Channel History[]
Pre-Channel Creation[]
NovoGranada first watched Mapping in October 2018, the first mapper he watched was Danzig HD Mapper, he would later watch other Mappers like Key Phard, GGG502, and Luke Mapper. He would eventually get bored and stop watching them.
NovoGranada rediscovered mapping in September 2019, in which he would watch CosmicMapping. He did not have a complete interest in joining the community yet, but was mind-blown by his videos. It would not be until he watched a countryball mapper named Canadian Mapping, that motivated him to join the mapping community.
NovoGranada would at first draw countryballs on Autodesk Sketchbook, and then start to draw maps on Paint3D. He would then use an Web-Based photoshop called FreePhotoTool. His use of these programs would become obsolete when he started to use Paint.Net
In January 2021 he started steps to creating his channel. (He did not have one yet) And on Late March 2021, he started to watch Odrysian Mapper. Which gave him an excess boost of motivation.
Channel Creation and Early Carreer[]
He created his channel exactly on May 29, 2021. Starting as "New Granada Mapper." And immediately after he started working on his first video. Alternate Future of Europe: Episode 1 - Resurgence. Which didn't gain popularity at first, but would start to after creating his second video: Alternate Future of Europe: Episode 2 - Change of Events. This video would gain him the attention of some larger mappers.
Transition from FilmForth to Windows Movie Maker[]
Once he uploaded his third video, Ethan and Braden Productions gave him the download link to Windows Movie, which he thanked Ethan and Braden for and even gave them a shoutout for on His WW1 Video. And his use for FilmForth became obsolete.
Rising and Improving[]
On his fourth episode of AFOE he completely adopted a new mapping style. Which included physical maps and water textures. When he started his AHOE Congress, he stopped using circle tool. And he started to zoom in to where the war was being fought in his videos. When he reached 300 subscribers he revealed his voice.
Name Changes[]
On November 23, 2021, New Granada Mapper renamed himself to GranadineHD Mapping, the "HD" was removed a few weeks later.
On November 3, 2023, the name was changed again to "NovoGranada" his reasonings were that 1: "Granadine" sounded too similar to the well-known company "Grenadine" and 2: NovoGranada was the original iteration of his username.
