The Unusual Village Contest



Hello all!
Just doing a minor update (I'm still working on some surprises for the future!) but I thought it could be fun to do an unusual village competition!

As you well know, Kainga is a pretty weird game, so let's celebrate that weirdness with a competition! I've spiced up this post with some past creative examples for a bit of inspiration. I'm excited to see what you come up with!

[h2]Competition Ground Rules:[/h2]

  1. Villages don't have to be large, efficient or successful, just unique looking!
  2. You can use any map, any Thinker, any technology!
  3. You can submit more than one village!
  4. It would be nice if you named the town as well
  5. Submit your entry sometime between now and October 31sr, 2023
  6. Submit images to the #share-your-village channel on Discord or directly to me at [email protected]
  7. Selection will occur on Discord on November 5th

[h2]Tips for Taking Good Screenshots[/h2]

  1. In game, press "V" to remove the hud for a seamless image
  2. Use the mouse wheel click to get a lower angle that looks really nice!
  3. Holding CTRL will allow you to move the camera without it automatically changing its height
  4. Take a picture of the village's most interesting part! Not the widest shot :)

I'm excited to see what creations you come up with! The winner will get access to a copy of the Collectors Edition of Kainga, which includes an artbook and the soundtrack, as well as the glory of being the fanciest architect in the wild lands of Kainga!
