  • You guys remember when Aphmau made roleplays? Yeah me neither.
    Dreams of Estorra was so cool when it first came out! I wish it lasted longer and could've been one of the main series alonside Mystreet and Minecraft Diaries.

    I think Jess lost motivation for this series because a LOT of people were comparing it to Sword Art Online :[

      That could be a reason. But I think it was mainly because her team were the one's making these episodes at around episode 8? I could be wrong though. Thanks for watching the video!

      I wish people would stop comparing media like those people were doing. Like yes they are similar themes, but she has her own point of view and the fact that the NPC were actually AI or actual human was an AMAZING twist on her part. Thats why I loved this series so much and seeing the downfall made me so sad.

    To be very honest, my inner demons was my personal all time favorite. The plot, characters, humor was amazing. It's sad that it probably won't be touched on again, and it was left on a hug cliff-hanger.

      @@Snowleaf______________________ I think it's part nostalgia since it was basically the last role play she did and we never got season 2. It had fun new characters that were interesting and what felt like real stakes. Part of it might be just that slicer of hope that MID season 2 would bring the rps back.

      I’m gonna probably get a lot of heat for saying this but the gacha Community is kind of starting to feel that fantasy ask five that I’ve been missing like there’s a series called the element protectors for example that you should really check out it’s like that fantasy ask about that I’ve been missing from ahp and self Because the jokes are really funny the characters extremely well written and also my favourite character in the whole series phoenix flare who am I opinion is the most well written character in the whole series because her backstory is very disturbing and also her character development is undeniable because like when I first started out with a series I always thought that the character of Phoenix was just going to be the typical mean girl but now they expand upon her character and now she’s starting to be one of my favourites

    My understanding, Aphmau Fantasy was managed by Max and Will after Jess couldn't find the time to manage those RPs, because MyStreet became a much larger project. So she assigned those two to manage the channel, the RPs, everything. However, I think because MyStreet was still becoming an even bigger project, Max and Will had to change priorities to help with that RP instead, so the time and effort to make these RPs wasn't a thing, so I can see them trying to make filler episodes to at least keep the RP alive.
    However, after the Blu Jay Studios drama, with Max quitting, and everyone else being laid off. DoE lost it's main cast VA's with Kristina (Rune), Will (Braxton) and Castor (Owen).
    DoE was such an amazing RP and it was truly going somewhere. I'm just sad it died off the way it did. But with nobody to manage it anymore, it was going to happen sadly. I'm also upset that she privated the videos and rebranded the channel, it feels like she wanted to hide those RPs, but those RPs also deserve attention.

      That actually makes sense. Will did a lot of animation work, seen in swords, creatures/animals, and ears+tails. Max and Ross are big Runescape fans. I assume that most people involved are familiar with "chose your own adventure" type of game. With the whole voice actors leaving was more or less was a finishing blow.

      @@ShinoriDelfrim A few years ago, Bluejay Studios was just a general bad working environment with the treatment of its staff. Practically all the people involved with the production got fired after talking about the situation, and some others left or just weren’t contacted at all (which is around the time usually prominent characters who appeared in the roleplay stories and mini game videos suddenly disappeared like Dottie and Rune who were voiced by Kristina, Daniel who was voiced by Ross, Castor, Will who did a bunch of the models and animations, other concept artists, etc.). There was a lot that went down, but you can hardly find those tweets of back then because they were deleted over fear of being sued by Bluejay(?) for talking about their treatment.

    If Aphmau does have the resources to do two channel again, I feel like her plan going into it should be keeping the content on the main channel the same to keep view up and she loves what she is doing there, but she should make her Aphmau stories the more serious story telling bc that is what she loved to do and maybe still does (I have no idea). This way she has two channel that cover two different age ranges. Minecraft Diaries, Mystreet, and Dreams of Estorra would be the main focus on the stories channel.

      Im glad I'm not the only one who thinks Aaron was the downfall of Mcd don't get me wrongs its amazing but Aaron really had no reason to be in the story he probably would of worked if he put into the story earlier for example maybe being a travel buddy with Dante but still being mysterious or just not have Aaron be in the series at all they had this whole hype for garmau or laurmau but just made a switch for no reason if she wanted Jason to voice a character he could of voice Garroth or Laurance so the story made sense

    • @sylver_drawer
      @sylver_drawer Рік тому +1

      @@erickacruz5882 The thing was that he was introduced into the party at a nice point (shortly after Dante became a part of their crew). He just never interacted with anyone until like a third into s2, which was likely why it felt like there was hardly much substance. And when we did go into and explore his character, he only interacted with Aphmau (who was essentially a proxy for his dead wife) and Lilith (who was also basically a replacement for his dead son). He’d make small quips here and there when other characters would talk, but never actually bonded or tried to talk to the others other than the Aphmau, as well as he didn’t really,,, get involved in the plot in general. In my me,pries, I think he only actually got involved in the plot when he became a love interest (which was horrible timing wise since their relationship revelation in general was a shock even to the few shippers at the time via her sudden pregnancy). The plot changed from a lore based story with Aaron as his own character, to gradually a story shifting to Aphmau’s relationship with Aaron and how that impacted (and changed) the lore.
