Judging criteria:
We'll consider inventiveness and wow-factor!
Instructions / How to share your screenshots
1. In the game, enter Photo Mode by pressing P
2. Toggle gridlines with G
3. Use [ and ] to toggle between the Visual Styles
4. Take a screenshot with space bar (don't use F12 because this captures the Photo Mode UI)
5. Quit the game, and in your Steam client click "Community Hub" then "Artwork" then "Upload Your Artwork"
6. Add the caption "TFC Photo Comp" followed by whatever else you like
7. Find your screenshots under:
C:\Users[u]YourUserNameHere\AppData\Local\ModernStoryteller01\Saved\Screenshots\WindowsNoEditor
7. Ensure Visibility is set to "Public" then click Save Artwork to Community Hub
That's it!
We can't wait to see what you come up with! :-)
