Community Contests - 🎃 Scoobtober & Summer Splash 💦

[h3]🦇 The Scoobtober Community Contest has arrived![/h3]



Along with the launch of the Scooby-Doo DLC a new Community Contest (sponsored by Logitech G!) appeared!

This Community Contest is all about designing the ultimate villain’s hideout - a place worthy of a true mastermind. Think secret laboratories, haunted halls, mysterious libraries, or shadowy dungeons where dark plots are hatched.

A house where even the most notorious antagonist would feel right at home - eerie yet elegant, wicked yet welcoming.
Let’s be honest... even villains need a little coziness and comfort while they plan their next grand scheme!

Join the Scoobtober Community Contest!
Lasts till the 23rd of November! 23:59 CET! Hurry up!

[h3]🏆 And the grand winner of our last contest is...[/h3]

Oh boy oh boy, what a contest that was!
The Summer Splash Community Contest brought incredible projects, outstanding competitors, and a prize unlike any other!

This contest was most likely the biggest jump we've seen in terms of the level of play.
In fact, we had to prolong the evaluation process and realized we needed to include additional members on the jury board. The fact that there could only be one winner made the decision even tougher, but HERE WE ARE!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Lodex_Flipping is the one! That's who we'll be inviting to visit us at the Frozen District HQ! Let's take a look at the winning build:

mod.io/g/hf2/m/ripple-ridge-lagoon-by-lodex

The build presents a very unique style that remains quite rare amongst the high-level contest builds. We feel it's extremely hard to work within this specific aesthetic - often requiring you to bend “standard” rules, work with unconventional angles, and find unorthodox ways to make the interior and exterior read as one.
The execution is what matters most, and in this case, it seemed almost flawless!
Huge GGs for Lodex_Flipping - that was amazing!
