Hey everyone!
We're trying a bit of a different format here. This News will serve for both the Showcase 5 voting Announcement, and we'll put in the winners in this post on Friday, as well!

As a refresher, the theme announcement:

Theme Announcement

The theme for the fifth Creative Showcase is Islands.

Whether it is a single Island in the vast nothingness that is the ocean, an archipelago or something inbetween – Show us what you can do, especially now that you have access to the new partial lakes!

There is no tile limit, or required shape, you may make your scene as small or large as you see fit! We have had a lot of good feedback about the tile limits and we might end up revisiting them for appropriate Showcase Themes.

Creative Showcase Duration

This Showcase will run from November 5th 2021 until November 19th 2021. Results will be announced on November 19th 2021.

November 5th 2021 – November 15th 2021 (2pm CET) - Submission Period
November 15th 2021 - November 19th 2021 (2pm CET) - Voting Period

How to submit an entry

Taking part in the creative Showcase is as easy as uploading your screenshot to Steam and linking it in a reply to this post.
Alternatively, you can submit your entry on our Discord.

Please be advised you can turn off the UI by pressing TAB for better screenshots.

Rules

The Team at Toukana decides on an interesting Theme, which may or may not work in conjunction with new or recent content. The announcement happens on a monday in the early afternoon CET. From there, you get a week or two to enter your screenshot of a creative world that adheres to the announced Theme. After the submission period ends on monday, voting will commence and remain open until friday afternoon CET. On Friday, winners and a new theme will be announced as well.

Everyone gets to vote. When voting, you get three votes, worth 5 Points, 3 Points, and 1 Point respectively. After Voting concludes, we will add up all points and whoever has gotten the most points will win. In case of a tie, the highest amount of 5 Point votes will decide. If those tie as well, the higher amount of 3 Point votes will decide the winner. If those tie as well, the 1 Point votes decide. If all numbers match, it will be a confirmed Tie.

YOU MAY USE THE BETA BRANCH FOR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE FEATURES (or potential new tiles)

Voting Announcement

Voting is done via this Google Form! (We do not track emails or google accounts!)

Voting concludes at 2pm CET on Friday November 19th 2021.

How the Voting works

Voting is simple. You have a total of three votes, each with a different weight.
Each entry can receive one of your votes max, and each weight of vote (5, 3, 1 points) can only be given once.

The winner will be determined by the total amount of points every entry got. In case of a tie, we will compare who has more 5 point votes (3 point votes if those tie as well, and 1 point votes if THOSE tie as well). Should both entries receive the same amount of votes of each weight, they will share the tied place.
