AC Community Questions: RS (WonDerNooB)

Welcome back to another article in our Assassin's Creed Community Questions series, made up of interviews with Assassins based around the world.

This week, we are joined by RS (WonDerNoob), who joined our Assassin's Creed Partnership program as a member of the Virtual Photography Team in 2025.

Col: Hi RS, thank you for joining me for this introductory interview. Please could you tell us a little bit about yourself and your role within the Assassin's Creed Community.

RS: Hiya Col, I'm chuffed to even be considered for an opportunity to join the team, and even be interviewed. I'm RS, based in Malaysia. I'm a father of a 5yo girl and 3yo boy, and I work a white-collar job so they don't starve ;D I have been doing VP since Feb 2024, starting with AC: Odyssey, and it is by coming across TOWCB and TPM that opened my eyes to the wider VP community outside of Reddit and the in-game photo-mode sharing in the game itself. When it comes to the Assassin's Creed Community, I see myself merely a contributor to the amazing VP community that helps bring out the best of the games' visuals, captured in photos.

Col: In July 2025, you joined The Ones Who Came Before's Assassin's Creed Partnership Program, known as the Isu_Network. How have you found working alongside the virtual photography team?

RS: The team is absolutely great - I find it interesting that most, if not all of us have families of our own and still find the time to pursue this little hobby of ours. Aaron's written commentary in the #ACFirstCivVP articles again was one of my first introductions to actual commentary on VP outside of the generic "nice shot!" you'd get elsewhere, so I'm glad I get to be a part of that currently.

Col: How excited are you for the future of Assassin's Creed?

RS: Quite excited - outside of the overall studio and the series' direction, I'm glad to see more photo-mode features rolled out in the recent AC: Shadows update which enabled time-of-day, poses, expressions - all of which should be considered a baseline for games' photo modes.

Col: Which Assassin's Creed game have you been playing recently, and which game are you playing next?

RS: It is AC: Odyssey. Playing since early 2024 until only recently, I've just put it down and considered it the end of my Odyssey (ha!). If my PC allows it, I'll probably move to either one of Valhalla, Mirage, or Shadows for my next AC game.

Col: Have you visited any of the locations from the games?

RS: I've studied in England, so I probably have visited some cities that are in AC: Valhalla - London, York, to name a few.

Col: Which Assassin's Creed game is your favourite and why?

RS: It's probably a common answer, but AC II was my gateway drug into the series - everything about being nigh invincible, climbing structures, the story's explanations in Ezio's introduction game hooked me in. I might be looking at it through a nostalgic lens but it was groundbreaking for its time.

Col: Have you attended any events within the Assassin's Creed Community?

RS: No

Col: Do you have a favourite Assassin's Creed community moment/ story you would like to share?

RS: I guess one of the bits of info that ties in with this story is that I'm an avid Redditor, and I post semi-actively in the AC: Odyssey subreddit - most of what I post is (you guessed it) virtual photography, and getting a large amount of engagement with the Odyssey subreddit on some of my posts would be my highlight. I've also made some friends from there, as part of the wider VP community

Col: What would be your dream setting for the upcoming AC Netflix TV show or future game?

RS: I'd like a show that is set during The Crusades - I guess something like a series focused on Altair or somebody else during that time period

Col: Do you have any personal AC goals you would like to achieve?

RS: It's VP-related of course, winning a VP competition using shots from an AC game!

Col: What would you say is your most significant community achievement to date?

RS: I think getting to join TOWCB/Isu Network would be it. 

Col: What is your favourite part of being a community member?

RS: Getting to engage with others! 

Col: Do you collect AC merchandise? If so, what is your favourite item?

RS: I don't, but I'd love to have a hidden blade or Leonidas' spear.

Col: What advice do you have for people looking to get into content creation?

RS: I don't consider myself one, but content creation to me should be quality over quantity, with a baseline quantity. You still need consistent enough engagement for your stuff.

Col: Where can our community members find you online?

RS: Bluesky: wondernoob.bsky.social
