Dear Retailers,
I’m happy to see that some of you have already started fiddling around with the poster maker, which is currently still in beta. Being in an early state, it doesn’t have any stock poster backgrounds yet, meaning you still have to make your own from scratch. That’s a lot of work to do each time, and that’s why I’m launching a very exciting contest!
The Contest
The general gist of the contest is simple: design your own poster background! Whether you’re creatively gifted or can’t tell a brush from a paint bucket, I’d urge everyone to participate!
The Rules
Of course, there are some specifics to hash out. To enter the contest, please follow these rules:
- You must deliver both a horizontal and vertical background, meaning 708x1000 pixels (landscape), and 1000x708 pixels (portrait).
- Alternatively you could create two banner poster backgrounds, which are 357x1000 pixels and 1000x357 pixels, respectively.
- You must use your background to make one poster in the in-game poster maker, as a proof of concept. To access the poster maker, right-click King of Retail in your Steam library > Click Properties > go to the Beta tab > switch to the Beta branch.
- You must upload your designs in the #submit channel on our official Discord server.
- You can create something new from scratch, or use royalty-free images, nothing under copyright.
- Nothing NSFW/Politics/Religion related.
- No transparency in your image, it messes with the poster maker!
Apart from those three mentioned above, you are free to go with whatever theme you like! Cute dogs? Sure. A majestic sunrise? Go for it.
The Prizes
Probably the coolest prize is that winning poster backgrounds will be implemented in the game! That’s right, you could see your poster appear in other people’s playthroughs.
Adding to that, you can be further immortalized by having your gamertag appear in the game. “How?” you ask? Well, your gamertag will randomly show up on job applications! Note: I do not recommend putting your gamertag on actual job applications.
And last but not least, winners will receive a Steam key for King of Retail to give out! It is the season of giving, after all.
Examples
Below are some examples!
I'm excited to see what you all come up with!
Have a great sale.
