The history of the team began many years ago when Maxim started playing Minecraft on PC and embarked on a roleplay project with friends on an Aternos server in 2018. He named this roleplay project Dark War, which evolved over the years. Eventually, it continued on a modded server, which became the primary platform for Dark War. At that time, the project was uploaded as a series on the "Extra Studios" channel. Today, this account is known as Dark Animation Studios.
However, over time, the team disbanded as Maxim had bigger ambitions than just a simple roleplay project. Unfortunately, this did not sit well with the former team members, and apart from Pascal and Lugra, everyone separated from Maxim, who was then 13 years old, in 2020.
But Maxim was not one to give up easily. He wanted to fulfill his dream and started producing Dark War as an animated series with the help of Mine-Imator. Alongside this, he wrote a screenplay of over 100 pages, which he continuously revised.
Over time, people gathered on the current Dark Animation Studios Discord server, and Maxim found new team members. Not only did Lugra and Pascal remain loyal to him, but Ben and Fabi also joined the team, assisting him with his animations.
Just before completing the first three episodes of Dark War, the first girl joined the team on May 21, 2021. This was a breakthrough moment for our team as Wolfuna introduced us to Blender, enabling us to produce higher quality animations.
As time went on, more people joined, and now we have 16 team members. We are now a cohesive team that enjoys making memes and working together with enthusiasm!
