Here's the deal: You submit us
your idea for a new 100 Rogues monster, and one will be chosen and implemented into the game. The winner will receive prizes and his name in the credits of the game. HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Design a
monster. Draw us some pictures of him! What's his name? Write down some of this monster's favorite things. What are his strengths and weaknesses? E-mail your submissions to keith@100rogues.com. All submissions must be received by July 11th, 2010. HOW TO WIN: Members of Dinofarm Games will sift through your submissions, and determine the top three candidates. We will choose them based on the following criteria: How cool the monster looks - we won't be judging by your visual art skills, but by creativity and thoughtful character design. Keep in mind things like making sure the monster has a unique shape/pose, or some other unique attribute to make it stand out How the monster functions - remember that the ultimate goal of monsters is to provide the player with thoughtful challenges. Examples of this are our Robot's explosive Missile attack, or the Gypsy's Tele-Swapping ability. What does your monster do in the game that's cool? Remember, it's often better to design something around its weaknesses. How easy the monster is to implement - we got stuff to do! If your monster is a giant detailed mecha that requires 80 frames of animation,
we're gonna make up some excuse for why to disqualify it (like "Mechas don't have Moustaches!"). If you can come up with a really great monster functionality that seems relatively easy to implement, you've got a winner! Creativity of Presentation - this isn't required, but can help! Guaranteed ways to get disqualified: Pop Culture Referencing - no Star Wars or Pokemon references will be permitted in 100 Rogues Mature Content - I know, there goes your "mysterious floating boob" monster idea. Once we've picked the top three candidates, we will post them on our forums. From there, democracy will take over, as the 100 Rogues community will vote on which of the three we should go with. The winner of the vote will be implemented into 100 Rogues as soon as he is created (no more than a month after the vote). WHAT YA GET IF YA WIN: If your monster is selected, he will be added into the next version of 100 Rogues, becoming a permanent fixture in the 100 Rogues Universe! Just think. People will be fighting for survival against your weird half-spider, half-robot, half-skull "Healer" monster. Note, that we reserve the right to alter your monster's visual and functional design as we see fit (but we'll mostly stay true to your vision, promise!) Also you'll win some other prizes (to be announced - probably some limited 100 Rogues merchandise), and your name will be featured in the credits of 100 Rogues. Not bad! It would be nice to specify how your ideas translate into gameplay. Does the extra-warm hat provide armor? Mr. Sad Ball-Face is great, except his shape is a bit boring. I'm sorry, I hate to do this (being that he's already SO sad), but his chances don't look good. Very Fat Soldier is not bad - we appreciate multiple drawings of the monster from several views. Please do not tell us what the monster smells like! Some things are best left unknown. We wish you the best of luck. E-Mail your submissions ASAP to keith@100rogues.com! And have fun! |
