The Survive the Editor contest has begun

(Grand Prize winner earns this majestic trophy)

Now that Revamped Reality is out, we have more news... Survive the Editor starts this week!

Survive the Editor is a 3-week long Distance level creation contest. We're so excited to be working with members of the community to bring you a fun competition with amazing prizes!

Running from Oct. 3rd to Oct. 24th, weekly winners will be chosen during the "Speedy Saturday" multiplayer meetup. Each week we'll announce a mode and theme, and it's up to you to create a level that impresses both our judges and the community.

Official website (with prizes):

TL;DR:

STEP #1: CREATE A LEVEL

Each week we'll announce a new track type and theme. It’s up to you to create a track of that type, in-theme, and submit it before Saturday.

STEP #2: UPLOAD TO STEAM WORKSHOP

Once you're done, click Save & Publish to Steam Workshop from the Editor tab. Feel free to update your level as much as you like up until the 11:59pm deadline. Also make sure that your level is properly tagged by placing "[STE]" at the start of your level's name!

STEP #3: JOIN SPEEDY SATURDAY

Speedy Saturday is a community-run multiplayer meetup. Players come together to hang out and play Distance multiplayer from 11am - 1pm PST each Saturday. Simply start Distance, go to Arcade > Online, and either join a server or start one with "Speedy Saturday" in the server name. We'll be streaming, so if even if you don't feel like playing you can still join in the fun!
