Now that Published Adventures are live in Creativerse, we can't wait to see what you all come up with. And we're willing to sweeten the pot with a totally insane, off the ladder-coaster contest!
This is no ordinary contest. This is...
Combeau's Super Adventure Contest!
Combeau has decreed the theme for this contest is “I wanna play that again”. We couldn’t get him to be more specific, so we’re rolling with it. If your adventure is good enough to play twice*, it’s a contender for the win. Speaking of which...
TEN winners will receive a $25 Steam gift card and have their adventure featured on our main menu! They’ll also get a Creativerse Pro key and 2000 coins.
All the particulars are below. Frankly, the stakes have never been higher. If you call yourself a Creatifriend you owe it to yourself to consider entering.
--The Playful Team
All The Particulars
Rules & Guidelines
- Publish an adventure and reply to this post with your adventure’s share link (click the 'share' icon on your adventure's main menu panel to grab that URL).
- You can also tweet your adventure’s share link with the hashtag #creativersecontest (make sure you’re following us so we can DM the winner’s deets).
- Deadline for entries is Monday, April 10 at noon CBST (Combeau Standard Time...sorry, he insisted; that converts to roughly 1:37pm Central US time).
- All aspects of the adventure will be judged, including title, screenshots and description in addition to gameplay and replayability*. Follow these suggestions for a competitive edge…
- Avoid excessively lengthy adventures. If it takes more than 15-25 minutes to complete, it’s too long.
- Playtest your adventure before submitting it. Even better: have other people playtest it. Figure out where they get stuck or frustrated and refine those sections.
- Mazes are fine, but consider using a variety of blocks and/or decor so each hallway doesn’t look the same. Also, avoid having large portions of your adventure be so dark you can’t even...
- Submitting an adventure we've already featured on the main menu is fine, but you may want to consider updating it somewhat to keep it fresh and competitive.
- Limit one entry per person.
- Combeau will allow you to work together with others, but the prize will go to the person who submitted the winning entry. It's up to the winner to share their prize.
- Make sure you’ve registered your e-mail in Creativerse so we can contact the winner about that sweet sweet loot.
- Employees and family of employees of Playful may not participate (mea culpa, Domthro).
Prizes
At an undisclosed time after the April 10 deadline, and under the direction of Combeau the Contest Master**, we will announce our TEN favorite entries. We will then contact the creators to arrange for delivery of the following…
- One $25 Steam gift card
- One Creativerse Pro DLC key
- 2000 game coins
- Featured adventure placement on the main menu
*Replayability doesn’t necessarily mean it needs to include alternate routes/experiences to be deemed worth playing again. It could also simply be an awesome singular experience.
**Who may or may not be a figment of our producer’s imagination...
