Hello, the SDF is sponsoring a contest. The SDF wants any artist who can to generate a vessel or weapon for Vendetta. The top designs in each class (weapon and vessel) will win 250,000c for their effort and skill.


Rules:

1) The craft MUST be original, it can be based on designs from other places but CANT have already been rendered.

2) The craft must include a specs sheet (agility, guns, armor) like the one ingame

3) Include a breif discription of your craft or weapon and what it's function is (eg. Pulse Laser Battery: Fires lasers in massive bursts to quickly melt armor.)

4) The craft can be rendered in any format and any color as long as the judges can view it. Preferrably, a .jpg file or a webpage.

5) The craft can't be totally abstract, it must be rendered in a design that makes sense for HUMAN travel. Odd blobs and such aren't going to be included into the contest.

5a) When I say odd blobs I mean just doodles and stuff. Weapons, Engines and Bridge must be shown or labeled as to their location (labeled only if not readily apparent).

6) The craft must have a skin over it and some sort of basic design. A skeleton of a ship isn't acceptable. And uncolored craft is fine but make it grey or something, adding color improves your odds of being selected.



The deadline for this is June 1st, giving you all the time you need hopefully. Post here if you have questions.

The SDF would like to ask anyone else to endorse this contest as well since the SDF can't solely give away large sums or money.

The winner in each category will be submitted to Guildsoftware with the SDFs endorsement and the artist who rendered the ship the best artist who plays the Vendetta Test!


Hopefully, with some luck, Waylon will like the winning artwork enough that he decides to place it ingame as part of the test.

PS: All submitions become the property of Guild Software and are allowed to be published into the game at will without prior notification. Entry's aren't guartanteed a prize fund, and winning entry's aren't guaranteed placement ingame by GSW. Odds are 1:12, Void where prohibited. No purchase nessicary (:P).


OFF RECORD: I'm trying to get people to submit ideas so the Vendetta Test can grow. We are all aware that the Devs are under a lot of strain and are working on getting the game running. I figured that since they didn't always have time to answer our requests for new stuff we could easily answer it ourselves by holding contests for a great new ship and new weapon then submitting them to guild as a package from the community and maybe get them in.

I really hope this isn't too farfetched to get entrys. I also hope Arolte (I beleive it was him) will submit some of his work such as the improved Warthog Design.

This sounds like a pretty cool contest. But... June 1st? That's a REALLY long time from now. Every successful contest of this sort that I've seen has lasted at most two months, usually less.

Incidentally, do I get to enter the contest? :)

Hmmm... maybe for the fun of it... I've got alot of work to do between now and then though. June 1st is actually about as near of a deadline as I can make between work and graduating.

Amusing. Thats one thing i'd like to see enter vendetta. The ability to make custom ships and sectors. Major $$ prize? 250k indeed. Lol.
