Assassin’s Creed Virtual Photography: 17th to 28th June Community Share 9 Jul 2024 Written By: Edited By: Aaron Young Colum Blackett Back To Database Welcome to the biweekly virtual photography roundup hosted by Aaron Young from the AC Partnership Program. Every two weeks we will be picking our top 5 favourite Assassin’s Creed shots and showcasing them on The Ones Who Came Before website, in order to promote virtual photography and talented content creators within the community. This theme has been run alongside @ UVioletra the fabulous interviewer for @ ThePhotoMode and @ NVIDIAGFN ambassador. Bianca has been a stalwart of the virtual photography community for some time now and can often be found brightening our day with colourful shots in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Bianca was also a winner in the 2023 Ubisoft photo mode competition. Keep an eye on the site as more shots are added, we are looking for captures across all Assassin’s Creed games. Tag your photos to #ACFirstCivVP for a chance to be featured. Theme: Colourful Summer Vacation Game: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey VP Artist: @ _fallenmemory_ The Ones Who Came Before Photo of the Week Judge: @ UVioletra Bianca This photography beautifully captures the essence of grace and beauty. The delicate embrace of the vibrant purple flowers surrounding Kassandra provides a sense of comfort and tranquillity. Despite the visible scars on her body, Kassandra’s unwavering resilience and inner strength radiate through the image. Her serene smile conveys a profound sense of peace and acceptance. Aaron “Tell your boss he can stick it”. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is probably one of the most colourful in the series and despite the dark undertones of the story it often feels like a happy place. The decision to bring vibrance and humour to the story was brave, especially after the seriousness of Origins. This capture shows the more relaxed side of Kassandra, chilling out on the Greek islands. She is a ferocious warrior but has a heart of gold that has been captured beautifully here. I love how she has been framed by the vibrant flowers, and the choice of outfit makes it seem like Kassandra is on holiday. A truly excellent capture for this week’s theme. Temple of Sekhmet Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins VP Artist: @ summers458 “Let me tell you of him. The legend of Siwa”. The building designs in Assassin’s Creed Origins are incredibly detailed and serve to deliver us an immersive experience. The Temple of Sekhmet which is in Yamu by Lake Mareotis features early in the story as Bayek assists an old friend. This capture has a wonderful composition, showcasing the intricate designs of these awe-inspiring Egyptian structures. The hieroglyphics look amazing, it must have taken the developers ages to dive into this much detail. The colours on show are perfect for the theme adding brightness and joy to an already exceptional construction. Vibrance Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins VP Artist: @ ISnak3I “What a journey I have made”. Assassin’s Creed Origins was the first game to feature a photo mode and allows us to express ourselves in the historical playground of Egypt. It is often stated that the Assassin’s Creed games have a solid photo mode that features a decent number of parameters for us to edit our shots. You can see from this capture that allowing your creative side to take over can produce some radiant virtual photography. I adore how the saturation and contrast have been used here to great effect. The shot is really giving that sun drenched aura, making us feel like we are really there, in the heat of the desert. Sail Away Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins VP Artist: @ SuzuhaBlack “May the Hidden One walk beside you”. The decision to add a navel element to Assassin’s Creed Origins really opened the scope of the map. Not only does the land side of the map live and breath the lives of the people who inhabit it the sea does too. Having people fishing, military boats patrolling, and sea life stalking all adds to the experience. Nick has managed to take quite a remarkable shot of five boats sailing in a row. This must have taken some time to plan or been a huge slice of luck. Either way it is a compelling capture that looks visually stunning. I love the realism of the sea and the blue of the sky, and that inclusion of a camp fire gives us the sense we are sat there watching. Sunset Game: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey VP Artist: @ AkiraAoyama_VP “You promised you would bring him home”. Sunsets and beach walks are the cornerstones of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the sense of peace and tranquillity that can be found when in these locations is quite something. I feel like this is not a coincidence and has been developed to have this impact on the player. I don’t think you could wish for a better holiday vibe than this capture. Kassandra is clearly done with all the fighting and ready to put her feet up under that tree. The warmth in this shot is immense and I like how my eye is drawn to look at the sun setting. Once again, the theme has been met in a fantastic manner showing the range of colours in Assassin’s Creed. And that sums it up for this Assassin’s Creed virtual photography recap list! Thank you for checking out the photo collection. This would not be possible without the virtual photographers out there so a huge thanks to them. Until next time keep those shots coming in! comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

The Ones Who Came Before 9 Year Anniversary Round-up News Share 22 Aug 2023 Written By: Edited By: Colum Blackett (Col_96) Ashlea Blackett Back To Database Here is a behind-the-scenes account of the different phases of content the team here at ACFirstCiv // Isu_Network released throughout the #9YearsWithTheCreed campaign, as detailed by TOWCB Community Admin Colum Blackett // Col_96 It has been my absolute pleasure to work alongside The Ones Who Came Before team over the past month on the #9YearsWithTheCreed anniversary campaign. Each day, myself and the team released varied content that honoured the 9 year milestone and the legacy we have created. For the initial preparations, I wanted to make an immediate impact in the community by redesigning our iconic logo. I reached out to graphic designer Thea Marie Rivedal and she delivered five incredible variations of the iconic TOWCB logo. I selected the burnt orange/ black version for our socials as I felt it was the closest to the official AC Mirage logo, and the black outline made it pop. Taking inspiration from Arabic calligraphy, the new design signals a change in mentality for our group, as our content now focuses heavily on the upcoming release as we approach the end of the marketing campaign. Next up, we revealed that two members would be joining our Isu_Network / AC Partnership Program: @ BunnyTheVillain and @ sirmcdonnell1 (Twitter handles). Bunny is a seasoned social media manager who will be leading our Assassin's Creed Mirage content as we approach the release date, whilst Brandon is a Twitch streamer who has currently been playing the earlier AC games. Both provide different forms of content for our community, which will help us grow as we aim to cover all things relating to the franchise. The next day, I invited members of our team to share their own community stories, and their reasons for joining the team and what they have achieved so far. It was inspiring to hear about the impact I have personally had upon content creators, who often feel that their work goes unnoticed. Thanks to the program, they are now able to share their work with a larger audience and feel a part of a global network of fans. Team member FrameHoldPhotography created a series of GIFS that flip between Assassin's Creed Mirage and promotional images for previous games, showing how the new game is heavily taking inspiration from the past. It was great to visually see that Basim's stance and appearance as an Assassin is a homage to Altair and the original game. One of my personal outcomes for the campaign was to give back to the community, so I reached out to the Assassin's Creed Community Team who have always been incredibly supportive of our content. After speaking with Community Developer Clément Dagonneau , the team kindly provided codes for Assassin's Creed Dawn of Ragnarok and Assassin's Creed Valhalla Ultimate Edition, a very generous display of support. Fellow team member Michael Smith reached out to Aconyte publishing, who were equally as supportive, providing codes for the Assassin's Creed: The Golden City E-book by Jaleigh Johnson. Finally, after launching the giveaways on our socials, we experienced a huge surge in followers, surpassing 30,000 on Twitter! I once again reached out to graphic designer Thea Marie Rivedal to mark the milestone. Huge thank you to everyone involved. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.
