosses, which you can attack over and over and they just have to keep taking damage getting tired and all?, they are slow turning or walking? or at least you can know in advance what are they going to do next or something?
Well, this game makes you feel like the boss of those games, you are the one with a big disadvantage to fight, while your enemies (lots of them) are always running towards you, and attacking you.
A note here for developers: those bossed were nerfed but had a lot of health in compensation :c
So, if you can make it through the game, you are really a great player, very experienced, or you're just a very lucky one ;) ... or maybe you are just hacking XD

This is my opinion so far, I haven´t played this game for too long, but sadly I haven´t had a good experience by now :c, maybe with some more practice maybe I can give a "(n_n)b" to this one. Yet, there are things that can be improved.

I keep the game because I like this kind of games (I'm fan of Onechanbara series), and also because I got it with discount, but I don't think it is worth paying much for this still poor attemp of Onechanbara's copy.

I'll recommend it only if developers make changes on the game.

Funciona bien, escanea, encuentra drivers y los actualiza automáticamente. Lo que no me gustó es que es extremadamente lento para escanear (a éste le toma como hora y media el escaneo, cosa que a programas como DiverEasy sólo les toma 2 minutos, al menos en mi computadora con Win7 Pro), ¿o será porque es la versión gratuita o realmente es un escaneo muy a fondo?, aunque supongo que también depende del equipo con que se cuente. Lo recomiendo porque realmente encontró drivers que ningún otro software me pudo encontrar.

Tenemos aquí un juego muy parecido al AGAR.IO, podríamos decir que es un AGAR.IO mejorado. Para aquellos que no conozcan éste tipo de juegos, jugarlo es muy sencillo. Al igual que los juegos de Snake y Nibbles se trata de comer, entre más comas serás más grande, pero en vez de controlar a una serpiente el jugador controla una célula, al igual que en OSMOS o bien los primeros niveles de SPORE. El juego trata simplemente de ser lo más grande que se pueda, esto es, comer todo lo que se pueda. La regla es muy sencilla, el jugador puede comer (tomar 'masa') de casi cualquier cosa que sea más pequeña que su célula, y entre más grande se sea mas lento y pesado se vuelve el jugador, pero no es problema ya que el jugador tiene la capacidad de dividirse en células más pequeñas para hacerse más rápido y ágil. Hay un riesgo, al ser un juego multijugador masivo (de muchos jugadores) el jugador puede ser comido por otros jugadores más grandes. Pero no se está indefenso, ya que un jugador pequeño puede "romper" a un jugador grande en células pequeñas disparando 'masa' (de sí mismo) hacia los virus (bolas blancas con picos) haciéndolos golpearles. Es un juego muy entretenido (y adictivo), y vale la pena jugarlo.

Pros: Juego muy entretenido para todas las edades, fácil de aprender (con jugarlo un par de veces basta para saber de qué se trata y cómo moverse, casi ser un experto), puede ser controlado únicamente con el mouse/ratón de la computadora (salvo los power-ups)

Contras: Ocasionalmente (muy rara vez) aparece publicidad a media pantalla, las gráficas son muy sencillas a diferencia de otros similares como OSMOS y SPORE.
