KaykyPlayGamers

KaykyPlayGamers (or just Kayky) is a Minecraft gameplay channel that started on YouTube in 2013 and ended in 2020. The channel is known for its Minecraft machinima series "Herobrine - A LENDA" which became popular at the time in the Brazilian Minecraft community.
==History==
The Channel started with a series of videos that addressed a story focused on the famous Creepypasta myth of the Minecraft game, Herobrine, which is currently incomplete, with 11 episodes, most made in 2013 and the last two having been made in 2017, which were an attempt to come back with the series. After the channel was inactive for 1 year at the time, he returned making new more modern Minecraft gameplay videos and stayed active til 2020 where he ended with a GTA V machinima video titled "TREVOR VS THE LOST - (GTA V MACHINIMA)" .
==Herobrine - A LENDA videos==
The Channel started by posting only videos from a series made entirely in Minecraft, with the popular style of machinima that was used at the time in Minecraft videos, which included two or more players on a server playing the characters and dialoguing to proceed with the story. The series focused on the popular Herobrine myth that emerged at the time.
===Plot===
Kayky agrees to go exploring out of town with Jonny and the Mayor, but the car ends up getting damaged in the middle of the road during the night, with the group being watched by the spirit of Herobrine, the next day Kayky wakes up alone in the car with tombstones of his friends on the side of the road. Kayky now has to venture on a long and dangerous journey, receiving help from several survivors to find the Legendary Sword of Notch and kill Herobrine, who is now a threat to him.
===Characters===
The series had the participation of several players who were friends with the owner of the channel to uniquely interpret each of the characters. None of the players other than the owner of the channel is known or has a youtube channel.
Herobrine: An evil spirit of a man with glowing white eyes, who is somehow summoned during the first exploration, and begins chasing Kayky's group to stop them from finding the Legendary Sword of Notch.
Kayky: Channel owner and responsible for recording the gameplay. The character consisted of a likely explorer who accidentally ended up on a dangerous journey related to Herobrine.
Prefeito Marcelo: The mayor of the same city as Kayky who participated in the first trip, and ended up being taken to an abandoned city by Herobrine, who created a fake tombstone of him to trick Kayky.
Jonny: A friend of Kayky and Mayor Marcelo who participated in the first trip, he was not seen after his grave was seen next to Marcelo's by Kayky in the morning.
Vinícius: An airport owner who accompanied Kayky on his journey after he was in a plane crash. He was apparently an expert on the legend of Herobrine and was the first person Kayky met after the death of his friends.
Bruno: A survivor whose father was murdered by Herobrine, who discovered the location of the Legendary Sword of Notch through a book. It is known that his father was Vinicius' boss in his work before his death.
Sr. Bickle: An old sorcerer with the possession of several magical amounts of healing and strength. He is quite knowledgeable about some of Herobrine's feats and accompanies Kayky on her journey for an extended period of time.
Gabriel, Skill (Skull): Called by two names and a nickname. A person in a village who helps the survivors after they were in a plane crash, leaving them to sleep at his house. He ends up leaving for the other village to deal with mineral matters, which he leaves as a warning.
Guilherme: A member of the route who lived in an abandoned town for years until he was recruited by the survivors. He accompanies Kayky on her journey for a long time, until he simply disappears in episode 10, along with Vinicius.
Pedro: Another member of the route and an old partner of Guilherme, and like Vinícius, is a professional helicopter pilot.
Marcos: A rich airport owner, who had a story about Herobrine's past with him, leaves everything behind to accompany the survivors on their journey.
===Changes===
Some video format changes emerged as the series progressed. In the first half of the episodes, the cities, houses, buildings and the rest of the constructions were all done quite simply with a lack of details on a flat map and almost all players used the generic Steve skin, although this has changed since the episode 4. The series also featured vehicles made under construction, with the most used being cars and helicopters. Herobrine was also controlled by a player, who was responsible for changing the server's weather and time. Players played in creative mode, which is one of the reasons that generated negative reviews for the videos. The series apparently never had a real script, judging by the way the story progressed, slowly and with monotonous events, such as the characters finding abandoned cities that contain clues about the legend of Herobrine, and also the various times in which that new survivors are killed or disappear very quickly. Some videos started with a simple intro of Herobrine's image with its theme song.
The changes in the quality of the videos started from video 6, where an upscale texture mod is now used for the blocks, although it was still done on a flat map, which lasted until episode 8, which now shows the players on an island full of hills and trees, and the videos are now recorded in survival mode. The constructions remained very simple.
In episodes 10 and 11, the video format underwent a whole new change, now having a more modern video look, more complex builds and camera editing overlaying the gameplay. The biggest notable change was the voice and lines of the players, who are already more grown up after the years that have passed since episode 9.
==Trivia==
*Given the fact that Herobrine is never shown again after Guilherme's first appearance, it's quite possible that the player who plays him was also the one who played Herobrine in the previous videos.
*In the videos, Kayky often accidentally calls Bruno and Pedro "Monk", which is the username of the player who plays both, so much so that he even once says during a video recording that Bruno once said that his nickname was Monk.
**Same thing happens to Pedro later on, who is asked by Kayky if he can call him Monk.
*Due to the last two videos of "Herobrine - A LENDA" being made 4 years after the previous video was posted, many things ended up being different, like the editing and the voice of the players, who were much younger at the time the series started.
*Although the series was heavily criticized at the time for the low quality in the editing and construction of the game's maps, and mainly for the use of the creative mode, and for copying another series of videos with the same name, created by the Tazercraft channel, it was quite praised over the years for being nostalgic and old, in addition to being one of the first machinima series on the myth of Herobrine made by Brazilians.
