Hey! It's been awhile (video wise) and I'd like to update you all on what's been going on. Recently I've been working on my 4 day "Mall Civilization" video and it's planned to be at least 3 hours long in total to follow some recent trends on youtube.
I'm currently about 30% through day 1 out of 4 it and it's already 25 minutes long - what I learned from my @Harvest0 channel 1 day mall civ (that was supposed to be lower quality/easier to make but still hit 1.5 million views, thank you <3) is that cramping 100 players in such a small space leads to soooo much content. And with that one being an hour long and only one day, this one is looking like it'll be easy to make it at least 3 hours long because it was a 4 day long civilization.
The hardest part about all of this though is kind of the expectations that I've set for myself with the rebuild video - trying to match the quality standard that one hit is kind of pretty hard, especially over a 3 hour long period. I do have a few familiar aspects that I'll be bringing back like motifs for certain groups/themes in the video (search what a motif is if you don't know, but an ex. is the cult clan having a 'theme' of viking/celtic ritual music), the cork board edits, 3d animations, map edits, etc. I do also have a few new aspects that I think will push the bar even higher when it comes to 3d animations - you'll have to wait until you see the video for that.
But yeah that's basically the update I have for now, we have 2 more videos (ship and island civilization) being worked on by editors for my @Harvest0 channel that are aiming to be posted in November for sure, and this mall civilization is looking like it can be out end of November but I'm not going to rush it if it needs more time. If you read all the way down to here thank you so much and I promise this next video will be the best civilization I've made yet.
I just uploaded a new civilization video on my second channel! It's the start of me editing the streams I do on this channel so go check it out if you liked the 'rebuild civilization' video that I did!
I've been trying to come up with other ideas for 100 player videos that have the same character moments and emotion and all that, so I have 5 to choose from - please choose the one that would be most interesting to you. And here's a description of each of them:
100 Players Simulate Mall Civilization in Project Zomboid - All of the players are cramped in the project zomboid mall and try to survive without being able to leave the mall, having to clear it out of zombies and survive possible hordes.
100 Players Survive 100 Days in Project Zomboid - Instead of 100 players surviving for ~16 irl hours like in my last video, they'd have to survive for 100 irl hours or 50 irl hours (depending on if in-game-days are set to 1 hour or 30 min). This would be a massive project and would probably take weeks to film but I think this would be super interesting.
100 Players Survive Nuclear Winter in Project Zomboid - Since in the last event the players had no real challenge when it came to zombies, this time they'd have to survive nuclear winter - which would be radiation filled and also super cold.
100 Players Simulate Last of Us Civilization in Project Zomboid - Taking from the game/tv show the players would be facing the cordyceps fungus infected zombies, and would possibly be split into 50 players inside a quarantine zone that is pre-established, and 50 players outside of it.
100 Players Simulate Vault Civilization in Project Zomboid - Very similar to the fallout TV show, players would be split up into two vaults, each with their own experiment. They would eventually be able to leave the vaults and travel out into the fallout-themed wasteland. I already have a map made for this one but I'm putting it on here to gauge how interesting this is compared to the others.
1 million views in just under 10 days is absolutely insane to me, thank you all so much for the support in the comments and in my discord (and also for the ~15k subs I gained in the past week that's actually crazy). I'm really starting to feel the pressure on somehow trying to top this with another 100 player event so please be patient on me hosting another one/posting another video on one because I really need to cook lmao.
But yeah, just wanted to mention to definitely expect more videos in this format in the future, and that I appreciate you all ❤️
Hey I just wanted to give a little update with the future videos on this channel,
I've been thinking a lot about how this channel started with an absurdly big video (that I thank you all for) with a format that I've been trying to replicate since then, and while it's been working it's really just not what I want to make.
It really boils down to the videos not having any characters, emotion, or story that'd you remember, and after I put my soul into that 50 hour video it's all that I've wanted to make since.
So for the rest of the year I'm going to try and lean away from the more linear format, and trying to make videos that make you actually feel or remember something- and for any videos that are more linear I'll try to live by the 'quality over quantity' motto and keep them to a minimum or add animations to them.
Thanks to anyone who read this whole thing, and you'll be seeing my first 100 days video in Project Russia very soon (with the most amount of 3d animations I've done in a video yet)!
I'm hosting my first 100 player one-life event for project zomboid in my new server discord and I need you guys to apply and play! If you want to apply to be in the event/possibly the video- join this discord: discord.gg/projectaftermath
All the details for the event are in #announcements, here's a little summary below, good luck!
100 players are split up into four separate groups, spawning in each of the four starting towns. Throughout this event they will try to “rebuild” civilization by any method that they choose (anarchy, diplomacy, governments, etc.). Each player will only have one life, with no way to respawn after they die. The goal of this event is to create good content through good interactions, character arcs, etc. without being hands on and letting this be more of a social-experiment than anything.
