[Hearthstone] A Hearthstone -Choose Your Own- Adventure
Hey guys, hope you enjoy this special project I've been working on.
It is a choose your own adventure!
Take your time or rush through to find your own way to victory! There are multiple different scenarios and 4 different ways to win!
This video took me a while to make (~32 in total). With lots of trial and error and dedication, I really do hope this works out. A first for me and possibly for Hearthstone Video types. Hope this makes up for the lack of content last week.
Various things and memes are throughout the video, however, do not read the development process as it may continue some spoilers.
The following has the development process, if you care (minor spoilers ahead):
So first, I had a couple of rules and originally 90% of these scenarios were thought off before actually implementing them.
1) If multiple games were used in the same video: the Board type must be the same (to make the change much less obvious).
2) The actual board change between videos does not matter and is to hard to control. However, the minions, their health and the Hero's health matter.
3) Cards do not need to match because it is to difficult matches these perfectly. I mean there are so many cards, it is pretty much impossible to consistently have the exact same hand.
With that, I pretty much would do 4 scenarios each day (like 4 choices). One thing you may notice is that the two accounts actually switch a couple of times. This is because my Happy115 account is the original with most of the cards while the Happy114 account lacks majority of cards (but has Jaraxxus, horrah!)
Originally, I wasn't going to do sound clips but I decided that it probably would make the video better for the memes. However, I do not have the tools or experience to do more advance edits. Since I do not have photoshop, doing things like adding pictures (such as The Snail!) actually was rather difficult. I have to use a buggy free online version instead. Regardless, the sound clips are much easier to work with, and my time was actually rather lucky as in some cases I may not even need to heavily edit it much.
So why make this video?
1) I've seen like 1 - 2 Interactive Choice Videos (One is Date with Markiplier) and found them creative and enjoyable. As a result, I wanted to see if I could make one too.
2) My channel is still a bit new. To be honest, I don't see realistically this channel getting super popular quick at all because most channels take a while to get going. However, if I could come up with something very uncommonly done, it may draw more attention faster to this channel and speed up the process (last big one I had was "Infinite Turn Mage."
3) I like seeing peoples response to these videos and even looking back at the videos, they make me laugh to. I enjoy Hearthstone a lot but I like the whole fun side to it, not the competitive ranked side. Hearthstone just seemed like something I could actually make this type of video and get it to work since I don't have the big production skills or multiple people to help me.
Will I do this again?
Answer: There is a decent chance, but I will most likely do it during a much larger break instead which will give me a bit more planning. Unfortunately, coming up with a lot of scenarios that differ are quite difficult. When I was working on the last couple scenes, I had issues and started make a few okay filler ones (Like Harrison Jones one).
How come up with each scene?
The idea was that the first few scenes will look more normal and realistic to get a basic understand. Then it would go off the deep end. The main idea was to think of scenarios that actually happen in Hearthstone such as a moment where I saw a streamer Mind Vision a Pyroblast when they were at 10 health (and Mind vision was their top deck card). Other situations involved: If I were to play this card, how could I get it to backfire in the worst case possible. Additionally, cheats in the game had to come through because making a realistic game would make it to boring and also difficult to come up with ideas (hence Change Heroes, or army of deathwings, ect.) I like finding exploits or glitches in game I enjoy so coming up with scenarios isn't too hard.
Finally, thanks so much for taking the time to read this. Additionally, your guy's feedback is very much appreciated. When though I don't response to most comment, I often take them to heart and try to improve upon reading them (My very first videos were quite bad and with a couple of suggestions, they went from bad to tolerable, and then finally actually praise worthy).
