I've always been holding out on reading the explorer notes / watching lore videos until the right way to experience them came along. For me, this series has become the definitive way to experience the story of the ARK. I really hope you finish the series and know that your efforts to recreate the scenes and accents are not wasted. It's art, and it's fantastic.
After Googling the voice over artist, it is no surprise that the voice acting is on point. The accent was perfect. I don't know whether this was a strictly professional undertaking, whether she's a fan or if this all fell together in some kind of happy accident but regardless this was probably your best one yet. I look forward to seeing Rockwell's and Helena's stories.
This is amazing, watching John’s perspective and then a few weeks later being able to see through Raia’s, Lots of work put into these and they all turn out awesome. Keep up the great work.❤️
I'm not going to lie, the voice acting in this was some of the best I have ever heard from an independent channel. I'm extremely impressed with your work ned and will always be eager to see anything you create, excellent job!
Holy shit dude, almost cried at the end there because of how amazing this series is. Really felt Raia's aggression toward the wyverns and her hesitation to kill their young but instead nurture them so no one can take from her ever again. Awesome content as always. I know it is going to be while before it comes but can't wait for extinction 😁
When you said it might be your best yet, I thought it was just normal hype but this is your best yet. A big thank you to the voice acting of Aixa Kay. Real emotion felt in her anguish over John's death. Keep up the great work.
Neddy you are maybe the best lore creator ever the stories are so well told with the prop's being so real i hope you can make more of your amazing work. Can't wait for this premiere
@@Alss-ry1yw No, the notes you find on each story map tells you what happened to some survivors before you. He just helps to make it easier to understand the stories.
I love ancient Egypt. When I was a boy I always played with toys of ancient Egyptians! This actually brought back vibes from that time deep inside me. I did not believe that this was possible. Thank you Ned and thank you to everyone who made the possible!
Omg the voicework is amazing! She had me in tears when Nosti fell and when John died. wonderful work and all the praise to your entire team for this wonderful work
I really hope the developers make these videos legitimate in game, they put in good work for the story writing, glad to see the production of it come to life in glorious fashion.
The story is taken from explorer notes in game, technically the developers are the ones who wrote the story, but there's little bits added into the story by neddy
They need to hire Neddie for Ark 2. Every time you pick up an explorer note it unlocks that little video clip. Then you can go into the UI and watch through the whole video in the chronological order that you've unlocked so far. The number of completions would skyrocket!
This was the hardest one to listen and watch. It's so sad to see how Scorched Earth truly brought out the worst of how thing could be on the Ark. Not only that, Raia's emotions of losing John were so professionally done that I had tears hearing her voice at the loss of her warrior.... Please keep these going as much as possible.
It's fascinating to think about how long the experiments on the arks had been going on, along with just how many civilizations had grown / fell and the nature of the deteriorating mind-states / personalities of the transhumans overseeing the arks. Some grew massive, the colosseum on SE showing that one reached at least city-state levels of power and complexity. Nosti was getting close to that state before the overseer decided "No complacency, no remorse."
@@OofstinGames Probably not, island already had modern-era paramilitary style tribes on the island and also the northern tribes to deal with. Ones not sympathetic to Nerva's New Rome idea. Thinking ye olde "Don't invade Russia in the winter" meme would apply as the tundra is always a bitter winter but yes, Nerva was doomed from the start.
SUPER mad props to your voice actress! When you got to the fall of Nosti and John's death her reading almost made me tear up :( This series is truly a labor of love for the game and it's lore and can't wait for Helena and Rockwell's
oh man i almost cried at this with raia being so sad. it really tug at my heart. really well done. poor raia, she worked so hard, all for her joys, her hard work, everything she brought forth went crumbling down. i would have believed more of the earth quakes if it was by death worms more or a less
Holy crap, this is absolutely amazing!! Between the voice acting, the cinematic shots and the music, I'm floored. The first of the survivor stories were perfect, and somehow they keep getting better. I look forward to whatever project you put out next!
Neddy, thank you so much for giving ARK's amazing story a voice. I know it's gonna be a long job, but please don't stop till you've reached the end. The community needs this, needs your work. To you and your friends who help make these, stay amazing.
Her voice acting is phenomenal! Especially at 22:18 where you can hear the pain and anger in her voice! I'm in love with the work and love you put into this series!
The story of Raia and John always has me in tears from just reading it. But gods bless your voice actors, they truly bring the deep emotion of this story to life. Thank you for making these videos, and please keep doing so for as long as there is story to tell
24:00 The eggs are organized by color in the same way that the ARK logo is: blue at the top, red on the bottom left, green on the bottom right. Nice little touch there.
That was amazing. One of the best yet. The voice acting was incredible such passion and emotion. The character seemed so alive. Cant wait for the next one. These vids just keep getting better and better 😆
I am somewhat glad I got here late, It seems like it means alot more and makes alot more sense when you can listen to all the stories back to back or at convenience. Especially for the ones that are side by side or meet together.
Again Neddy my man, you bring tears to my eyes with an amazing video. Amazing voice acting as always!! Keep up the amazing work guys!! Absolutely THE best way to feel/experience the actual story of ARK!
This series manages to convey emotions so well! I don't even believe in religion, yet even so, i felt the betrayal and hatred that Raia felt by being abandoned by her gods. I love what you're doing, this is so high quality that I'm flabbergasted that this is free, Your content is simply amazing.
This is so amazing! Ive never read the notes, just heard some basic lore(like the world scar being man made, but not why), so this series is truly eye opening. Rockwells island story is my favorite so far, seeing how he became the man he is in abberation(havent seen gen 2 yet as i havent beaten that map) and if he actually became insane or just incredibly power hungry. I truly cant wait for the rest of the notes!
This was definitely the most painful story to hear. I'm so glad Ark took time to go over a love story, as human nature is the most important thing in these tales thus it cannot be overlooked. Whoever did Raia, GOOD JOB.
Watching these I truly hope that one day Ark gets made into a worthy tv series. And the teaser for the next episode at the end was on point. Awesome work again!
Wow the group effort on these videos is amazing! I’ve been playing ark since release in 2015 and I never thought I’d end up knowing a lot of the stories in the game. Can’t say how grateful I am that you made these videos! Truly gives a different perspective when I play the game now! Keep up the amazing work I’m a big fan
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LETS GOOOOOOO BROTHER I BEEN WAITING!!!!!!! Edit: That voice actress is mindblowing wth. Crazy great job on this congrats and much love my man 🤞🤞
5:54 yes it does. Names and spelling is casting spells of empowerment or weakness or even evil. It's casting a spell that's why it's called spelling 🙃 These series are badass as well!
This was absolutely amazing and creative and I learned ark had lore!!! I'm loving this and everyone involved making this should be proud of this amazing video!! Great job!! 😍👏👏😍
You earned my sub man, never gotten into the lore of ark but through you and everyone's hard work, you all bring life to the story. It's been fun learning the stories through your videos I really hope you and the team keep up the great work!
Just amazing excellent work Ned and crew these videos just get better and Better this is one of the best story note vids yet I love Raias story I have always wanted to understand the story of scorched so thanks for helping me understand and also I hope you feeling better and out of hospital my friend can’t wait for the next vid!!!!
Just finished watching all you have done so far, truly incredible, you enact the story beautifully and the voices are perfect, I can't comprehend the time and effort that goes into these scenes, you've provided the one thing I feel Ark has been missing. Can't wait for the next chapter 👍
Just discovered you and binged all these stories and i just love them Albeit after johns i was sad as hell and just now after raias im even more sad, i cannot wait for the next ones!!
So I’ve played Ark 4 years I played PvP for a year and PVE the last 3. PvP is a blast and I play here and there but it’s so toxic! Now that I’m level 154 in PVE I started gathering all the notes to get my levels to 180. Doing this I have unlocked a whole new love for this game. #1 I have explored the map, probably the way the original developers wanted us to. #2 I thought I knew the maps and I do because finding the notes are easy since I have all the dinos and tools to do so. But the intricate details that most Ark players over see gaining max dinos breeding and competing for those stats and colors part of the game has been over looked. I have a whole new respect for this game! I completed all the explorer notes on the Island in about 4 days and have a whole new love for this OG map! I’m going to go into progression so Scorched earth is next. A map I have never really played but am actually excited for my next Ark adventure! Moving to each map and having a deeper connection with this great game! I’m so glad you did this I love the whole acting out! You guys are awesome!

It literally premiered on my birthday lol
this is gonna take a while
@@d-boi9785 noice
Ned I have a question how did you make helena walker
@@d-boi9785 happy b-day
“Wyverns stole my lover. Can’t have shit in Scorched Earth.”
- Raia, probably
XD
raia probably had the slight temptation to shoot that wyvern when it hatched
"my lover got killed, I'm now edgy oh now I'm alone again..." - raia again
I think you mean ark? doesn't matter where you are in ark you can't NOTHING in ark
😂👌🏻
Raias perspective: I am slowly mastering these firearms, I am good at them!
Dakeyas perspective: *She couldn't hit a bison ass from 5 paces*
* faces
* paces *
lol, it do be like that tho
but later on, he called her "first deadeye egyptian priestess"
I've always been holding out on reading the explorer notes / watching lore videos until the right way to experience them came along.
For me, this series has become the definitive way to experience the story of the ARK.
I really hope you finish the series and know that your efforts to recreate the scenes and accents are not wasted.
It's art, and it's fantastic.
That's very kind of you. Thanks Phoenix :)
Same! This was how I was introduced to the explorer notes, couldn't imagine just reading them now!
Same
Cant agree more!
The symetry of the wyverns eggs with the "Ark" logo is such a perfect little easter egg, I love it.
Glad you spotted it haha! ;D
It was the same colours in the right places too
I was gonna comment about it then I saw you
Easter EGG haha
More like wyvern egg
Where is this?
Somehow Raia's perspective is even more emotional, I cried, the actress was incredible!
Me too p_p
Raia’s voice makes me wanna cry too. There is so much sorrow in the way she tells her story.
It wad very sad tbh
After Googling the voice over artist, it is no surprise that the voice acting is on point. The accent was perfect. I don't know whether this was a strictly professional undertaking, whether she's a fan or if this all fell together in some kind of happy accident but regardless this was probably your best one yet. I look forward to seeing Rockwell's and Helena's stories.
Strictly a professional undertaking, though she seems to be happy to have taken part in ARK content and by extension the ARK community.
@@NeddyTheNoodle she has a perfect accent as well imo
Erm... You do know Helena and rockwell stories are already here right?
@@A1p0e1x Not for Scorched Earth they're not...
Fabulous, as always!!!!! Can’t wait for Helena and Rockwell’s Scorched notes!!!!👍🦖😀😁
Bro they’re already out
They’re notes got scorched WHAT
This is amazing, watching John’s perspective and then a few weeks later being able to see through Raia’s, Lots of work put into these and they all turn out awesome. Keep up the great work.❤️
Thank you :)
I'm not going to lie, the voice acting in this was some of the best I have ever heard from an independent channel. I'm extremely impressed with your work ned and will always be eager to see anything you create, excellent job!
Legiiiiiiit
I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but I love how at 23:54 the eggs are arranged around the campfires like the Ark logo
Holy shit dude, almost cried at the end there because of how amazing this series is. Really felt Raia's aggression toward the wyverns and her hesitation to kill their young but instead nurture them so no one can take from her ever again. Awesome content as always. I know it is going to be while before it comes but can't wait for extinction 😁
Yeah. I'd imagine its going to be hard getting someone who do a decent Vin Diesel impression.
The voice acting was magnificent. These videos are treasures for Ark players. Keep up the fantastic work and cannot wait for the next set of SE notes!
When you said it might be your best yet, I thought it was just normal hype but this is your best yet. A big thank you to the voice acting of Aixa Kay. Real emotion felt in her anguish over John's death. Keep up the great work.
i love raias voice actor my heart melts all the time when she says a word i love it

The rise of the Mother of Wyverns is a tragic story, Raia is My third favorite character she deserved better, great vídeo as always
I cant wait i already watched all of them then i seen raia and i was like: another story YESSSSSSSSSSS
Never heard of the voice actor before, but she stabbed true with the emotions on this one. Excellent job everyone involved.

the voice actress did more than an amazing job , i love this series so much!
These cannot come out fast enough. Hands down the best presentation of the lore I have come across in my thousands of hours of playing ark.
This was the best one so far, the music, the voice actor, everything, even got me emotional there for a second
Oh my god this video is so good. The voice acting, the background video, everything was perfect. Please continue with the serie, I really loved it
This video was excellent, truly art. Hearing her weeping over the death of John, shit brought me to tears, bravo to the voice actress!
The acting of this was absolutely spectacular, it brought tears to my eyes! Aixa Kay did fabulous work!
The story of Raia and John always has me in tears from just reading it. But gods bless your voice actors, they truly bring the deep emotion of this story to life. Thank you for making these videos, and please keep doing so for as long as there is story to tell
This is probably been the best one so far these newest ones I’ve really had a great quality to them!
Absolutely adore this thank you so much for doing these! Raia's story is so heart breaking they had so much before the end.
24:00 The eggs are organized by color in the same way that the ARK logo is: blue at the top, red on the bottom left, green on the bottom right. Nice little touch there.
This and the John video made me cry.
That was amazing. One of the best yet. The voice acting was incredible such passion and emotion. The character seemed so alive. Cant wait for the next one. These vids just keep getting better and better 😆

Magnificent! Such wonderful voice acting, and the buildings are just fantastic as well, overall incredibly impressive.
This is amazing and emotional work. Heartbreaking for Raia. 💔 Thank you!
Raia is the queen of her wyverns!!! Absolutely amazing!!! I started to tear up as she cried for John's death.
Neddy the hard work put into this is obvious as the video was phenomenal! Thank you for making this masterpiece.

The actress really sold the role, really enjoyed the video :)
I love the voice acting of all of the stories. Such range it’s staggering
Got emotional on that great story! Thanks for making ark live again through the explorer notes! That was very well done, again!
Well done, as a long term ARK player, im really enjoying your series.
I'm most excited about the Species notes. As I was never able to collect all of them
This is so amazing! Ive never read the notes, just heard some basic lore(like the world scar being man made, but not why), so this series is truly eye opening. Rockwells island story is my favorite so far, seeing how he became the man he is in abberation(havent seen gen 2 yet as i havent beaten that map) and if he actually became insane or just incredibly power hungry.

This was definitely the most painful story to hear. I'm so glad Ark took time to go over a love story, as human nature is the most important thing in these tales thus it cannot be overlooked. Whoever did Raia, GOOD JOB.
Ngl this was actually awesome
Massive props to EVERYONE involved, even the ones who built the small settlements in the start. Its awesome
Watching these I truly hope that one day Ark gets made into a worthy tv series. And the teaser for the next episode at the end was on point. Awesome work again!
Aixa nailed the emotion.
Never before have I seen a stone tablet engraved with someone holding a fully automatic assault rifle
HAHAHA RIGHT?!
I LAUGHAED SO HARD WHEN I SAW IT LOL
Seriously, the production value of each of these just gets better and better! Outstanding work!
Thank you :)
Raia was always my second fav character in ARK and I'm happy with the effort you put on this videos... Now I'm going to cry till the next 😭
Never expected a game like Ark to make me feel emotions but seeing John and Raias stories told in such a way.....damn
I love Raias transition from humble leader to dragon taming badass
I really cannot overemphasize how amazing work all of these are. I simply don't have the words. Beautiful work - once again!!!
The scorched earth story is definitely on the sadder side but the amount it impacts the story line is insane
Wow the group effort on these videos is amazing! I’ve been playing ark since release in 2015 and I never thought I’d end up knowing a lot of the stories in the game. Can’t say how grateful I am that you made these videos! Truly gives a different perspective when I play the game now! Keep up the amazing work I’m a big fan
Thanks :)
September 25th is what you'll want to look out for in that case! That's when we return
simply incredible, loved it, the voice actress of raia made me cry. Simply wonderful!!!
WOW! that was ur best yet! Ur bringing ark to life in a way I never thought possible! loving this so far cant wait to see what comes next!
These will never get old, I’m so excited for more!!
This was the best short film ever, great job to everyone who helped make it!
I really like these video’s of explorer notes cause there is somebody who actually somebody who fits the role of the character
Dude once again you nailed it. So much emotion. Be proud. Can't wait for the next one.
Ned your work is incredible, excellent stuff as always ♡. SUPER excited for the aberration notes especially :)
I knew the story. But I never felt like I had experienced it, until now. Congratulations on a stunning vocal performance, Aixa
Y'all didn't have to go that hard, had me in tears. Thanks for doing such a good job!
Dude these are the coolest ark videos I’ve ever seen good job!
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LETS GOOOOOOO BROTHER I BEEN WAITING!!!!!!!
Edit: That voice actress is mindblowing wth. Crazy great job on this congrats and much love my man 🤞🤞
I was not prepared for this to make me tear up! Quality voice acting!
This is so well done the editing is done really well! Good job.
The work out into the village is amazing. Great job.
Check out ChipZz - Ark Builds on UA-cam! He did a lot of it :)
@@NeddyTheNoodle Awesome. The building is one of my favorite aspects of the game.
Dude... hell yes man. I have never wanted to play the scorched earth map till now. Keep this going.

Awesome work! The voice acting was on point and the video itself is also masterclass!❤

Albeit after johns i was sad as hell and just now after raias im even more sad, i cannot wait for the next ones!!
Incredible!! So shocked hollywood has not picked this up. Could y’all imagine this in live action🤩 phenomenal work once again!
Tell raia that john is somewhere near the oblisk punching trees and running from the dire wolf
