Kawaiivinny is the host, creator and editor of the Minecraft: Survivor YouTube series. What started as a simple game put together to mimic the TV series Survivor has turned into a YouTube series with six seasons (and a confirmed seventh) and nearly a hundred (known) fans.
How It Began
Minecraft Survivor - Season 1 Episode 1-0
Minecraft: Survivor started as a small replica of Survivor to show to a few online friends who played Minecraft. The entire first season was constructed and thought up by kawaiivinny in the span of a few months. Since there were only a handful of friends who were interested in playing, the first series started off with 7 players. Later, the series had gained enough attention to allow games with up to 12 players.
The first season game took only 5 hours to complete and had a two page script which spelled out how to run the game and challenges. In later seasons, a few other people joined in to help with building and helping out during the game. The time to complete each game grew larger with each season, and is currently averaged at 10 to 12 hours per game.
