June Contest - Design an Elite!
Hi Everyone,
Summer is upon us and we want to start it off with a contest! Among many things, we are currently designing the next world to be added to the game: Usvit Castle. We have a clear direction we are headed, but we are looking for some fresh ideas for Elite Enemies and thought it would be fun to get the community involved and see what you all come up with. We are running a contest throughout the month of June, which we are accepting ideas/submission for Elite Enemies for Usvit Castle.
Below is a sketch of Usvit Castle. It all begins with a sketch!
Here's a few character sprites we’ve created that will be coming to this location of the game, to give you an idea of where things are headed:
RULES FOR ENTRY
1. Provide a description of an Elite Enemy and include what its special attack will be. All elite mobs will have special attacks. For instance, our Pinwheel character in Usvit Depths has its charge/roll attack. The Troll in Linden Forest flings a mud pile at the player, which, if hit, slows movement temporarily.
2. Art/Sketches are not needed and are not required, but if you can visualize and present your idea, we are more than happy to take a look.
3. Entries can be submitted as a comment in this thread or in our Discord under the public Contest Channel.
4. You can provide as many enemy ideas as you like, but this doesn’t necessarily guarantee you will win. Quality over Quantity.
5. All entries must be submitted by July 1, 2023 to be considered
6. In the event multiple entries are created with very similar character designs, the earliest of all entries will be considered based on the time stamp of creation.
PRIZES
The Top 2 selected entries will receive the following:
1. $20 Steam Gift Card
2. Your Elite Enemy will be created by us and added to the game
3. Your name will be listed in the game credits
The top 3 runner ups will receive the following:
1. $20 Steam Gift Card
HOW TO WIN
1. The enemy must fit within a castle environment and dark fantasy theme
2. Creativity from both enemy design and the special attack of the enemy. Please keep in mind the characters in Soul Survivors are all hand drawn animated sprites, so if you want a triple backflip, forward lunge spin attack which spawns a poison burst on collision and then the enemy backflips back out: well it’s unlikely we would select this due to the massive workload this entails. Simple, but unique attacks is what we are looking for.
3. How much we like something. If it’s cool and you love it, we probably will too!
Winners will be announced by July 3, 2023. In the event a participant fails to respond or collect their reward, we will issue a reward to another participant until all prizes have been collected.
By participating in this contest, you are not being given any rights to Soul Survivors, our IP, of or relating to the character you design or the game as a whole. You will not be entitled to any revenue shares or additional compensation outside of what is listed in our Prizes above. Winners will be required to E-Sign a simple form that states these terms when claiming their reward.
We are running this contest because we believe it is a fun way to involve players in the creation and development of Soul Survivors.We look forward to seeing what players come up with!
We will not respond to any entries, but we will read them all. We will, however, respond to any questions you have as soon as possible.
Thank you!
