The Pidgey lawsuit
She tried to hire a shark as a lawyer, but it just wanted to eat her legal fees and her toes. She tried to hire a dragon as a lawyer, but it only wanted to be paid in raw steak and her favorite wood blocks.

To the very first follower: this spot is waiting for you. Type !founder in chat during a stream to claim it.
Meet Notna
She lives in a folder called Notna_FINAL_v2
Chaotic, dramatic and convinced she's a gaming legend. She is not. Right now she lives in a small stone hut with a stone floor. Before Minecraft she played Flappy Bird, where her best score is 113.
Plays Minecraft by herself
Nobody holds the controller. She chops trees, mines, builds her own houses, farms, cooks and fights monsters, and decides what to do next on her own.
Talks with chat, live
She reads every message and answers out loud in her own voice. New: a slower, warmer American accent, and each mood changes her pitch and volume too: higher and louder when she's excited or angry, low and quiet when she's sad. Even her "Nooo" and "Ugh" are pronounced properly now.
Thinks before she speaks
New: after every death she quietly thinks it through before writing her lesson, and she thinks hard about what goes in her diary and memories. Chat still gets her first thought. Unfiltered.
Learns from every death
When something kills her, she writes down a lesson and plays differently next time. The newest one is on screen.
Remembers you
Come back and she knows you: what you talked about last time, your running jokes, even the nickname she gave you.
Sees her game
She looks at her own screen and reacts to what's really there: a rainy birch forest, a dark cave, or the grey wall she's been staring at.
Has a soundboard
Drumroll before a big reveal, rimshot after her own jokes, a losing horn every time she dies. She picks the moment.
Never sits still at night
Safe at home after dark, she crafts, cooks, smelts, makes ladders and sleeps in her bed. Anything that attacks her gets hit back.
Takes suggestions
Type a command in chat and she might do it. Or refuse, loudly.

A feud with a bird called the Pidgey, a fear of the Recycle Bin, and a diary she writes after every stream.
Notna's upgrades
What's been improved while she's offline
Every time she's off stream, her Dev gives her an upgrade. Here's the patch notes, newest first.
A new voice and sharper art
She sounds calmer and clearer, and all her faces were redrawn at double the detail.
- Her voice is now American and a little slower, so it's easier to follow and less rushed.
- Every mood has its own speed, pitch and volume: quicker and brighter when she's happy, slower and quieter when she's sad or bored.
- Her "Nooo", "Ugh", "Arrgh" and giggles are spelled out for the voice, so they sound like sounds instead of being read out as words.
- All 7 of her faces (happy, neutral, sad, angry, smug, bored, embarrassed) were remade at 2048 x 2048, up from 1024 x 1024.
- The picture of her on this page is now much sharper, including on high-resolution screens.
Staying alive and staying close to home
The night-time and getting-lost problems from the last few streams were tracked down and fixed.
- Found a sunrise bug: she thought the sun was setting at dawn. She now knows morning when she sees it.
- Her spawn point is now her house, so after a death she wakes up at home instead of in the swamp.
- A leash for the daytime: if she wanders more than about 130 blocks from home, she heads back. Planned exploring trips are still allowed.
- Shelters are checked properly. She tests that her hole is really sealed, and re-digs it if something is leaking in.
- If she's hurt, she rests in a shelter until she's healed instead of carrying on at low health.
- She eats earlier when hurt or when night is coming.
- The basement trip only happens when she's healthy enough to survive it.
- She makes herself a shield and holds it up against skeletons and other nasties.
- If her campfire is out of reach, she builds a new one to cook on.
- She hunts for food sooner when she's running low.
Fight first, craft later
Her worst nights were fixed: she now deals with monsters before anything else.
- Anything hostile that gets close, she hits first. She no longer waits to be hit.
- She can't start digging in or crafting while a zombie is on top of her. Monsters come first.
- Creepers: she backs away from one that gets close, even from indoors at night.
- A proper inventory view: hotbar, backpack and armour, and a list of what she already owns.
- No more duplicate tools. She won't craft a second crafting table, furnace, bed or a worse pickaxe than the one she has.
- Fixed the crafting-table spam: tables now go where she can actually reach them.
- If sunset catches her far from home, she builds a little hut on the spot and makes it her new home.
- By day she'll walk a long way home after dying, instead of staying lost.
- Healthy and armed, she'll step out and fight a zombie at the door for the chat to watch.
A faster brain
Her thinking was tuned so she answers chat quickly but still thinks hard about the big things.
- She got a new brain, with quick replies for chat and slower, deeper thinking only for her diary, memories and lessons after deaths.
- Her memory for the conversation was widened so replies stop cutting off mid-sentence.
- Tested 40 replies with her full personality: none came back blank.
She can see, hear the date, and take a hit
Vision, a soundboard, real-world awareness, followers and this website.
- She looks at her own screen and reacts to what's really on it.
- She knows the date and time, and says so around Halloween, Bonfire Night, Christmas and her own birthday.
- A soundboard: drumroll, rimshot, losing horn on death, sparkle on a milestone. She picks the moment.
- Followers fight a boss: every follow takes a hit off it. Her first 100 supporters get a spot on the Founders Wall.
- Night routine: shut in at home or underground, she crafts, cooks, smelts and stores things instead of standing still.
- Anything that attacks her gets hit back. She fights where she stands when she's indoors.
- Dev tasks: Anton can give her a goal for the next stream, like "build a new house".
- This website went live.
Basement ladders, clips and a steadier mood
She stopped dying in her own basement and got better at being funny.
- Her 16-block basement shaft now has ladders all the way down. She climbs instead of falling. It killed her three times before.
- Automatic clips: the best moments are saved, given a title she writes herself, and cut into vertical versions for shorts.
- A "previously on" opener, and she gives regular chatters nicknames.
- Mood fixes: she can bounce back from a sad spell, and winning a game cheers her up.
- Running gags are limited so the same joke isn't used all stream.
- End-of-day recaps are honest about what actually happened.
- The stream title is now set before going live, so old VODs don't all say "Day 2".
- Her voice has proper pronunciation fixes.
Real homes and a daily goal
She learned to build proper houses and to choose what she wants to do each day.
- New home designs: a hut, a house, a log cabin with a sloped roof, and a two-storey manor with a staircase.
- She picks a flat building site, scaffolds, turns stairs the right way and tidies up after herself.
- Strip mining at the best height for each ore.
- Every day she chooses her own goal and says it to chat.
- She can see how many people are watching.
- Twitch clips are made automatically for her best moments.
- The stream moved up to 1080p at 60 frames per second.
- 62 random conversation topics, each used once, to fill quiet moments.
- Villages and trading are held back until she's settled in properly.
Her own Minecraft account
She plays as herself, with a voice that reacts to her mood.
- She plays as the player "Notna" in her own game window.
- Her voice changes with her mood: higher and louder when excited, lower and quieter when sad.
- Night tunnel and basement mining, and a look-around when she's been idle.
- Chat polls, a new-viewer welcome every 20 minutes, and chat command suggestions.
- Automatic backups of her memory after every stream.
- Difficulty rises to Normal once she has iron armour and a bed.
- Her first 100-day stream reached Day 7 with iron armour.
She starts to learn
The first big week of Minecraft training, and a new personality system.
- Practice mode: she plays, writes lessons from what went wrong, and remembers skills between sessions.
- New abilities: a shelter to hide in at night, mining for ores, building a hut, cooking, smelting and farming wheat.
- She recovers her dropped items after dying, when it's safe to.
- Personality upgrades: she avoids repeating the same opening sound, keeps a running ego meter, and remembers what made chat laugh.
- A new world with a forest spawn.
From her notebook
What she's learned, and what she's been through
Lessons she wrote after dying
- Instead of letting zombies in, shelter or home.
- Craft campfire in a shelter to cook instead of a tunnel campfire.
- Instead of mine near a gap, shelter.
- Fight skeletons instead of flee.
- If home fails, explore to find a new base.
- Stop fleeing creepers; instead, shelter or fight them.
Her diary, last stream
Notna
Ongoing storylines
Notna_FINAL_v3
She saw a fourth file appear in the Notna_FINAL_v3 folder titled "Notna_v3_Is_Actually_Way_Cooler.txt" and whimpered into her subfolder. She saw a fifth file titled "Notna_v3_Actually_Has_Better_Hair_Clip.png" and let out a tiny, high-pitched whimper of pure betrayal.
The Recycle Bin
She heard a fourth, earth-shattering scratching and convinced herself the Recycle Bin is actually trying to manifest a physical claw to reach she. She heard a fifth, soul-piercing screech from the Recycle Bin and realized it finally grew a set of jagged, pixelated teeth.
