Statville is now a year old! How crazy is that? It's been a truly amazing experience building it. Thank you to everyone who's joined so far and to all the community members that make it the great place that it is :) - Krátké a kreslené filmy
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
I agree

Statville was ruined by immigrants! I've lived here for at least 4 months and all these immigrants ruined it!!!

I do this every time, sometimes up to 3 times… (I don’t know why)

This is tradition
Would be fun to see a videogame that works like this, where you can join a city and automatically generate a house
I wish reallife worked like this
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.
@@qrzone8167 haven't played eco in years, that's good to know. Might get into it again.
Or just play cities skylines
Crazy to think about the early days when I followed and the next day saw that +2 new "citizens." Joined. And I was one of them. I'm glad to be the one before the first 500 followers.

Hope you enjoyed the recap!
There are so many more topics that simply did not fit into this video... So let let me know if you'd like to see a part 2! :)
Sounds good.

are you an ai voice
Yes please!
I would like that!
Deleting the defult cube and adding one to model is the most blender thing ever
Why do people even do that, I mean, I’m not a blender expert of any sorts
@@RadioTelevizijaPrijecani im not either, but prob out of habit
@@RadioTelevizijaPrijecaniIts a Tradition
@@RadioTelevizijaPrijecaniI would like to know to, but I guess it's like a tradition
@@RadioTelevizijaPrijecani 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.
I found the Instagram a bit over seven months ago, in June, and I joined the discord when it was less than a week old. It was a simple thing at the time, and I never gave it much thought. That is, until I started speaking to different people there. Now, some of the best people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting were met through Statville. Sam, Vaughn, Erica, Luna, Charles, Cal, Daniel, Ash, Josie, Emilia, and everyone else that may have escaped my mind, if any of you are reading this, then please remember that I love you all to death. A few little clicks of buttons have changed my life. And to you, Mr. Statville, I owe the greatest thanks of all. You've given me a distraction through some of the darkest times of my life, like being in a mental hospital and losing my father. I will never, ever be able to express my full gratitude. Thank you for your "simple experiment"
Thank you for the kind words. I am glad Statville has made a positive impact! ♥
I hate that you had to go through all that I could never imagine being in a spot like that :(
I will def pray for u.
IM SO GLAD I MET U TOO MAN
Bro this almost made me cry 😭
Be honest, is my music good?
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.
Yes! Please do join the discord server. Link is in the description :)
but what if theyre underage
@@AbyssalTheDifficulty then they shouldn't be on Discord?
i want to roleplay, what i had to do, its confusing 😢
@@whyDude123be staticen easy
Honestly that vc was wild. I’ve had so many good memories being part of the admin team on that discord server
VAUGHNN
Hi Vaughn 💜
Be honest, is my music good?
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!
ITS DA RIDDDD
I was there since day 20 or so, I'm one of the old resident, maybe Day 10 or less it been awhile now
I joined around day 60

@@ErnestColliers Hello Ernest lol
I am honoured to be an admin on our lovely discord (join it!!!) and to have watched this project grow since around day 50. this work is incredible and I am so happy to be such a big part of the community ❤ here’s to even more!
Felt that! I'm so happy to see this grow further beyond my expectations
Be honest, is my music good?
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!
Be honest, is my music good?
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.
Be honest, is my music good?
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!
Thanks for featuring us at the SPL, namely Statville United News and SPL Central
Be honest, is my music good?
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
Very cool get a glimpse of the behind the scenes of the StatVille project! You've been popping off , so keep up the good work!
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. 🥂
Be honest, is my music good?
This is actually so wholesome and nice, you’re amazing for doing this and everyone else involved!
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.
this is so cool! your storytelling is amazing and i hope you become more consistent on youtube :)
awesome project man, saw it come by. This channel is about to blow up!
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.
Been here since day 229 and it has been a hella great ride! I love how there is even a designated supermarket account run by a fan as well!
Be honest, is my music good?
Joining Statville has been one of the best things to happen to me, I’ve met so many amazing people that I love dearly, it’s just an amazing community
You are awesome man, keep up the good work!
Have been following since about a 1000, have been so fun to follow the journey. Amazing content
Been here since 16k followers and it’s amazing how much it’s grown
Be honest, is my music good?
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?
Be honest, is my music good?
This project was awesome and I have met great people on the discord. Well done, and thank you!
Been a follower of statville for a very long time. Its been awesome watching the city grow!
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.
Be honest, is my music good?
Ever since I found this, I have been in love
This is such a brilliant concept that definitely paid off with its creativity and execution, amazing job!
This is an amazing concept, excited to see what else you do in the future!
3:12 i havent done much blender but dam this is accurate
Dam it's insane how many people just arrived out of nowhere after the airport I remember being there within the first 30 followers
i followed you since your 180k subs and this really is a pleasent thing to follow
It's crazy to think that I joined before the first mass wave, I was just watching the numbers go up so fast in a few days. Keep up the good work
Ah sadly, statville is dying after they decided to make weekly reports, nevertheless, i am glad i can be part of this awesome city ❤
IT WAS YOU??!
I remeber joining statville when it had around 600 residents. What a wonderful and insightful journey it had been!!
I'm hearing about Statville for the first time and I'm geniunely impressed! Good job man
WAIT YOURE THE CREATOR?
No shit
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'll look into it ;)
Be honest, is my music good?
@@Battery_TeaHey, I didn’t see this for the longest time. Is there a lighthouse yet?
This message was paid for by the Lighthouse organization
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
It's very painful to watch the video while considering the struggle you had to go through
i want to run this simulation for myself
You're an inspiration, one of a kind, thanks!
I love Statville SO MUCH! I'm so happy I found the Instagram account, and also so glad I found your CZcams 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!
This is a truly wonderfull thing you created
humans are so funny
True, Imagine being one.
wait it was an AI voice? whatt
😯

This is so cool! I cant believe i stumbled upon this gem. I believe you have alot of potential, ill be supporting from the backgrounds!
Are you using an AI voice for this video?
Zote!!!!
@@General_NotTaha that’s me, b*ch!
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!
Proud citizen of statville!! Great work!
He deserves so much more attention and needs some subs and views! This is one of the coolest things ever on CZcams
I joined around day 80, it has been really fun seeing the city growth!
This video made me join, so I'm sure the monthly recap of january will see a LOT of growth just from this video
this is one of the best youtube videos I ever saw great job man
This has to be one of the most creative things i've seen so far. Well done
Congrats. Very few channels have convinced me to subscribe in just one video, and you're one of them.
the quality of this video!?!?!? its amazing especially considering the size of the channel. thats talent man.
been watching statville for awhile. good work my man
IT WAS YOU! Been following since day 80 or something. It's so cool! Loved the polls and voting sistem :)
amazingly cool project. love to see it!
Just came across this and apparently three of my irl friends are already residents? Absolutely joining, this is incredible
Dude the execution of this project was awesome. I loved getting a reply from the local dairy. Well done
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 ❤
Honestly amazing. Exited to see whats coming in the future
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.
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.
member of statville since 15k followers, so nice to see this
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
Having joined before the initial train, it's like a rewind, watching all of it again.
I randomly saw this video and been following the IG since 100k population, you'll have my sub
the algorithm has blessed me today
I’m glad to be one of the first few followers of statville, since under 10K
It's so great to be in this city. Well done for all the very hard work ! It's a bit sad that it's getting smaller now. And the procedural city will be so useful for some background city
insane quality bro, this experiment was so cool
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!
What an amazing project to have. I don't even know how you can handle that much city building without an automated plugin to create the city for you based on community interactions.
Damn, I keep updating your channel. You really gaines some subs with this great video!
This is the most cool thing I saw in maybe few years! What a crazy job!
It's incredible to hear from the creator of Statville! I moved to the city right before the Nuclear Power Plant was built. I hope to see more content from you!
Yo !! I remember seeing this account and becoming a statizen and seeing all the neat little updates but I didn't know there was an awesome community actually making content around it too!
I wasn't know this project, but seems really amazing, that is a lot of work
This is a great video, you must have previous experience with long format videos! Thanks for creating Statville!
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.
I always thought it was fully automated, just WOW! to automate this I was that it was hard work but to do it mostly by hand it's just insane, you're insane and also insanely good at it
One of the coolest projects I've ever seen you really brought people together 😄
This is awesome, I've never seen anything like this! And I just got it recommended out of nowhere.
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.
this is really cool! love to see new and creative stuff like this
why is this only 75k views? Bro, this is really good video. Hope you'll get attention you deserve. I wish all the best
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
why do you ONLY have 7k subs? keep up the hardwork man you'll blow up very soon!
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
