In Valheim, a creative player has started making “professional” commercials for their in-game farm. These videos have been well-received in the community due to the humorous texts and a voice that fits the advertisement.
What are these commercials about? The focus of the advertising is “Homestead Farms,” a farm in Valheim. Reddit user TheNarrator11 has already published two commercials about it and is working on another part in the background.
He parodies classic commercials with his videos and appears incredibly professional. This is due to both the images shown and the appropriate voice of the speaker along with the accompanying music.
The first video revolves around beets that were grown without pesticides and only through “sun, cultivated soil, and water.”
The second video, on the other hand, is about the sausages from Homestead Farms. They are made with a secret ingredient: love.
A video takes 90 minutes of work, yet excites thousands
What does the creator say about the videos? TheNarrator11 mainly enjoys the videos and sees them as his “personal endgame” in Valheim.
In an interview, he revealed that such a commercial takes about 90 minutes of work. He records the video himself and also speaks the text. Only the music consists of pre-made, royalty-free pieces.
Additionally, TheNarrator11 shared that he has modeled his speaking style after actor Sam Elliott and his accent (via Gamesradar).
How are his videos received? His first video was released on April 8 and received over 13,000 upvotes in the Valheim subreddit. This made the commercial make it into the top 10 of the last 30 days.
His second commercial about the sausages has already garnered over 3,000 upvotes and is currently in 3rd place in the subreddit with over 3,000 upvotes.
Under both videos, there are numerous positive comments:
- y6n5 is totally thrilled with the videos: “OMG HAHAHA! So great! I love the camera work, the slow pans, the lighting… It’s all genius.”
- User chaosrain8 credits the voice for the success: “This is very silly. But your voice… Your voice makes it professional. I’ll invest a stack of iron.”
- woodchipsalad even finds the new spot better than the first: “I couldn’t stop laughing at ‘something that’s in all of us.’ These commercials keep getting better. Now I want all my YouTube ads to look like that.”
Additionally, many users under the first part requested another video. They have since received that.
What’s next? TheNarrator11 has already announced a new commercial. This will likely focus on alchemy and potions, as an initial screenshot shows (via reddit).
So, for those who enjoyed the videos, more parts can be expected.
