Wow! People are having some great ideas. I don't envy Ampitude having to make a choice at the end.

Hello everyone,



Congratulations for your ideas in our previous “brainstorm” for the modules of DotE (currently being voted on the GAMES2GETHER page). Your participation has been amazing: we received about 80 ideas for the modules! This week, we would like to launch something a little bit different: a creation competition!



Indeed, we are inviting you to create hero items for Dungeon of the Endless.



You will find the details below for your suggestions!





Item specifications

• Name (20 char. max)
• Type
  
  
  • Weapon
    
    
    • Gun
    • Machine Gun

  • Armour
  • Device (anything except weapons and clothes)
• Description: short background sentence (160 char. max)
• Visual (optional): some indications for our pixel artist

  • DPS
  • Defence
  • Max Health
  • Move Speed
  • Wit
  • Health Regeneration (only positive)

Tips

• Don’t change too many stats
• For this contest, please note that you can’t add special skills to your proposals (as introduced with the latest update)
• The more powerful the item is, the more it will be rare and expensive

Examples

Please follow these examples for your submissions:



Example 1

• Name: Widow/er Maker

Steps



Here's how we will proceed:

• Creation phase: you will be able to post your ideas until next week. Make sure you follow the guidelines or you may be disqualified.
• First filter: once we reach the deadline (February 12th, 10 am gtm +1), we will close the thread and quickly review the ideas for the next step. The submissions that do not meet the requirements or that cannot technically be implemented will not be selected for the next step
• Forums polls: we will create polls for each category (weapon, armour, device): you will then need to be logged in on the forums to vote for your favourite proposals.
• GAMES2GETHER votes: with the 3 winners of each poll category, we will simply create three GAMES2GETHER votes that will decide who the final winners are.

Deadline

We will accept submissions until February 12th, 2014 - 10 am (GTM +1). This will give us a bit of time to make a selection for the forums polls!





Prize

The lucky winners of each category poll will move onto the next stage: the GAMES2GETHER votes. We will implement in Dungeon of the Endless the items of the three final winners. Each item will be discoverable in a chest, like any other items in the game, by thousands of players! And, you will also receive an awesome Max O’Kane t-shirt and a Dungeon of the Endless tote bag!
