Burthorpe Danger , an animated story

Welcome to my story!

As you may have noticed, the name is based on the in-game soundtrack 'Burthorpe Danger'!
It portrays the battle of Burthorpe against Death Plateau.

The story is best told through animation, but I've left a rough rundown of the story below which should help give an idea of where I'm going with this!

Knights of Burthorpe are planning a military mission as thunder cracks outside - or that they assume and think no more of it. Suddenly a great blast lights up the room and the furniture and bricks flies all across the space. The trolls at Death Plateau are firing catapults targeted towards the Burthorpe and Taverley towns, loaded with explosives and fiery objects. Knights run to the rooftops and return fire by cannons and arrows. A short while later, Richard wakes up at the hospital wing, comes to his senses and runs outside as he sees flames and debris everywhere around. Right as Richard makes it out of the hospital, a huge troll is about to cut him in half, but right in that moment Eleanor jumps into frame and cuts her sword right through the troll. Later, the stone mage statue on top of Warriors Guild reanimates the other statues on the roof which jumps down into battle. As Richard enters the Burthorpe fortress he notices the head knight lying wounded by the wall. Outside, the battle is finished off by the stone mage who casts a strong spell on the trolls which causes them to turn to dust.



The animated story has been in the works since June this year and is expected complete by the early months of 2022. Unfortunately I've come across many obstacles due to not having enough experience in animation.

Naturally I'll be sharing my progress on the project here, and if you have any questions or feedback you're absolutely welcome to leave them below

In game


Working on a RuneScape animation since June. Been getting my feeet wet in a new tool I've got on Black Friday. Amazing how much detail you can get out of a single cube emitter!
