Zeepkist News

Zeepkist now has Steam Trading Cards!!

Steam does a great job of explaining what they are here: https://steamcommunity.com/tradingcards/

Basically, trading cards are collected by playing Zeepkist, and a full set can be turned into badges and community items!

I'd been meaning to add these since forever but just never got around to it. Now that v16 is out I figured it'd be the perfect time to do this :)

Enjoy!!

Patch 31:

- Fixed an issue where missing thumbnails could crash the game during loading
- Fixed an issue where loading a level without a start or a finish could soft-lock online lobbies

[h3]THEME: Ant Sized[/h3]

Build a level that makes the player feel like they're the size of an ant with super-sized track decoration!

Looking for ideas? How about a course through a grass field where individual blades of grass are huge towering pillars or a track layout through a scaled up room in a house!

[h3]DEADLINE[/h3]

• Your track should be complete and submitted by Sunday, 22nd September 2024 at 18:00 BST
• Submissions will be combined into a single workshop item after the deadline above
  

[h3]SUBMISSION RULES[/h3]

1. You can only submit one level (you can modify or replace your submission as much as you like until the deadline)
   
2. Level collaborations are permitted (Maximum of 3 players per level. This counts as a level submission for each individual creator. Please name/mention collaborators when submitting)
   
3. The name of the level MUST start with "ZSL - " (e.g "ZSL - My Level")
   

[h3]THEME RULES[/h3]

1. No additional theme requirements
   

[h3]LEVEL RULES[/h3]

1. Scaling track pieces is permitted
   
2. Level MUST follow any theme requirements set above
   
3. Level MUST be under 4000 blocks
4. Level MUST have an author time above 20 seconds
5. Level MUST have an author time under 75 seconds (1m15s)
   
6. Level MUST have at least 2 checkpoints. Consider adding additional checkpoints for split timing or where it would prevent a cut, as cuts do not make for good tournament tracks!
   
7. Level MUST NOT have risky or hidden finishes/shortcuts (e.g blind shortcuts or using no-collision/invisible/logic blocks to hide a secret path that is NOT the intended route)
   

[h3]HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR LEVEL[/h3]

1. Join our Official Discord server
2. Upload the level to the Steam Workshop
   
3. Link the workshop item in the theme's thread in #level-submissions
   
   Don't have Discord? You can submit your entry by linking your workshop item in the comments section of this announcement post!
   

[h3]WINNERS & PRIZES[/h3]
