Famana: Stories the World Remembers - 5th Anniversary Trailer
Channel: The Fifth Rebirth
Date: 2023-10-06

It's now September 30, 2023. That marks 5 years since I first set out on this ambition; hard to believe it's been this long already, but... yeah.  The entire project has diverged so far from its origins as a continuation of the History of Famana. Repeated attempts at this, then each one being abandoned.

I do have confidence that today's vision of the project will last, though. Elements of Famana that I dislike but kept in out of a sense of preserving what Sunset made... I discard. Limitations of the mapping format... I resolve this with a dual system of "enhanced videomapping" videos - like are teased in the trailer - and the project website that hews closer to "history" than to "story" in its tone.

Speaking of which:
The site can be found at https://sites.google.com/view/the-famana-universe. It's still under construction to an extent, however.
I operate a Discord server for the project at https://discord.gg/xvhe6RqDdR.

And I make this acknowledgement for this project wouldn't have reached the current state without all these individuals:
- Sunset Mapping, for his original creation of the world of Famana.
- Tesseract, for founding the Famana Continuation initiative and establishing its core elements, as well as supporting my ambition over the years.
- Cosmic Dawn/Kasso, for inspiring me to create something far more complex and rich than a standard mapping series.
- Bedzi, SKM, Yinayush, and others in the Sunsetia community who have given me constructive criticism, for convincing me of the flaws in older iterations of the project and to restructure Famana into an almost completely original conworld.
- Alternate Neutral, Dewott, and others who contributed to older iterations, for providing me with various flags, pieces of lore, and materials for video production.
- Bedzi once again, Altaic, KCM, Will o' Wisp, and others on our Discord server who worked together with me on remapping Famana and who had discussions with me that led to the creation of new concepts for Famana's history and nations.
