well, this game doesn't automatically generate a house for you, but the freedom of building and the player-run economy makes it interesting, though I will admit there are some downsides to Eco.
Eco is the closest thing to "statville" in terms of a video game where individuals effect the outcome. You basically hop into a server with like 100 other players and create society, it got a huge update recently that overhauled government. Now you can form towns, towns can form into countries, and countries can form into larger entities like the EU.
@@petarashmalaj When you start from scratch in blender you end up with three things, a camera, a light source and a cube instead of an empty workspace. So to make things easy, you just delete everything, including the default cube, just by reaction. Then you remember "oh wait, I need an object to be able to model", so you spawn in the simplest base object, a default sized cube. To be fair, most of the time people are throwing referance images and other things into the workspace as well, or using some of the other default objects, so the reaction of deleting everything on a new file to start off isn't actually that confusing.
If anyone hasn't joined the discord yet, you definitely should. I've had so much fun on the server and being a part of this community, and have made so many new friends, especially being part of the moderation team.
As a long term resident of Statville, being here since the boom on days 156-158, I'm glad to say that I'm extremely grateful for the community. Everyone is so kind and friendly, I have made many friends within the server going all the way up to our lovely Neil! I own Wake Up Brew and I'm happy to put the work in for it that I do- although I should put more in- procrasination is a monster and finally- I'm very thankful for you Mr. Statville for this amazing city, without it I'm sure I would still feel alone, even with my non-statville friends, they have lives and I wasn't able to socialise as much as I wanted to due to not having any friends irl (ik sad) I 100% recommend joining the discord server and the community within, we'd love to have you!
YOU ARE THE PERSON BEHIND STATVILLE? Props to you man I remember following you when you were at 300 followers man. Keep up the great work because it was a lot of fun seeing the city grow each day!
this is incredible. even the animation on this video alone is some of the best ive seen on youtube and really shows you put a load of love into your projects. excited to see everything to come!
So happy to see that Statville wasnt just a one of project. It is unreal to see the city building being done by one person and to keep it up for a year, most people would had given up after a week.
This is such a great and creative idea. I love how interactive you were with everyone in your community and I can definitely tell you spent countless hours perfecting and working on this project. I are a huge inspiration to me and reminded me that you can achieve anything. Thank you
The fanbase surrounding this project has been wild. Especially the strong Discord community - one that I myself have been a part of since its release 7 months ago, and is a long-time moderator of. Many memories with people who've I encountered along the way, especially amongst the really tight Staff Team. Love this project - here's to more years with a solid, uptight community. 🥂
youtube needs to put their stuff together and recommend this video to more people!! It is such an amazing concept and the idea of bringing up a whole community from it that are equally so invested in this is truly admirable.
I think this is one of the best things, Not just on instagram but in the world. This goes to show how many people are actually willing to make the betterment for our lives, just imagine if the same people took effort into doing this in real life. It just shows that a fake city is still booming on the internet, As if it was portland or new york, or chicago. Great job and I love this concept.
This is one of the most spectacular projects I’ve heard about lately! To work on all of this singlehandedly is very impressive and aspiring! Good on you.
Here since day 157 and 58k followers. Excited to see the actual work behind the whole project! Keep it up ❤ *Edit: Also in case you wanna answer, do you do this simply as hobby? Or is it part of a larger project on statistics and visualizing it?
Really cool. A tip for lessoning workload is to make other people do the work lol, hold an architecture/layout design competition for your followers to submit buildings (with a max poly count or something) and vote on and you get 1. free labour. 2. Community engagement 3. Make people feel more invested in the project.
BRO! YOU MADE STATVILLE?! I gave entries for an airport design once, but i dont think you saw it. But this is Amazing! I love how the entire community works together in polls, and i also follow the smaller accounts for statville buisnesses!
Make it as an iOs\Android game where every account registered with instagram = new home randomly. Or if it's in apartment, spawn in a room. Player can buy a clothes, decorations, etc. The gameplay should have a button, have an ability to talk with people when nearby, can go for a walk, driving, bycling, go to the mountain, see sunset with a beautiful sky, etc. Now you already make an AAA game 😂 easy money 😂 If u don't have a team, just make it open source, so the comunity can help it to grow up. Too good to be true lol 😂
Being a moderator on Statville has been one of my favorite achievements honestly. The community is such a wholesome and friendly place! It's heartwarming to see this project really take off ❤
This is all wonderful but I’m frankly saddened that there are still no lighthouses in all of Statville. This must be remedied. The masses support this movement. I will stop at nothing to ensure that lighthouse development remain a top priority.
I dont have an insta acc but I might just make one for this, wonderful job dude! Communities pop out of the woodwork like this sometimes and its always fun to be apart of them :) Thanks for bringing these people together by sharing your art :D
Dude I saw this on Insta and I thought the idea was GENIOUS- and now seeing as that it's just one of your many ideas makes me really excited! You got my sub :D
I joined statville around the 100 day mark it was a lot of fun being apart of the early days and being able to vote on things that would make a difference. the thing i remember most about the early days was the F1 track. i remember opening up insta and being able to vote on the design of it and it was amazing. i’ve missing out on stuff with statville recently but this video definitely made me want to get back into and join more of the community! you’ve made a great thing!
Here the 19.000 statizen, more or less. When I joined the city was tiny, but just the day after it became a large city, that was crazy, and its even more crazy thinking that I'm i the top 2% taking into account that the majority of the people that joined that time, now are gone. I am so grateful for what you did, and I would like to pay my virtual rent of my virtual home to you, but I'm 15 years old and I don't have the money. Thats it, I only wanted to say THANK YOU❤❤ . (I'm a spaniard, I don't know english that good, sorry if I have some mistakes, byee)
It's incredible how easily communities arise. Most people that joined, and stayed, probably did for the friends they made through Statville. It gives you such a sense of belonging, almost as if you're actually part of this city. A nice escape compared to modern cities irl where for the most part everyone can only live for themselves
I would love to see weekly updates again, even as the community pushes lore on its own, if the process can be simplified (more than it already is) It lets us interact with the "true" city more.
I’ve loved being a part of the community! Joined over the summer a few days after the discord started and was a heavy influence in the community. Making logos for companies >>>> love everyone from the Raya Family thread
Wait what, you're the creator of STATVILLE? I was the 36th resident in the city, now it's transform into a big city. So glad that I found this video. Can't wait for the next update in the city.
Long live statville! Still happily apart of this, even though my statville roleplay account hasn't been that active. Thank you for everything, mister statville. Sincerely, The SLD (Statville Lore Dpt.)
I love Statville SO MUCH! I'm so happy I found the Instagram account, and also so glad I found your UA-cam page! Your project is one of the glittering gems of content creation I've found over the past few months, and it genuinely brings me so much joy. Keep doing great!
Ah so /you're/ the one behind this account. Been following it for a while and have been wondering how it works behind the scenes. Very clever idea! Keep going!
I remember joining and just after doing so voting for the airport, and then seeing it grow by thousands in the next week(s). It was awesome but also felt like it become too big for me, so I became disinterested. The project was and is still an awesome idea, great job.
Justice for default cube lmfao. No bur seriously... i was almost brought to tears at the discord creation part... as soon as I saw "The Tavern" with like 10 people in there - i immediately was like OMG THEYRE AT A BAR/LOUNGE JUST HANGING OUT IN STATSVILLE ;-; ...in a way... Statsville is VERY real. Thank you so much for bringing people together. Theres literally nothing better.
I am glad to be an OG statizen, (pre 1000) i have loved to see this city flourish and blossom, while i have not been an overly active statizen, i loved voting on projects from time to time.
This video came in my feed on the day it was uploaded and I immediately followed after the video, it really was cool to see one of the houses knowing it represents you
YOU WERE THE CREATOR OF STATVILLE?! this is one of the coolest thing i think i've ever seen on the internet, major props man
