A Whole New World - Blog Post
No we aren't cosplaying Aladin, although that would be funny.
It's been a while since I've had something to report on, but I'm finally able to talk about some of the changes I've been trying to make!
As most can probably tell, Sea of Thieves continues to go down a rough path of developmental issues as well as lack of content diversity. Guild Wars is still a series I would like to continue, but with the game being unable function properly in large-scale encoutners, we have put it on hold for the time being. However, the story that is unfolding is directly linked to my character's backstory and will be a launching pad for my next chapter of the story.
I have started a new Minecraft Channel that will be focused on telling cinematic and comedic stories within universes created by me and my staff team.
The pitch concept for this Video Series is as follows. (Subject to changes)
Video Concept: Becoming Minecraft’s ULTIMATE Beast Hunter
Exo and a band of fantasy Beast Hunters set out to slay a list of monsters and mythical creatures before other hunters can in order to claim a large bounty. They will have to survive the harsh medieval world within a light roleplay setting and keep eachother alive while exploring a part pre-built, part randomly generated map that has surprises around every turn. As the adventurers explore, they will have to craft gear, loot dungeons, and trade with NPCs in order to upgrade their weapons and tools.
This will be a long YouTube series that will either be made into separate episodes or 1 long movie. Episodes will be given a main goal/plot point, while allowing creators to stray from the path, claim side quests, develop their character, and alter the story as it plays out. Think D&D without the dice!
As a creator, it's important to grow and learn new ways of how to create. This doesnt mean I am stopping Sea of Thieves entirely, but I will be focusing on more intersting topics until I find a new foothold with new videos and streams. I want to continue giving my audeince a cinematic athentic viewing exeperience. Some changes my include not using a facecam for certain streams/videos when RPing.
That being said, in order to invest into these large scale projects, I may have to go get another job in order to be able hire more help to aid the storytelling process. This isn't something I am super hyped about, since I literally just made it fulltime, but life can be like that sometimes lol! I am trying to give it till the end of the year to see what I can acomplish before I start job searching.
Construction on the house is going to continue at a slower pace, but still happening none the less. If I seem less active, it's because I am either working on this project, helping with construction, or trying to take time away to stay sane.
I have some merch on the way to help support the new dive into cinematic storytelling, and any donations on Twitch or here on Fourthwall will be going towards staying fulltime and investing into telling bigger and better stories in Sea of Thieves and Minecraft. (until Hytale comes out that is!)
Thank you all for the support, I will post some teasers of the modpack in a later post! If you have questions leave a comment here!
