There was a cool detail about this I didn't realize. When Raph was staring into nothing.....I realized the way he was looking. kind of looked familiar. (Raph was getting shell shock)
centaura is such a good game, mainly for the reason that you aren't important. you are just a cog in the murder machine that is war, with only one saying: "only the dead have seen the end of war." it has such a deep message, it makes you feel like you're actually participating in a war against 2 countries. the death counter at the end of every mission really makes you reflect on what just happened, because those massive death tolls are real things. thousands and even millions are killed in war and this game represents that perfectly with how easy it is to get mowed down, burnt alive, or just plain stabbed to death. because that's how it happens, you could be alive and the next second you aren't.
Another thing that I really like is how realistic it is when it comes to squad sized battles, there are few troops that are the most combat effective while others are less so, taking cover and such.
All of this, and the environment, thousands of gunshots, endless artillery volleys, men screaming. Seeing fellow soldiers turn into fine colored rain the moment an artillery shell hits. One instantly dies as a punishment for peeking too much. Epic Advancements with men screaming right after the officer blows their whistle. There has been NO game that made me feel like im in a real war, made me feel like a hopeless traumatized soldier in the midst of a hell
I like how, at the end, after they all die. There's no solemn message, there's no speech, there's no victory or defeat. There's just the piano, and the uncomfortable silence. The cost of what has happened. No one is going over to joke about nicknames, no regular is coming back to that table for Tiffany. No young adult is going to sit on that dock. It doesn't need words, or even powerful music. People with their own mistakes, habits, impressions upon this world, now quantified to nothing more than a number on a toll. And for the time they did fight, they had to endure something no man, woman or child could truly comprehend. Instead of laughing over that table that brought joy, ordering that coffee that alone brought comfort, sitting on that dock that brought tranquility. There's nothing. And their abscence, makes everything. Feel. Empty. Brilliantly done. This is why I subscribed.
I was ok up until the mother in the end started mourning her dead son. Her… voice was so haunting. Some of the realist shit I’ve heard in a while. Idk who voiced her but it nearly brought me to tears.
never have I ever seen such a beautifully produced video about the horrors of war and the reality of being in one in a goddamn roblox game. (not really but it feels like it) this feels like a movie, even though it’s just 11 minutes, it establishes a full story within just that time. sometimes I can’t even tell if there’s a script or not, it all feels so real like they’re actual people talking, and man it’s fucking phenomenal. now this is what I subscribed for, THIS right here. good job ratskewer
This hit me in the gut a little bit, as I am just about done with my OSUT training for the US Army. Never thought I would be able to do it, but I am here and I know what I got myself into. I am a 12b and am well aware if the US were to ever get into war, I'm going to most likely be one of the first to die, whether it's in a combat gunfight or mishap explosives. I have tremendous respect for the soldiers that have fallen for this country and hope to be able to do even perform a fraction of the heroism they showed. Always place the mission first, never accept defeat, never quit, never leave a fallen comrade. Love your family and make it obvious. Have fun and enjoy life, no matter the circumstances you're in. And remember, this may be a produced work of art, but it is all too real. God bless you all.
Isn’t 12B combat engineers, don’t engineers build fortifications and do maintenance and whatnot? (This is a genuine question as I don’t know much about the army.)
Yes, you are right, it is combat engineer. And yes, we can and will do that, as that is part of our job. But, the thing is, we usually do that in a combat zone, sometimes even while combat might be happening. So by default, we're probably going to be in combat and in danger often. Not only that, but 12b is tasked with the job of "clearing the way". Say there's some c-wire (pretty sharp and just bad if yknow what I mean) and it's blocking a path. We would be tasked with disposing of that c-wire, whether it's stealthily cutting it, or blowing it the hell up with a bangalore. Usually, we're also tasked with clearing minefields so other can pass through. Not everyone does or will do that part, but it is something someone WILL have to do, and that makes it very dangerous. I also do believe my drill sergeants told us that our lifespan in combat (at least as the one who clears everything first) is less than 30 seconds, which is a pretty low. I didn't know a lot of this stuff before I went in. These are all things I learnt with my OSUT training. The internet really doesn't give you the whole story or complete job of some MOS's, so I understand the question and I hope this helped out at least a little. I also haven't even been in that long, so keep that in mind.
@@ashtonplatt6602 Just think about how war has barely changed, back in WW1 in the early skirmishes french engineers may have had the job of cutting barbed wire to pave the way for the rest of the forces, the weapons may be different, but the strategies almost never change.

Dude you have got to get some type of job connected to film production or director of some short of media because the way you compose your content is genuinely always a new thrilling and refreshing piece of media to consume, LOVE IT
Can we just start calling this guy Ratstopher Skewielberg just because of his amazingly coordinated improvisation, amazing production quality, great boys of his crew born straight-outta-theatre-school Hospital and very detailed and realistic writing?
No way I just fucking cried over a Lego game. This is a cinematic masterpiece, this reminds of all quiet on the western front or some shit. Absolute amazing depiction of the horrors of war and the sheer panic and fear soldiers feel during battle. You’re amazing ratskewer!
The quality of this is extremely good you get to know each one of these characters and see their bond grow as they grow to rely on each other and the extremely powerful performances of everyone in this video is insane and Raphael’s final thoughts of panic was just something else that you could never expect in an 11 minute video about a Roblox ww1 game where made by a guy named rat
This perfectly highlights the ups and downs of a man in this era fighting in a war. It perfectly highlights the horrors of war as well. None of the script sounds forced at all, it sounds so natural like they're actually experiencing it. But in the end it's true; there is no winners in war, everybody loses somehow. Absolutely meticulously crafted by ratskewer, god bless.
this unironically made me emotional. might just be because it's 6AM and i haven't slept, but the characters had the perfect amount of time to introduce who they are and it made me attached to them, i felt like i was there. a ROBLOX VIDEO had a better representation of war and it's tragedies than a fucking hollywood movie. stand proud because god DAMN this is a masterpiece. can't wait for the next upload, love your stuff.
You are the ideal film maker, rat. This is insane. Your acting and story telling really makes these games enjoyable to watch, and honestly, I've went to try some of them out because of your videos. Your channel deserves so many more subs, its infuriating. Get this man more recognition.
The ending was gut wrenching... the mother absolutely crying her soul out felt so realistic, not to mention the barren empty town... Ratskewers the only one that can make me feel emotional over a fucking block game 😭
@@YSleepish you would hope, but the setting is a minor country technically, and if a major war breaks out... People tend to get drafted younger and younger. The germans were so low on soldiers they had literal children on the front lines, for example.
This was an insane watch, it genuinely made me cry. The cinematics and voice acting was all incredible, I managed to become attached to all 4 people within 11 minutes, especially Raph. Hearing his mother mourn destroyed me.
You're genuinely so underrated. The cinematography and the storyline of the video is so preplexing and so amazing, im honestly surprised by it. I love it so much, i really hoped other people could find your channel and see its amazing qualities, whether you're just playing with your friends or do some serious stuff like this. Stuff like these deserved 500k views, heck, i wont even be surprised if your channel reached 1 million subscribers!❤
This is the quality I've always known Ratskewer for. I can't believe this man, he manages to make Roblox look interesting as hell, despite most of its quality game's having ''mid'' stories at most, so the way he expands on it is just great. Not to mention the insane production quality.
It is not often that I praise a work like this but I have to say that you have done a fantastic job with this video. What I found very touching is how accurate the demise of each member was, the deaths were sudden, no over-dramatization, thus, it was powerful. The effect on me was way more lasting than it would have been otherwise. The poor kid wanting to return home back to his mother only to be shot was VERY profound.
I should scream because of how well done this is, rat! I love the shell of the role you've made for yourself. You are a man who's never stopped thinking. I expect this to skyrocket because, oh my gosh? Every next word breaks me, and I am all fond of it
again the rat strikes the world with an amazing and creative new experience to enjoy. the character design fits the setting and time period of the film so well, and dont even get me started on the character development along with the writing. the sfx and special effects truly rival those of any film on planet earth, the 4K quality of the film adds to the experience. this truly captures the essence of what it would be like to be a soldier in a war of this time period, the heartbreak of the families and the work of the soldiers. truly a work of art this new ratskewer film is. keep up the good work rat.
A cinematic masterpiece as always from ratskewer, never one to disapoint. If you liked this game you should like Shell Shocked, which is a really underrated game compared to other games in roblox.
im tearing up. the short form storyline is so well put together that by the end i already knew all the characters, i knew what they were going through, i knew they wanted to go home. keep going man this is great.
This felt like a actual movie, I think I've never felt tears almost come out my eyes ever since All Quiet on the Western Front. The emotion and everything it just felt good. That's another subscriber for you.
Oh my gosh, this is probably one of the best shorts I've seen on roblox! I've been looking for a World War I video in roblox for a long time and I found it! Everything is great here. Well-written dialogues, an understandable plot with a beginning and an end, sound effects, musical accompaniment. All this wonderful conveys all the horror and despair of that time. I was most impressed by the finale itself, namely the death of all the heroes. Each of them is a separate person with their own characters and appearance, united by one thing - the war. Throughout the short film, all the horrors of war and the fact that there is nothing romantic about it are shown. I am very impressed with your work and I give you ratskewer and your whole team a lot of respect for all this work! Hope to see more content like this from you, all the best
After watching, i can definitely say that this is one of the best videos on this channel so far. The sound design and the game itself is amazing, and the voice actors were outstanding. The fact that ratskewer can make such a heartwrenching and real story that makes you feel for the charecters in the span of only 11 minutes, is a skill that not many posses. This channel is definitely one of my new favourites
@@ratskewerhey Mister, i was wondering what games you used other than Centaura. If you see this please do respond. I’m asking for a group! Thanks again, and i enjoy your content!
Holy moly, this isn’t your regular short film, with the protagonists coming out victorious, this feels so real, and it perfectly shows the horrors of war. Ratskewer is an absolute gem on youtube
Centaura brought the environment, and Ratskewer used it to make it alive. With energy, tension and grit. And then as quick as it came, it ended. James, Simon, Caleb, Raphael. Their deaths weren’t poetic and drawn-out, they were filled with terror and sudden. Maybe that was the best fate for them, rather than living in eternal suffering from the loss of their fellow soldiers. Requiesce in pace.
this is just amazing. the way rat captured the horror and brutality of war is so good, especially with the ending. it actually broke me, and that soldier wanting to go home and see his mom is just, it sounded so real it sends chills down my spine. fantastic work rat, you've outdone yourself with this one. its one hell of an adventure
I just gotta say I love this so much man, everything went cold. The body temperature, the coffee and just how everything went south in a 20 second span
Holy shit. This was amazing. Ever since I first subscribed, I’ve been getting nothing but videos that could rival those made in Hollywood. This has single-handedly made the internet feel entertaining again. Thank you once again ratskewer.
waiting for ratskewer to get a job as a directer. Also, the final scene with the mother crying with the shot of the coffee still on the table, having "gone cold" now, really hit, amazing stuff
The desperation in every character is honestly what hit the most, like how Ralph thought about his mother when all hope was lost. You really get to see the pure, raw unfiltered emotion from each of them, and it brings so much meaning to how each counted death is someone's life, someone's aspirations, rather than the mere numbers that statistics make them seem to be. Nicely done!! Can't wait to watch more stuff from you ^ ^
i.. dont have the words to tell you how I feel. there is nothing like this in the roblox community and you inspire with a simple video about a recreation. thank you for the laughs and for the genuine passion that you have for this
The part where he cursed in Czech hit me, my mom’s Czech, I love the language and want to learn. Growing up I was always spoke to in czech, I could understand yet not put it into words if that makes sense. Hearing that made me imagine my loved ones out there, maybe even me, speaking in a language that always brought comfort to us in our last moments.
knowing the lore behind Centaura as well... their sacrifices were all in vain. Corvus allies with Antares to overwhelm Cetus, and Cetus falls within months due to Antares superiority, marking the end of the south Corvus war and the beggining of the Centauran war
One thing I do really love is how Nobody left the south Corvus war in the right Cetus was the reason behind the whole thing, having basically screwed Corvus over in their seizure of south Corvus Corvus, while totally in the right to invade, turned to committing several warcrimes during the war, like gas attacks. And of course there is Antares, who exploited a conflict between its neighbors for its ruler’s own imperialistic goals
I just, wow, I am at a loss for words. This short video truly encapsulates war and the cost of it, people with normal lives, soon ending up in a hell on earth scenario just to become a mere number. And damn does the ending hit hard.
Unironically, beautiful, some of the scenes gave me actual anti-war film vibes, and the ending made me genuinely sad and a little teary. This is something I’ve never seen done in Roblox, and especially not this well constructed. I want to write more but am at a loss for words. Thank you for bestowing this upon us.
The content this guy puts out is just fucking amazing. My attention span isn't the best, so I usually find myself skipping through most videos I watch. But whenever Ratskewer posts a video, I sit through the entirety of them. This guy deserves way more subscribers and it won't be long before more people find this gem of a channel. Keep up the good work man!
“I am young, I am twenty years old; yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow. I see how peoples are set against one another, and in silence, unknowingly, foolishly, obediently, innocently slay one another. He fell in October 1918, on a day that was so quiet and still on the whole front, that the army report confined itself to the single sentence: All quiet on the Western Front. He had fallen forward and lay on the earth as though sleeping." - All Quiet on The Western Front
I really didn’t expect for them all to die. I guess this just shows the horrors of war, I at least hoped for Raphael to live, damn. Amazing work, though.
The video was a masterclass in melancholy. Ratskewer, you managed to make me, a time-obsessed creature, forget the world around me and feel the weight of everyone's loss, even the seemingly insignificant people having dinner .
You really need to be a movie director. Like i really thought it would be a kinda happy story we’re the main guy survives but just dahm how all the people just die never expect it also props to the voice actor of Raphael’s mom at the end that shit almost made me cry Like this shows the true horrors of war this short film just makes the game feel 100% better like this gave me chills this could fr be a movie storyline like all the voice acting is so good and it feels so real and like every moment felt real like all the emotions like when James died and Raphael like as I said this shit almost made me cry like the emotion of rookie after the main guy dies seems so real like I felt for him there even though it was just acting like I don’t know how to put into words how good this is (also srry for no punctuation it’s probably hard to read lol)
Ratskewer has a lot of potential to be one of the most popular Roblox content creators. And his incredible videos will eventually get him that title. Been here since 20k, don’t give up.
I remember my great-grandpa telling me stories of that war, describing how horrifying it was when he was in the Blackton mines. He said that sometimes at night, he would wake up hearing screams out of nowhere, even though no one was there. He told me one story about being at Capri Valley, where he saw all his friends in his battalion turn to ash from a large fireball in one instant. I still remember his quote from one of his stories: "If I had to change one thing in my life, I would never sign up for the military."
I was expecting you and the boys to be goofing around in a game, not a beautifully created, beautifully acted or perfect short movie. honestly this is just perfect.
That ending was just perfect. there was no heroic sacrifice, the deaths were sudden and out of nowhere. It really shows how there is no victor in war. Only chaos. Only the dead see the end of war.
I’m really just crying from roblox right now, this brought tears to my eyes, it didn’t even feel like Roblox, it felt like a movie, or short story that was simply recreated in roblox. God that ending sequence really hit me hard, that was brilliantly done, absolutely amazing. I have no words honestly, and no words can quite describe how well made this is. Once again, amazingly done, keep doing what you do, and thank you for making this. Amazing.
“We have never lived a life like the one we have now but the life we live now is hell. Bullets flying by. Shells on the floor and artillery everywhere. Even if we survive the horrors the men on top full of ego and pride will send young men to die again until the next old man takes his place. Making sure that ‘only the dead have seen the end of war’”…. ( What’s worse is that their sacrifices were in vain the Cetens lost the war anyway they died for nothing)
Illutrates the horrors of war as I imagine it would be, sends a message past goofy roblox graphics, and obviously has effort put into it, I hope this becomes a classic of the roblox community.
man this was TOO good, you ratskewer, have genuinely become one of the people i look up to now. i wish i could create things as good as you. really, i hope you have an amazing future.
Personally all my experiences in this game are really funny, I typically start with "i love war" and the rest of the server goes along and we all start talking about how fun war is and how much we love it
"War isn't hell. War is war, and Hell is hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse." - Captain B.F. Peirce Absolutely beautiful acting, writing, and cinematography from everyone involved. Great job on this, man.
Always revisit this once in a while. And now that I’m preparing to make centaura videos of my own, I got a lot to look up to. Love this ratskewer, do more of these.
i honestly thought this would be like a commentary video or something, didnt expect the most beautiful youtube video lmfaoo (also the vy hajzlové was a fine addition)
You know whats even sadder?, in the games lore their country (Cetus) lost the war and became a colony for an Empire (Antares) , so they all died for nothing, even their enemy (Corvus) ended being turned into a colony as well.
I seriously don't understand why this video didn't get atleast 1 million views, probably one of the best short films I've ever seen, Ratskewer, this is a Masterpiece
Man the editing in this video is unbelievable. Really puts you in the perspective of the soldier. I would never expect this level of cinematography and storytelling from a roblox gameplay.
this actually shows most of the war horrors. young Caleb speaking with his mother before the war, the scene in the car, and when the guy in the mines screams “help, i don’t wanna die”. It’s actually terrifying
Rat really wakes up every day and says: "How about I make an absolute FUCKING MASTERPIECE without fail, or change in quality, and with top notch editing."
this video is beautiful, it made me play CENTAURA, if this were a full movie I'd watch it, reminds me of all quiet on the western front, same ending, everyone from the beginning ends up dead with no happy ending, its somber but realistic
I got attached to them characters so much that I cried a little at the end. You and your VAs' skills were very impressive. I can see how much effort was put into this.
Everything about this video is genuinely beautiful. I’m not going to write a full page essay because people will and have said it better than I could but this is beautiful and I can’t wait to see what else you make.
Rats this is a really question now, what's up with all this cinematic expertises? You are doing it so god damn well, it's overwhelming the ambient that you make in every video, giving it a deserve seriousness when it's need it. Don't know what else to say, but that your are underrated, but at the same time doing so greatful videos every single time. You deserve so much in the page. And I know you know it too.
What I really like about this video and the game Centaura itself is that it doesn’t glorify anything about war at all. There is no “main character”, there’s no powerful moment where one of the soldiers give a speech and they all go home safe, we watch them all experience fear, die, and then the battle goes on. No one even gets a memorial aside from the soldier arriving at their parents’ door, which really leaves the harrowing feeling war should leave on a person. 10/10, good shit man 👍
The first Centauran wars (1908-1944) were a series of wars involving trench warfare which involved the most horrific and bloody battles the world had seen. Millions died for their country. Mothers never saw their children again, wives never got to hug their husbands again, children never saw their fathers again. Cetan forces were overwhelmed by the brutality of the Corvan army leading to the fall of Cetus. The Anterians crushed the Corvan militay and squeezing them out of their occupied lands. The Anterians claimed the title of victors in 1944. The total death toll has not been clarified. We salute to the fallen soldiers of the Centauran wars. We thank you for your sacrifices. May your souls rest in undisturbed peace.
dude this is amazing its like ive just watch an episode of a full blown show!! Its like i could feel the emotions of the soliders, and how they tried to pull through even when it was tough. the ending was pretty sad aswell. Like always awesome video hope u get to 100k soon, and even more! You deserve 10x more subscribers then you have. 😅

True but I start to feel important when I charge an enemy trench and get 15 kills with my melee just nonstop running forward
Another thing that I really like is how realistic it is when it comes to squad sized battles, there are few troops that are the most combat effective while others are less so, taking cover and such.
All of this, and the environment, thousands of gunshots, endless artillery volleys, men screaming. Seeing fellow soldiers turn into fine colored rain the moment an artillery shell hits. One instantly dies as a punishment for peeking too much. Epic Advancements with men screaming right after the officer blows their whistle. There has been NO game that made me feel like im in a real war, made me feel like a hopeless traumatized soldier in the midst of a hell
Lesson is you are not the main character in war

No way I just fucking cried over a Lego game. This is a cinematic masterpiece, this reminds of all quiet on the western front or some shit. Absolute amazing depiction of the horrors of war and the sheer panic and fear soldiers feel during battle. You’re amazing ratskewer!
The quality of this is extremely good you get to know each one of these characters and see their bond grow as they grow to rely on each other and the extremely powerful performances of everyone in this video is insane and Raphael’s final thoughts of panic was just something else that you could never expect in an 11 minute video about a Roblox ww1 game where made by a guy named rat
This perfectly highlights the ups and downs of a man in this era fighting in a war. It perfectly highlights the horrors of war as well. None of the script sounds forced at all, it sounds so natural like they're actually experiencing it. But in the end it's true; there is no winners in war, everybody loses somehow. Absolutely meticulously crafted by ratskewer, god bless.
this unironically made me emotional. might just be because it's 6AM and i haven't slept, but the characters had the perfect amount of time to introduce who they are and it made me attached to them, i felt like i was there. a ROBLOX VIDEO had a better representation of war and it's tragedies than a fucking hollywood movie. stand proud because god DAMN this is a masterpiece. can't wait for the next upload, love your stuff.
The best Roblox movie since the last guest
You are the ideal film maker, rat. This is insane. Your acting and story telling really makes these games enjoyable to watch, and honestly, I've went to try some of them out because of your videos. Your channel deserves so many more subs, its infuriating. Get this man more recognition.
Appreciate you dingo, stay tuned.
The ending was gut wrenching... the mother absolutely crying her soul out felt so realistic, not to mention the barren empty town...
Ratskewers the only one that can make me feel emotional over a fucking block game 😭
for me it sounded kinda... no comment.

The acting was great, but that situation was unrealistic, since the draft wouldn't have applied to her only son thankfully.
@@YSleepish you would hope, but the setting is a minor country technically, and if a major war breaks out... People tend to get drafted younger and younger. The germans were so low on soldiers they had literal children on the front lines, for example.
@@jackwilliams2673Right, I forgot about Hitler's bunker boys...
This was an insane watch, it genuinely made me cry. The cinematics and voice acting was all incredible, I managed to become attached to all 4 people within 11 minutes, especially Raph. Hearing his mother mourn destroyed me.
I did not expect a cinematic masterpiece. Incredible work, ratskewer.
You're genuinely so underrated. The cinematography and the storyline of the video is so preplexing and so amazing, im honestly surprised by it. I love it so much, i really hoped other people could find your channel and see its amazing qualities, whether you're just playing with your friends or do some serious stuff like this. Stuff like these deserved 500k views, heck, i wont even be surprised if your channel reached 1 million subscribers!❤
This is the quality I've always known Ratskewer for. I can't believe this man, he manages to make Roblox look interesting as hell, despite most of its quality game's having ''mid'' stories at most, so the way he expands on it is just great. Not to mention the insane production quality.
The ending was heartbreaking and realistic at the same time, it teaches us the futility of war and how many lives are lost for no reason
It is not often that I praise a work like this but I have to say that you have done a fantastic job with this video. What I found very touching is how accurate the demise of each member was, the deaths were sudden, no over-dramatization, thus, it was powerful. The effect on me was way more lasting than it would have been otherwise. The poor kid wanting to return home back to his mother only to be shot was VERY profound.
10:28 imagine how people sent by there army to tell a dead’s loved ones that they were K.I.A is hard
I should scream because of how well done this is, rat! I love the shell of the role you've made for yourself. You are a man who's never stopped thinking. I expect this to skyrocket because, oh my gosh? Every next word breaks me, and I am all fond of it
again the rat strikes the world with an amazing and creative new experience to enjoy. the character design fits the setting and time period of the film so well, and dont even get me started on the character development along with the writing. the sfx and special effects truly rival those of any film on planet earth, the 4K quality of the film adds to the experience. this truly captures the essence of what it would be like to be a soldier in a war of this time period, the heartbreak of the families and the work of the soldiers. truly a work of art this new ratskewer film is. keep up the good work rat.
Thank you, Phillip.
A cinematic masterpiece as always from ratskewer, never one to disapoint. If you liked this game you should like Shell Shocked, which is a really underrated game compared to other games in roblox.
im tearing up. the short form storyline is so well put together that by the end i already knew all the characters, i knew what they were going through, i knew they wanted to go home. keep going man this is great.
it was genuinely beautiful
This felt like a actual movie, I think I've never felt tears almost come out my eyes ever since All Quiet on the Western Front. The emotion and everything it just felt good. That's another subscriber for you.
Oh my gosh, this is probably one of the best shorts I've seen on roblox! I've been looking for a World War I video in roblox for a long time and I found it! Everything is great here. Well-written dialogues, an understandable plot with a beginning and an end, sound effects, musical accompaniment. All this wonderful conveys all the horror and despair of that time. I was most impressed by the finale itself, namely the death of all the heroes. Each of them is a separate person with their own characters and appearance, united by one thing - the war. Throughout the short film, all the horrors of war and the fact that there is nothing romantic about it are shown. I am very impressed with your work and I give you ratskewer and your whole team a lot of respect for all this work! Hope to see more content like this from you, all the best
Thank you for taking the time to write this Taymur, I really appreciate you!
@ratskewer you're welcome
After watching, i can definitely say that this is one of the best videos on this channel so far. The sound design and the game itself is amazing, and the voice actors were outstanding. The fact that ratskewer can make such a heartwrenching and real story that makes you feel for the charecters in the span of only 11 minutes, is a skill that not many posses. This channel is definitely one of my new favourites
Appreciate you dude, stick around.
@@ratskewerhey Mister, i was wondering what games you used other than Centaura. If you see this please do respond. I’m asking for a group! Thanks again, and i enjoy your content!
Holy moly, this isn’t your regular short film, with the protagonists coming out victorious, this feels so real, and it perfectly shows the horrors of war. Ratskewer is an absolute gem on youtube
Centaura brought the environment, and Ratskewer used it to make it alive. With energy, tension and grit. And then as quick as it came, it ended. James, Simon, Caleb, Raphael. Their deaths weren’t poetic and drawn-out, they were filled with terror and sudden. Maybe that was the best fate for them, rather than living in eternal suffering from the loss of their fellow soldiers. Requiesce in pace.
This 11 minute video honestly felt like a movie describing the horrors of war in a roblox game. I am definitely subscribing for more shit like this.
it's crazy to see him grow so much, he was only at 4k subs not a while ago. i hope more people see your content, keep up the good work man! :D
this is just amazing. the way rat captured the horror and brutality of war is so good, especially with the ending. it actually broke me, and that soldier wanting to go home and see his mom is just, it sounded so real it sends chills down my spine. fantastic work rat, you've outdone yourself with this one. its one hell of an adventure
I just gotta say I love this so much man, everything went cold. The body temperature, the coffee and just how everything went south in a 20 second span
AND THEN THE MOM PART MADE ME CRY
that subtle operation market garden part sold it for me. super good use of different games to sell the setting is genuinely impressive
These cinematic masterpieces are just so well done. 1:1 my friend.
I did not expect this at all, this was a whole emotional roller-coaster, absolutely magnificent
Holy shit. This was amazing. Ever since I first subscribed, I’ve been getting nothing but videos that could rival those made in Hollywood. This has single-handedly made the internet feel entertaining again. Thank you once again ratskewer.
waiting for ratskewer to get a job as a directer. Also, the final scene with the mother crying with the shot of the coffee still on the table, having "gone cold" now, really hit, amazing stuff
Glad you noticed the callback
This is amazing, I honestly felt so engaged into it, thanks so much for sharing this cinematic experience.
The desperation in every character is honestly what hit the most, like how Ralph thought about his mother when all hope was lost. You really get to see the pure, raw unfiltered emotion from each of them, and it brings so much meaning to how each counted death is someone's life, someone's aspirations, rather than the mere numbers that statistics make them seem to be.
Nicely done!! Can't wait to watch more stuff from you ^ ^
i.. dont have the words to tell you how I feel.
there is nothing like this in the roblox community and you inspire with a simple video about a recreation.
thank you for the laughs and for the genuine passion that you have for this
Stick around.
The part where he cursed in Czech hit me, my mom’s Czech, I love the language and want to learn. Growing up I was always spoke to in czech, I could understand yet not put it into words if that makes sense. Hearing that made me imagine my loved ones out there, maybe even me, speaking in a language that always brought comfort to us in our last moments.
knowing the lore behind Centaura as well... their sacrifices were all in vain. Corvus allies with Antares to overwhelm Cetus, and Cetus falls within months due to Antares superiority, marking the end of the south Corvus war and the beggining of the Centauran war
One thing I do really love is how
Nobody left the south Corvus war in the right
Cetus was the reason behind the whole thing, having basically screwed Corvus over in their seizure of south Corvus
Corvus, while totally in the right to invade, turned to committing several warcrimes during the war, like gas attacks.
And of course there is Antares, who exploited a conflict between its neighbors for its ruler’s own imperialistic goals
I just, wow, I am at a loss for words.
This short video truly encapsulates war and the cost of it, people with normal lives, soon ending up in a hell on earth scenario just to become a mere number.
And damn does the ending hit hard.
Unironically, beautiful, some of the scenes gave me actual anti-war film vibes, and the ending made me genuinely sad and a little teary. This is something I’ve never seen done in Roblox, and especially not this well constructed. I want to write more but am at a loss for words. Thank you for bestowing this upon us.
I got so many "saving private ryan" and "all quiet on the western front" vibes from this.
The content this guy puts out is just fucking amazing. My attention span isn't the best, so I usually find myself skipping through most videos I watch. But whenever Ratskewer posts a video, I sit through the entirety of them. This guy deserves way more subscribers and it won't be long before more people find this gem of a channel. Keep up the good work man!
“I am young, I am twenty years old; yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow. I see how peoples are set against one another, and in silence, unknowingly, foolishly, obediently, innocently slay one another.
He fell in October 1918, on a day that was so quiet and still on the whole front, that the army report confined itself to the single sentence: All quiet on the Western Front. He had fallen forward and lay on the earth as though sleeping."
- All Quiet on The Western Front
I really didn’t expect for them all to die. I guess this just shows the horrors of war, I at least hoped for Raphael to live, damn. Amazing work, though.
The video was a masterclass in melancholy. Ratskewer, you managed to make me, a time-obsessed creature, forget the world around me and feel the weight of everyone's loss, even the seemingly insignificant people having dinner .
This is true Roblox cinema at its finest. The best war short story I’ve ever seen
You really need to be a movie director.
Like i really thought it would be a kinda happy story we’re the main guy survives but just dahm how all the people just die never expect it also props to the voice actor of Raphael’s mom at the end that shit almost made me cry Like this shows the true horrors of war this short film just makes the game feel 100% better like this gave me chills this could fr be a movie storyline like all the voice acting is so good and it feels so real and like every moment felt real like all the emotions like when James died and Raphael like as I said this shit almost made me cry like the emotion of rookie after the main guy dies seems so real like I felt for him there even though it was just acting like I don’t know how to put into words how good this is (also srry for no punctuation it’s probably hard to read lol)
Bro this is all quiet on the western front levels of cinematic. The voice acting, visual and sound effect and all that are just absolutely phenomenal.
Ratskewer has a lot of potential to be one of the most popular Roblox content creators. And his incredible videos will eventually get him that title. Been here since 20k, don’t give up.
I remember my great-grandpa telling me stories of that war, describing how horrifying it was when he was in the Blackton mines. He said that sometimes at night, he would wake up hearing screams out of nowhere, even though no one was there. He told me one story about being at Capri Valley, where he saw all his friends in his battalion turn to ash from a large fireball in one instant. I still remember his quote from one of his stories: "If I had to change one thing in my life, I would never sign up for the military."
I was expecting you and the boys to be goofing around in a game, not a beautifully created, beautifully acted or perfect short movie. honestly this is just perfect.
That ending was just perfect. there was no heroic sacrifice, the deaths were sudden and out of nowhere. It really shows how there is no victor in war. Only chaos. Only the dead see the end of war.
There is something soothing and reasuring with rat's voice, This is also better than any other Triple A movie
I’m really just crying from roblox right now, this brought tears to my eyes, it didn’t even feel like Roblox, it felt like a movie, or short story that was simply recreated in roblox. God that ending sequence really hit me hard, that was brilliantly done, absolutely amazing. I have no words honestly, and no words can quite describe how well made this is. Once again, amazingly done, keep doing what you do, and thank you for making this. Amazing.
I am amazed at how rat can make stories better then most 1h-2h short films in only 10 minutes
“We have never lived a life like the one we have now but the life we live now is hell. Bullets flying by. Shells on the floor and artillery everywhere. Even if we survive the horrors the men on top full of ego and pride will send young men to die again until the next old man takes his place. Making sure that ‘only the dead have seen the end of war’”…. ( What’s worse is that their sacrifices were in vain the Cetens lost the war anyway they died for nothing)
Illutrates the horrors of war as I imagine it would be, sends a message past goofy roblox graphics, and obviously has effort put into it, I hope this becomes a classic of the roblox community.
The end when Tiffany cried literally sent shivers down my spine this is some true good acting
man this was TOO good, you ratskewer, have genuinely become one of the people i look up to now. i wish i could create things as good as you. really, i hope you have an amazing future.
Personally all my experiences in this game are really funny, I typically start with "i love war" and the rest of the server goes along and we all start talking about how fun war is and how much we love it
"War isn't hell. War is war, and Hell is hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse." - Captain B.F. Peirce
Absolutely beautiful acting, writing, and cinematography from everyone involved. Great job on this, man.
Always revisit this once in a while. And now that I’m preparing to make centaura videos of my own, I got a lot to look up to. Love this ratskewer, do more of these.
You story writing goober.
i honestly thought this would be like a commentary video or something, didnt expect the most beautiful youtube video lmfaoo (also the vy hajzlové was a fine addition)
that end was so raw holy, good work to you and SMCP
You know whats even sadder?, in the games lore their country (Cetus) lost the war and became a colony for an Empire (Antares) , so they all died for nothing, even their enemy (Corvus) ended being turned into a colony as well.
Holy moly, ratskewer can turn anything to a high quality film. It felt like I was watching an actual movie
I seriously don't understand why this video didn't get atleast 1 million views, probably one of the best short films I've ever seen, Ratskewer, this is a Masterpiece
Man the editing in this video is unbelievable. Really puts you in the perspective of the soldier. I would never expect this level of cinematography and storytelling from a roblox gameplay.
this actually shows most of the war horrors. young Caleb speaking with his mother before the war, the scene in the car, and when the guy in the mines screams “help, i don’t wanna die”. It’s actually terrifying
Rat really wakes up every day and says: "How about I make an absolute FUCKING MASTERPIECE without fail, or change in quality, and with top notch editing."
Centaura is one of those games that you just keep coming back to because of how immersive and fun it is
the crying, fuck dude. this is genuinely so amazing. raphael will never get to see his mom again holy shit this hurts
this video is beautiful, it made me play CENTAURA, if this were a full movie I'd watch it, reminds me of all quiet on the western front, same ending, everyone from the beginning ends up dead with no happy ending, its somber but realistic
Every time he makes a video i feel as if i was watching a movie
I got attached to them characters so much that I cried a little at the end. You and your VAs' skills were very impressive. I can see how much effort was put into this.
never have I ever thought a fucking Roblox movie would make me cry
Everything about this video is genuinely beautiful. I’m not going to write a full page essay because people will and have said it better than I could but this is beautiful and I can’t wait to see what else you make.
Rats this is a really question now, what's up with all this cinematic expertises? You are doing it so god damn well, it's overwhelming the ambient that you make in every video, giving it a deserve seriousness when it's need it.
Don't know what else to say, but that your are underrated, but at the same time doing so greatful videos every single time. You deserve so much in the page. And I know you know it too.
THE BEST short film I've seen done inside of a video game. It really shows the damage and cost of war.
"Soldiers aren't numbers they're fathers, husbands, sons and brothers".
What I really like about this video and the game Centaura itself is that it doesn’t glorify anything about war at all. There is no “main character”, there’s no powerful moment where one of the soldiers give a speech and they all go home safe, we watch them all experience fear, die, and then the battle goes on. No one even gets a memorial aside from the soldier arriving at their parents’ door, which really leaves the harrowing feeling war should leave on a person. 10/10, good shit man 👍
No doubt that this creator will gain a million subs in a few months. It is already an honor to witness these early videos.
this is.. an amazing project that i thought was just gonna be gameplay, not a short movie film
When a roblox video makes you care more about the characters the most hollywood productions
The first Centauran wars (1908-1944) were a series of wars involving trench warfare which involved the most horrific and bloody battles the world had seen. Millions died for their country. Mothers never saw their children again, wives never got to hug their husbands again, children never saw their fathers again. Cetan forces were overwhelmed by the brutality of the Corvan army leading to the fall of Cetus. The Anterians crushed the Corvan militay and squeezing them out of their occupied lands. The Anterians claimed the title of victors in 1944. The total death toll has not been clarified. We salute to the fallen soldiers of the Centauran wars. We thank you for your sacrifices. May your souls rest in undisturbed peace.
Found this through the CENTAURA devs discord. Fucking hell man you are good at this.

dude this is amazing its like ive just watch an episode of a full blown show!! Its like i could feel the emotions of the soliders, and how they tried to pull through even when it was tough. the ending was pretty sad aswell. Like always awesome video hope u get to 100k soon, and even more! You deserve 10x more subscribers then you have. 😅
what a beautiful and meaningful piece put together, I've never been so proud to watch this channel grow everyday
