Welcome to the final results of The New Years' Games! For our final contest, we had you guys sending us your Deeper-related art and fiction, and while there was only a few of you who entered (and some of you who seemed to create entries but never formally entered the contest as per our Contest Rules), we at least got some great art out of it!
Winners
1st Place in Visual Art goes to the amazing Bee with their hand-sewn entry in the form of an adorable plush-ified Espadon vessel! Seriously, the whole team was so enchanted by this cute-as-nails entry, thank you so much for making it, Bee. ːsteamhappyː You'll be sent your gift copy shortly!

1st Place in Fiction was a lot tougher to decide on. The team deliberated for a long time but since we couldn't come to an agreement, this award is officially tied between ADcrafter's short but sweet comedy piece and Freemankiller's elaborate self-made-biome piece - congratulations, guys! You both get copies because we're indecisive!
You can find both of their winning entries here:

Honorable Mentions
There were two additional entries the team were big fans of over the course of this competition, that unfortunately did not qualify for judging given neither of them were officially entered via the comments of last week's announcement, as per entry rules. Nonetheless, we wanted to highlight them anyway for being solid works in and of themselves:
Crimson's simple but elegant little piece describes an intruiging futuristic post-apocalyptic version of Deeper's world, with some clever use of the game's own title: http://steamcommunity.com/app/307110/discussions/4/1692659769959486616/http://steamcommunity.com/app/307110/discussions/4/1692659769959486616/
Do We Really Need To Go Deeper?'s aptly named, "Mastapiece" managed to make me squirt my morning coffee out my nose when I saw it in all its glory, and really, isn't that the purpose of all art?
