Villages or Towns are often the places where adventure begins and ends. They play such an important role all over Fantasy that I got curious to explore the scenario in my next project.
The making of Hegelburg took me on a journey of more than a year. The complexity of making a small, yet living town proved being quite intimidating, and there were honestly moments when I feared I’d never be able to bring it to an acceptable end. I kept going however, dug deeper into Unreal Engine and brought the software (and my hardware!) to its limits. And eventually, after thousands of placed assets, hundreds of hours of work, dozens of crashes and quite a bunch of render passes of 40 hours each, I’m glad to present you the world of Hegelburg, the solitair city in the East. And while I already have ideas for a follow up project, I’m pretty certain I will come back to this map to show a new angle of it ;-)
All models, NPC’s and animations are from the UE4 marketplace, but most of the textures were modified for more photorealistic results. For the music, you may know a couple of the tracks already as being released prior to this video. Still there are more than 30 minutes of previously unpublished tracks included.
Thank you for stopping by and watching. If you like what I do, you can support me on Bandcamp and Patreon (links in the description), or just spread the word and share the video in your community. It all helps a lot!
Cheers!
ASKII
what is the next ambience ? For 2020 ? on whats themes ? please
Nature/ Exploration. But it's still quite a bit down the road I'm afraid.
I have narcolepsy and haven’t been able to take my meds do to personal reasons. I have a lot of sleep issues. But, man, this shit does it for me. I put this on every night as I fall asleep. It has improved my life dramatically. Thank you.
It's True masterpiece for me
@@gbeach85 So glad to read it's helping you! :) I've been working on "Hegelburg at Night" for quite a while now. Can't say yet when it will be done (this year), but it's exploring the super relaxed side of the scenario and should work for sleeping as well I hope :) Cheers!
you are extremely underrated and I must have re-watched this whole video at least 50 times already! visually and audibly beautiful and hope you continue to create stuff like this because your work stands out from others I have seen!
Thank you, Leyla, much appreciated! More is on its way, just takes a while to make these :) Cheers!
I'm a simple woman. I see a new ASKII video, I click like
Thanks! 😄
at 49:58 when ye' olde beat drops and the boys are yellin' HEY
We love exploring Hegelburg.
That's awesome, thank you! :)
Fantastic. This has swiftly become my favorite ambient soundtrack. I listen to it daily and find myself more drawn to Hegelburg after each listen. It's easy to listen to and really calms the mind, makes one dream. Also it keep things fresh with its very fitting and diverse tunes. Great in so many scenarios but this track is the new god of my medieval themed boardgame sessions.
I applaud the creator for his immensely hard work. Thank you so much for making this freely available for all to hear. Thank you so much. ❤
So glad to read that, thank you! :)
Absolutely stunning. Proud of you for finishing this.
Thanks man, also for believing in me to get this monster done :D
This is amazing! Thank you for a wonderful journey🍺🗡
Thanks for the comment, glad you like it! :)
Not only is the track good but your 3D environment elevate the whole thing. I'm a 3D environment artist and I can tell this must have take you a while to build up, especially if you're alone
Anyways, keep up the good work!
Took me more than a year :) Thank you for the comment!
I keep coming back to this. It is so amazing!
That's awesome, thanks! :)
Really beautiful music. I've been working in the library a lot recently and this is such a game changer to help me concentrate.
I especially like the fart at 59:21 👌
According to the SFX meta it’s a snort, well heard regardless! 😄 Glad you like the music. Cheers!
I can't believe how beautiful this album is and how much effort you put into this work... Incredible! Thank you so much for this! I hope that more people will be clicking on links and purchasing your music. This is incredibly beautiful! My deep bow to you.
It really means a lot to read that you like the aestetics of the album, thank you so much! Also for the Spotify playlist entries, by the way. =)
@@askiimusic Ah, don't even mention it :) Every little bit helps. There is nothing better than supporting your fellow artists ;)
Absolutely stunning work! You deserve so much more recognition for possessing such a fantastic talent of not only bringing these realistic and fitting soundtracks to us but also for making such unfathomably amazing scenarios that just make you stay and watch the whole thing over and over again. Thank you.
Thank you very much! Means a lot to read that. Things take time to grow, but I see constant progress which is just amazing :) I'm working on finalizing the Night version of Hegelburg at the moment and have many more ideas of visual projects to come. Cheers!
I’m currently reading the Wheel of Time, and your music really helps me immerse myself in the world Robert Jordan created. Thank you!
That's awesome, glad you like it! Thank you, Joshua 😊
ohhhhhhhhhhh THIS IS SOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL A FANTASY TOWN MEDIEVAL FROM YOU WITH A GERMAN CULTURE in this video. I know that you are german. :D
Yeah it took a while, but here we are at last :)
The title "Hegelburg" is German from the words. The second reference is the crest on the plaza tower, which indeed was used by the Guild of Compositors and Typographers in the time of the Holy Roman Empire.
I've been playing 2 youtube videos to write my thesis, one with music and one with ambience, as the balance of the sounds is off on most of the combined mixes. This is so much better, the volume and quality of the ambience and music is so unbelievably perfect. I even put the video on the big screen so I can see the town as I work. Thank you for this godsend. ❤
Thank you so much! I have put a lot of care on balancing the audio properly, so I'm glad to read it worked :)
This is absolutely amazing, as good as Jeremy Soule's compositions, fantastic work :)
I'm so glad I managed to buy a copy of this on tape, can't wait for it to arrive :)
Makes me happy to read such great feedback, thank you so much! :) Also for getting the tape, appreciate the support!
Majestic... 🌹
I just stumbled into your world my friend and i am simply amazed. You are truly talented and show love and dedication in your work, as you transfer us into a journey we never forget. Breath taking visuals and audios for the senses. Memories of skyrim and the witcher among other amazing games come to mind. A sense of peace and beauty surround me as I stroll through your fantastic scenery. I could easily shake your hand and thank you, but that would be an understatement. Carry on my friend with your amazing work carry on.
Thank you so much for this grandios feedback, that really means a lot! A lot of time and effort went into it, but at the same time it has been so rewarding creating that world. I will make more of these (a few more are on my channel already) once I'm done with my current soundtrack project this year :) Cheers!
This is unreal, awesome work. We need so much more of this!!
I'm working on more content, just takes time :)
What you have done is amazing! Love it!
Thank you very much! :)
Потрясающе! Моя мечта была тоже сделать подобное. Напомнило любимый Скайрим,который я гонял годами с разными украшающими модами. Спасибо.
Amazing stuff! Really beautifully done, both musically and visually.
Thank you very much, Artur! :)
This is fantastic.
Thank you!! 😊
This is delightful
Thank you very much!
Beautiful!
Thanks! =)
Thank you for making this. It is sooo relaxing. Takes your mind away and such a beautiful match to the music. You are a magician!
Thank you very much! :)
Thank you for this beautiful world!
Thank you too, glad you like it!
This is Art.
Thank you 😊
Excellent! Atmospheric! Need more such fantasy mixes.
Thank you very much! :) There are two more on my channel, and working on more.
Absolutely stunning.
Thank you! :)
This is amazing music I could listen to this over and over again along with the many others soundtracks you have made. Keep up the great work . Simply flawless
Thank you! Much appreciated!
This is top tier! Man, I amazed, spechless... 11/10 Its just too good
Thank you so much, appreciate it! :)
I always wanted to find a video like this!! Thank you so, so much for making it, is wonderful, you deserve more views ♥♥
Thanks for the comment, appreciate it! :)
So I basically never comment on anything but I had to say that this is incredible and extremely well done. I've had this up in the background for hours as I work on my new D&D setting, and it's helped me focus a lot. Your work is seriously impressive.
Thank you so much! :) It's always the greatest feedback when my work can inspire others. Means a lot to me!
This is perfect to study to!! congrats on such an immersive sound
Thank you so much!
Schöne Arbeit,
freut mich dass du nach wie vor Musik machst :)
Vielen Dank! Wird auch weitergehen :)
It's like a dream......a beautiful fly into a magic world. Congrats my friend, you're awesome!!!!
Thank you so much! :)
Wow this is beautiful. So glad I found your channel
Thank you very much! 🙂
Wow great stuff man
Thank you very much!
This is incredible. This needs to be the top video for any kind of search regarding fantasy music or visuals. Thank you for your hard work Askii :)
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I need more Hegelburg walkthroughs! This is great work!
Thank you very much! There's one more walkthrough on my channel (Hegelburg at Night) and quite a few videos with still camera settings :-)
Thank you for creating this masterpiece!!! This video is helping me through an extremely difficult time, and I almost feel like I would love to be in that village. We really need more beautiful creations like this especially during this challenging time in history. I hope you create more village experiences such as this one. Bravo!!!
Thank you so much for your comment! Glad to read the video is helping you. I'm working on more content. The next video which is getting close to finish may be a bit darker, but the following will be relaxing for sure. It just takes time to make these. Cheers!
wow!your work is fantastic.i just hope youu will do some ore of those vids,thanks!
Thank you very much! Working on a Night version of Hegelburg right now, and I have ideas for many more scenarios as well. Just takes a lot of time to create these. Cheers!
Well done! Love watching, love listening, I think my favorite one is The Hellion Tavern. I had it on repeat while running errands today! Keep it up mate.
Thank you very much for the positive feedback, I appreciate that! 😊
amaizing sound .... tnks bro
Thanks for listening!
This is so going to my medieval-towns/villages playlist for writing!
Glad it inspires you! :)
Dein Kanal ist ein wahrer Diamant, ich bin unglaublich froh darüber gestolpert zu sein! Die Musik, das Video, die Animationen... einfach alles ist perfekt und so harmonisch und entspannend :) Was für ein unglaubliches Talent! Ich freue mich sehr dich ab sofort ein wenig zu unterstützen und bin sehr gespannt welche großartigen Werke du noch hervorzaubern wirst! Von Herzen viel Glück und viele Grüße von einem großen Fan aus Deutschland :)
Riesen Dank für dein tolles Feedback und deinen Support auf Patreon! Das bedeutet mir wirklich viel. Ich schicke dir heute Abend noch deinen Bandcamp Discount Code und freue mich, dich an Board begrüßen zu können :) VG!
The town is beautiful, the ambience is relaxing, and the music is just.......perfection.
Subscribed.
Thank you very much, appreciate it! :)
Absolutely magnificant, well done man. The wolrd you built looks great and I massively enjoy your music, it's great to listen to while doing my own medieval modeling. Honestly great work with your music, it really is spot on.
Thanks a lot! :) The best feedback for me always is reading that my work managed to inspire others, really means a lot!
That's so awesome and inspiring mate. Well done😍👌
Thank you Martin! :)
16:58 Mad lad sitting on the roof. I love all these little details.
Thank you very much!
I was looking around UA-cam for an immersive DND ambience to play while my family and I play Pathfinder campaigns. THIS is what I was looking for. Love the clarity of both the picture and the audio. I play it on my surround sound system and get lost. Your work speaks for itself and has been helping us manage the social distancing due to the Pandemic because we can use our imaginations and escape just for a moment...
Thank you so much for your comment! Immersion was exactly what I was trying to achieve, so I'm glad to read it worked for you :)
This is absolutely amazing. The music and the walk through. I'm totally emerges in this. I feel like I'm playing morrowind all over again
Glad you like it! :) Thank you
Who would have imagined I'd be so drawn in when I can still recall my frustration at a similar pace in Morrowind.
Seriously though, unbelievable work, these videos are so pleasant to watch.
Glad you like them, thanks!
10:53, such whimsical music. Subtle, clean. Great job. This entire playlist is quite the masterpiece.
Glad to read that, thank you very much! :)
Я этот шедевр прослушиваю и просматриваю временами. Вот опять потянуло. Жду такую же гиганскую работу опять.
Wow this is brilliant work!! Didn't know you also made the video. Great job!
Thank you! :) The video took more time than the music actually, but it was fun. Cheers!
This is amazing
Thank you very much! 🙂
Dude, City of Emperors is SOOO GOOOD! You are incredibly talented man, I've been listening to this just so much recently. Can't wait for more!
Thank you very much! :)
City of Emperor's build up is epic. Such high quality music. This guy should be writing soundtracks for billion dollar game companies.
the detail put into this is so so worth all your effort! I'm digging every minute. a gorgeous, living piece of art. I really love how it starts over on the outskirts with the grassy trodden paths. reminds me of camp grounds. what is it like having a new sandbox after being in this one for so long? what kind of world do you want to make next?
Thank you so much! Opening a new project after Hegelburg was actually quite intimidating. Currently working on a world with snow and ice. There are some exciting ideas, hope that everything will work like I imagine.
I found this video because of Geytkeypur and man this is amazing! The work and detail in this video is just wow. I literally thought this was a video game and went googling trying to find it! I love to DM and will be using all of your music now for the next ark my players will be jumping into for our campaign. I can't wait to use this track to throw them into the borderlands between the Hakarian Dynasty and the Konungir Empire. This is perfect for feeling like I am in a bustling village that is civilized yet has nature all around in a rustic way!
Glad you can use it in your campaign! 🙂
Thank you for the work you do for us. You are extremely talented. Bethesda should learn a lot from this video.
Thank you for watching! :)
Bro loving your new album so much! So much ARCTIC/Northern feels :)
Glad you enjoy it! :)
@@askiimusic I do, truly. I put on all of your music while writing my medieval/zombie/fantasy novel and it just lights my imagination on fire!
Man, I got the exact Jeremy Soule's vibes from your music. Idk if that's your goal, but for me you are an AMAZING discovery. Thank you and keep it up !!
The Elder Scrolls soundtracks have been an inspiration for sure! Glad you like it! :)
Truly love it ! I personnaly use it for the writing of my book, hearing this music just feels so good. Thanks a lot for your work, I do hope you'll keep doing this
Glad you enjoy it! That's always the best kind of feedback to know that my work can inspire further. Thank you! I'll keep making this kind of content, though it takes a lot of time to finish one. But I just released a new journey if you want to have a look. :-) Cheers!
@@askiimusic Believe me, I totally see what you mean by that ;) We artists always need some encouragements and the knowledge that our work is appreciated to his true value. I feel the same for my book
So know that : your videos are brilliants and the music is beautiful. I've also listened the one with the dungeon beneath the prison like 4-5 times as ambiance sound for the writing of one of my chapters, I've never found better 👌
This video just prevented a panic attack. Thank you
Glad you are feeling better! :)
It helps me a lot to write :)
That's awesome! :) What story are you writing?
Fantastisch sehr schön und sehr gute Videos. Möchte gerne mehr davon sehen. Danke 😊 😇 😊
Mehr ist in Arbeit :)
Freue mich auf neue Videos von Ihnen, danke.
🥰😍❤
This is very cool! :)
Thank you very much!
ASKII I must say that this was very interesting video and music.. I'm telling you this because I'm big fan of medieval age and it's people who lived before us.
Keep up the good work, and thank you for this.
Very very good job well done and I wish you all the best 😉👋
Glad you enjoyed it! :) Thank you very much!
This much work and dedication deserves a lot more than 2600 views :'/
So far the UA-cam algorithm has not kicked in yet, hope it happens eventually. Sharing this video wherever it fits would help a lot! :) Thanks for the comment!
And I have to complete my comment: the music is absolutely gorgeous
Thank you so much, Emil, I'm glad you like it!
This work is mournably underrated.. please I have subscribed, liked and will purchase what I can to support you. Using this in my next dnd session, it's perfect. 💘💝🖒
Thank you very much, I appreciate that! :) Every bit of support certainly helps me a lot! Enjoy your DnD session :-)
Very clear elder scrolls/Jeremy Soule influences here, but that's great! Amazing work!
Ah, one name has Cyrodiil in the title, excuse me
Thank you very much! :) "Beacon of Cyrodiil" is one track that was composed for the Morrowind mod "Tamriel Rebuilt", region of New Ebonheart, thus the title. Just put it on here as well.
Спасибо большое за интересное видио. Хорошо бы ещё и внутри комнаты посмотреть!
Thank you very much! 🙂
this music is perfect, if i had a budget i'd hire for custom music for my own world building project.
Thank you! :) For now you can use my existing music if you put a credit note.
Found out about your channel because of tamriel rebuilt. Your music is awesome.
Thank you very much! Always glad to read such positive feedback. Cheers!
Wow, this is FANTASTIC! This could easily be turned into a GPU benchmark lol... Kinda reminds me of Black Desert
Brought my GPU to the limits for sure :D Thank you for the comment! Much appreciated.
I just wanted to let you know that I used your song "Harvest" in a music compilation video I made for the harvest festival Lughnasadh. The song fits perfectly, for obvious reasons:) I credit you and link to your bandcamp and website as you asked. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for using it, much appreciated! 😊
Impressive. As in the "Obscura", the atmosphere is fantastic. You have used the power of this engine very well. May i ask you, why you do not use your talent to produce a game?
Thank you very much! :)
Every now and then I'm asking myself the same question. Still, I'm fully aware of the enormous complexity of making a whole game on such a level and it would need an entire team for sure. I also want to keep music as the main priority with the goal of making a living with it one day. That requires focus. Though, never say never, maybe one day :)
@@askiimusic and programming lol, i am a game dev so ya.
I'm going to add to the list of kudos. This is fantastic. I have been looking for some atmospheric music that will set the tone for the RPG campaign that I'm running. I want to create a feeling without it being too intrusive and you sir have hit the mark. Well done. I will spread the word and look forward to buying the tracks on bandcamp so I can use them in other formats.
So glad to read this! Wanted to make it as immersive as possible, also with the idea in mind of it being used in RPG sessions. Thank you for your comment! Much appreciated 😊
@@askiimusic I tested it out over the weekend and it worked really well. I was taking some new players through the game and they were blown away by the addition of a musical environment.
@@potterbugs That's awesome! :) I will make more of those in the future.
I can hear the elder scrolls influence in your heart in this mix ^_^
I played this game so much that it's hard not to have the influence in my music :D
I like this quite a bit. A gentle caution : 22:24 to 22:50 sounded so much like the Harry Potter theme that I wouldn't be surprised if the corporate types went after this
Interesting, didn't notice in three years. But I had a closer look: The beginning of the sequence aligns for a few notes, but I'm certain it's not enough to make a case out of it. There are only so many ways you can arrange a melody, so whatever you compose, you'll always sound closely similar to something that already exists. Apart from the few notes aligning, too much is entirely different. Thanks for the heads up, though!
Just found you from Blue Turtle. Wow! Subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you! :)
Really cool video, I’d love to see a game like this with talking characters. It gave me nostalgia flashbacks of morrowind. Your channel is sorely underrated. I hope you get the recognition you deserve
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@askiimusic just curious, how do you get the vocals for your music?
@@rabadooda For Hegelburg all vocals are from sample libraries. They feature scripts that allow to play selected syllables or Aah Legato lines in a quite realistic way. I've also worked with vocalists in the past, though. One of my older releases for example, Tie EP, was a collaboration with Finnish vocalist Amanda Aalto.
@@askiimusic that’s cool how you can use samples like that, it sounds really authentic. You ever thought about doing a fantasy tavern music compilation/animation? I love folk/bard songs :) might be a bit difficult though
@@rabadooda My album Hegelburg at Dusk is loosely heading in that direction. Also, check The Feathered Horn. No vocals, though.
Thank you so much for all your hard work. Your Unreal Engine videos are always my favorites. Are you planning on doing another one?
Sure! As I have this huge map built already, I want to capture a few different angles on dusk or night along with new music. I'm also already gathering ideas for the next map, which may be about exploration out in the wild. I think I was posting about this on my Patreon recently =) Thank you for your comment!
@@askiimusic I wish this were an actual game. I'd love to just wander around in this world for a while and listen to the music. (Ditto for your Obscura video)
A few people where voicing that already. I'm afraid there are no real plans for that just yet, but maybe on some point in the future.
Absolutely love this!!!!!
I watch it over and over!
Any way to get a map to follow along or for D&D setting???
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it! I posted several outdoor maps of Hegelburg on my Patreon just yesterday! 😀 If you are interested: patreon.com/askiimusic
@@askiimusic you are one of the good ones!!! ;-)
Thank you for your support, I appreciate that! :)
now this is perfect for multiplayer minecraft
Thank you very much!
WHat ?! You created a full 3D environment + 1hour of music yourself ? for free ?! What are you ? A god ?!
More like a dude who wants to make too many things at once ;D
Intrigued by the depth? There's a book I'd suggest that plumbs similar depths. "Galaxies United" by Olivia Whitestone
Sounds interesting, may have a look at some point. Thanks!
It's very easy to get lost in this video. The music and the town complement each other. Have you worked with UE5?
Thank you! Up to know I have worked with UE4 only, but I'm very excited to get my hands on UE5!
👍👍👍👏😀
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩👌👌👌
ASKII hey, what are your next ambience fantasy 1 hour ? for this year 2020
Next up is "Hegelburg at Night", coming around September. Not quite 1 hour, but moving camera and the full experience. After that I want to focus on overworld exploration. There are several scenarios I would like to cover in distinct projects with own albums and visuals, still trying to figure out how to approach it exactly. Most likely it won't happen in 2020, though. We'll see ;-)
47:00 How did you create these chants? I guess it must be sampled. I do wonder if it's possible to create such chants digitally.
It is sampled, but playable through scripting. The library is 8dio Insolidus
Any chance of a repress of the cassette release? Or better yet, a 3 tape box of the trilogy!
I'm afraid there won't be more of the main "Hegelburg" tapes. There are still tapes available for "Hegelburg at Night", though, check out Dungeons Deep Records' Bandcamp for more info :) There are also some chances that we make a 3 CD Hegelburg Digipak happen. Can't promise things yet, but I'll share updates as soon as we progress with it!
is this a game and if it is what's the name it looks amazing
Glad you like it! It's a scene I built in Unreal Engine to have footage to score music to.
where are the videos from - is that a gameworld server you captured?
I built this myself in Unreal Engine with marketplace assets :-)
@@askiimusic awesome !
Native: "So, this is the town I live in. What do you think of it?"
Me: "I think it is made of a lot of thatch and wood."
Native: "Yes. That is a good thing isn't it? Renewable material."
Me: "But don't you know?"
Native: "Yes? What do I possibly know?"
Me: "Buildings made of thatch and wood attract...."
Native: "Yes? What do they attract?"
Me: "Red dragons!"
Native: "Oh no! We can't let those big flying bullies come over here. What do we do?"
Me: "Not to worry! In a single day I can get you enough good quality stone to upgrade. For a price."
Native: "Thank you good sir! Thank you!"
Does the name of the town have anything to do with GWF Hegel? Or is it just a coincidence?
That's coincidence. The backstory about the name Hegelburg is that it is actually a misheard word from the lyrics of a Corvus Corax track, "Sverker" I think. They sing something else entirely, but I thought it would fit to that project as it wasn't associated with anything, neither a real place nor fiction. When searching I noticed that Hegel is a nobility family name, but Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel I just discovered now :)
