It's been a long time since GameGuru had an official competition, so get ready for one suggested by the community and accessible to anyone who can click blocks together. That's right, the winner will have produced the best-looking structure using the Easy Building Editor, one of the recent editing modules added to GameGuru.
The 1st place winner will receive $100, with two further prizes for 2nd place at $75 and 3rd place at $50. In addition, all three winners will receive every GameGuru DLC asset pack created to date and receive a special competition winner badge for their forum profile.
TheGameCreators are looking for an amazing looking structure created entirely within the Easy Building Editor system. You can use other media to decorate the area surrounding the structure, but the structure itself must be entirely made from the Easy Building Editor blocks and textures. The final deliverable will be a screenshot of your finished structure, and an FPM that contains the finished Easy Building Editor creation (for verification purposes). The screenshot should aim to satisfy these points:
- The principal object being portrayed should be the Easy Building Editor structure itself
- Use your own custom textures to give your structure a unique look
- Place your structure in a complementary setting (i.e. log cabin in a forest glade)
- Use all the shader sliders available to create the perfect screenshot (i.e. bloom, shadows, vignette, lens flare)
- Provide an FPM that contains the Easy Building Editor structure inside it (i.e. do not save as an entity)
- The structure should be viewed from the outside, so no shots taken from the interior for this competition
- Finally, do not attach any entities directly to your structure. This is a test of your block building skills! NOTE: If you DO drop entities on your structure, you will only be judged on the structure, not the entities that augment it.
The competition kicks off today and runs through to the 17th of August 2017. The winners will be announced on the 24th August 2017.
