New video! Something a bit different today, but you might see some familiar faces from 1 For All 😉 Huge thanks to AFK Arena for commissioning this short film! It helped support our whole team during these uncertain times, and we're really happy with the results. Would be fun to do another one sometime!

They do indeed seam on the advertising rise lately. IDK about mobile gamers (which is their audience afterall) since they seams to crave that shit, but to me the "AFK" part sounds very off putting as a game title, surely AFKing is the most fun game feature ever "invented" >_>

[@robertwilson7532]

Great job, Deerstalker, building the universe of characters, hoping your original characters appear more in future productions too. New villain has interesting character potential too. (Assuming all weren't one-offs for the ad). There are games, which technology is definitely reducing the gap between Cinematics and "Actual gameplay", and there's LARP & Cosplay. More tech, AR & VR and wider communities of shared interest help both ends of that spectrum to be more immersive and more fun. Afk Arena game looks worth a look too. GL, HF, and have funs :)

[@HeruWilliams]

I feel like most of the people are focusing too much on the fact it’s a sponsorship not the fact that so much love and care went into this nowadays this masterpiece would be a KZbin short. But the way the attacks are all like the game the acting is on point that the armor looks actually sturdy unlike what marvel or dc has been making currently. They did so well at making the props look like formidable magic tools that the hero’s we know wield. I love the fact that it’s a team of 5 hero’s not to many not to little. It was perfect everyone did their homework and I respect that so much youtube is not like this nowadays. You don’t get the same passion the same quality anymore now all we have are reaction videos from people who are boring to watch and red pill this blue pill that oodles and oodles of drama for no reason. Feminists, incels, I just wish we could go back to a time like this KZbin video where passionate people were respected for their work you guys deserve wayyy more subscribers and views than you actually have you guys blow Corridor digital out of the water with how you can make memorable characters that have unique personalities and have no shame in doing it. 😅 sorry for the long tangent but I don’t know else I can convey my emotions and thoughts. ❤

[@deerstalkerpictures]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! We try so hard and we’re glad someone appreciates the effort we put in! Honestly the algorithm makes KZbin the wrong platform for making any creative work because it’s more about quantity not quality.
