I've written this story in various forms over the past fifteen years, it even appeared as the last chapter in my book of Eve fan fiction "Empyrean Chronicles" as the last chapter. I've always wanted to take the time to revise it and narrate it in video form, but just never had the motivation to do so. I appreciate that this isn't a normal story, but I've always been fascinated by the concept of the 'last kill' that ever happens in New Eden - and this is my way of telling that story.

I hope this submission inspires others to take a stab outside of their comfort zones and create something both personal and creative. But most of all, I hope you enjoy this little tale. I certainly hope I'm still playing Eve thirty years from now.

This is a video based on EVE's escalation sites - and how you shouldn't misjudge what lies within.

I would also like to note that alot of the soundtracks you hear are original OST from EVE Online

__________

What began as a routine battleship escalation quickly spiraled out of control. The plan was simple - run it the usual way - but the Angels had other plans. In moments, the fleet lost two high-value faction battleships.

Frustration turned to rage, and the call went out: overkill on a massive scale. What followed was a dreadnought drop so excessive it bordered on madness - risking over 100 billion ISK in assets, burning millions in fuel, and tempting every potential ganker in the region… all for a paltry 1.5 million ISK in loot.

Sometimes in New Eden, it’s not about profit. It’s about sending a message.

Dive into the cinematic storytelling of this scenario. Tales of New Eden is a cinematic storytelling series that brings the chaos, beauty, and daring moments of EVE Online to life. Each story is inspired by true events in-game, retold from the perspective of those who lived them.

Used ElevenLabs to Text to Speech AURA's voice (Our beloved EVE Online companion) for two lines.
Used official CCP Games visuals, music and sound effects in the production of this.

Alex Sinclair  - question for you. I have a previously written fanfic piece (in text format) that is already online. As you are wanting a video for this submission, would it be ok to use that at a base narrative and then translate into a longer form video with me narrating it?

Alex Sinclair's avatar

Hey FUN INC. Thanks for checking! Short answer: yes!

Our general rule for content that's already won prizes is that it needs transformative extra content to win more, and turning text into video counts as transformative in our eyes. So as long as the story is relevant for this reward brief (your playstyle), then go for it!

How long should the video be? Like 4 or 5 minutes?

I'm working on a script

Alex Sinclair's avatar

No strict minimum or maximum length for this one, but anywhere between two-to-ten minutes should be great. Thanks for checking o7

Alex Sinclair Hmm, would a an RP based battle report count? Basically my playstyles in battles now is recording and adding a commentator, just like "The Scope" in EVE. So it revolves around RP while the guy talks - as if he's an actual guy there. Its quite fun, considering my channel is revolved around a fan-fiction style gameplay, not embodying as a player - but more as a faction/entity that provides for players and my corp

Just wondering incase it passes or if I need to hop on some writing and film something

Hey DamianWarlock - apologies for my slow reply to this. I've thought about it, and while we're usually pretty lenient with creative interpretations of the brief, I think in this case that probably wouldn't fit the bill, because even though it was role-played, it wouldn't be 'fiction'. If it was fiction based around a real in-game event, that'd be fine. Hopefully that doesn't put you off entering. o7
