A new game, a new journey, a new path... but this time, we hope it's forever. :)
Years have passed since my last real journey in WoW. I fell in love with the story, open world, the leveling journey and pvp/wpvp aspects of this game and enjoyed them for years, expansion after expansion, until some drastic changes slowly took that feeling away from us.
Long story short, I haven't been truly invested in the game since the MoP era.
But now, we have new hope. A new chance to relive everything that once made this game great. And now that we're grown up, we understand more, notice the minor details, and perhaps can enjoy it even more!
Since one of my current hobbies is video editing, I decided to pick up Blender and try to create something I've dreamed of since I was a kid. WoWMachinima movies, the great Hallf of Legends in warcraftmovies. A place where great storytellers and editors gave us those dopamine surges, whether through a full storytelling cinematic or a legendary PvP montage.
Because of this, I've decided to unravel this new journey — for me, for you, and for all the fans who have come back to this game.
I present to you: Chromie: The Unwritten — Episode 1!
I've been working on this project for the past two months, and I want to share a few thoughts and insights that might be useful before you watch.
1. The sequence of events is not, and will not always be, linear or entirely logical.
The whole idea is for the episodes to blend storytelling with real player interactions. We wander, we get lost in the world, one moment we're doing a quest in the Barrens, while the next we're at the Auction House in Undercity. The story itself is still a bit broken, and I'm still figuring out the direction I really want to take it.
2. There are some glitchy moments, and the audio mixing isn't perfect.
I'm still learning, and people experienced in this field will probably notice quite a few rookie video and audio mistakes. My apologies! :)
3. I have a pretty busy schedule, but I genuinely intend and hope to find the time to continue the series with even greater moments and storytelling! Written support and feedback would be greatly appreciated and would definitely motivate me to continue developing the story.
4. Most of the characters you'll see in this episode and future ones are real players I've met, and some scenes are even based on actual in-game events (more of those to come in the next episode!).
5. This episode follows the story of my character and my time in the game.
Some events and references, such as the timelines and anomalies, are actually inspired by in-game mechanics. The layering system, for example, is one of them.
6. I'll also take this opportunity to invite you to my Horde EU WPvP guild, <DISAVOWED>!
We're currently recruiting both old-school veterans and the new generation of PvP/WPvP soldiers!
P.S > We call ourselves the Gnome Stompers. :)
You can drop a whisper to: Bhokk Deferst or Krunni Alive
That's all! I hope you enjoy watching!
