Yes, the design can be a simple MS paint drawing if you want.So, I can just * try to * draw a design? And then I post it on the submission form, and wait?
I mean, let's not fool ourselves: people won't discriminate if you post ms paint scribbles, but I'm pretty sure they make your chances negative. Unless it's actually good, which most of the time ain't true for a program that doesn't even support layers. Eh, I guess the tool doesn't matter as much as the artist, but ms paint is kinda too handicapping.Yes, the design can be a simple MS paint drawing if you want.
Pretty good. I'm happy that somebody thought about that.Slav set. Made by me. I think it looks kinda cool.
Would the ‘other game’ part not take effect if it were for a game that’s already made a cameo in terraria; e.g. Minecraft, Cave Story, etc?
Greetings Terrarians!
The development team at Re-Logic were having a chat the other day about just how creative the Terraria community is - from art to music to in-game creations, you all are simply amazing. That got us to thinking... what better way to reward that creativity in the final Journey's End update than to give all of you creative geniuses a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get your very own vanity armor design into the game itself?
That's right - we are giving everyone a chance to submit their own original ideas for Terraria Vanity Armor/Outfits (Head/Torso/Legs), and the winners will see their ideas make it into the game for the Journey's End update! This is your chance to design your own brand new vanity outfit that you'd like to see added to the game! This is sort of like finding that golden ticket and getting to visit the chocolate factory, except there is no tour and no lifetime supply of chocolate... only fame and glory and bragging rights forever listed in one of the best video games ever crafted.
As you might imagine, there are some rules and guidelines and such that are important for you to follow - however, inside of these guidelines, have at it! Anything your minds can dream up, we want to hear about it!
You can also check out the Contest Submission Thread to see current submissions!
Please note! ALL SUBMISSIONS must be posted in the submission thread! If they are only posted in this thread, they will not be considered valid!
WHAT IS ALLOWED/NOT ALLOWED?
GUIDELINES & RULES
- Only one submission per person! If you make multiple submissions, we will select the first submission made, and the latter ones will be disqualified.
- All Vanity entries must be the original work of the person submitting the idea - no stealing! (yes, we will look )
- Sprites from Terraria mods *ARE* allowed but only if you are the original creator of that artwork (this means the actual artist, not just anyone that happened to work on a given mod)
- Direct lifts/overt references to other games/movies/tv shows/etc. are quite likely to be rejected (if we have to ask permission to use it, don't submit it )
- Please keep it PG-13 - nothing profane/offensive/etc. please
- If you are looking for more guidance and next-level design tips, check out this link > Terraria Vanity Contest Best Practices & Design Tips
HOW DO I SUBMIT MY ENTRY?
- Entries should consist of a design that includes Head/Torso/Leg (aligned to those vanity armor slots in the game). We will not be including wings/dyes/weapons/etc. Sorry.
- All entries must include artwork of some kind. This could mean anything from super-fancy hand drawn art to MS Paint-level scribbles. However, the art - and any accompanying descriptions - need to be able to clearly communicate the idea. If we have to struggle to understand the concept, it will hurt your chances of winning... and trying to guess art from just text is going to give all of us headaches.
- If you have a name for your creation, please provide it.
- Entries should be submitted by posting in the contest submission thread! Entries MUST be posted in the submission thread to be considered valid submissions! If you want to discuss the contest or specific entries, feel free to do so in this thread, Discord, etc.
- All entries must be submitted by 11:59pm Eastern Time on April 13th, 2020 - NO EXCEPTIONS!
HOW WILL THE WINNERS BE SELECTED?
- The Re-Logic team will select a list of finalists from all of the entries that are submitted by 11:59pm Eastern on April 13, 2020. If this thread is locked, you are too late!
- We will reveal the finalists on the Weekly Stream later that week (April 17th) , and then we will post them here after the stream.
- These finalists will be submitted for a community vote across all of our community platforms (TCF, Social Media, Discord, etc) - voting will commence after the reveal steam and conclude in one week, on April 24th. Voting instructions will be provided at that time.
- There will be no more than three (3) winning entries.
HECK YEAH, I WON! NOW WHAT?
- Re-Logic will directly contact the winners so that we can begin the process of adding your design into the game.
- Please note that some creative license in regards to the interpretation on behalf of our artists is expected - so be flexible. (don't worry, we will make it amazing)
- Re-Logic will have the final say on approval for the winning designs (actual art and text going in-game)
- The winner's name will be included in some way in the tooltip and/or naming for the item, so that you can always pull it up in game to brag to your buddies.
- Once we arrive on a final design, just wait for the day when Journey's End arrives and you can run around in your very own vanity creation!
LEGAL STUFF
- By participating in the contest, you agree to relinquish all rights to your vanity design to Re-Logic for inclusion into the game. Winners will be required to sign a document to that effect.
- If you are under the legal age to sign legal documents in your country (eg. Under 18 in most countries), you will need your parent or guardian to sign as well - so be sure to get that permission in advance!
They'd have to ask againWould the ‘other game’ part not take effect if it were for a game that’s already made a cameo in terraria; e.g. Minecraft, Cave Story, etc?
Its a really nais armour idea bro. but sadly its only a vanity
edit: 3 people. There.How many People Will Be selected as winner!
Thxedit: 3 people. There.
That post ignores the rules twice.View attachment 245347
This is my set! The Lunar Set!
It is based around the lunar events and in my eye, is a post Moon Lord set.
Please don't judge me too harshly, and to my fellow Terrarians, I wish you the best of luck!
Wow this looks absolutely incredible! Would really have benefited from a vector rendering! How long did it take to make? 3 days?This is my design:View attachment 245352
Yeah, I realized this was the wrong thread. Oof.That post ignores the rules twice.
Yeah. A good idea is to maybe ask some friends. If they like it, there will probably be others that like it!I'm kind of baffled by people who submit OC's.
Like... don't do that. You give the rights to your design away if you win. Everybody like "This is the main character in my story" are clearly not fully thinking things through. Also people submitting OC's in general are facing the issue that like... that design is only special to you. It has absolutely no meaning to anybody else, and it doesn't make a good vanity item at all.
Yeah, you want it to be something that has appeal to people. Another really important thing to think about is how much customization your outfit enables. If your outfit only looks good when you're wearing it by itself, that's lame. Terraria vanity stuff is fun when you combine multiple different items and pimp them out to create a custom character. The best thing I've seen submitted was the centaur suit, just because you can combine that (really nice) bottom part with any torso or helmet and have it look cool.If they like it, there will probably be others that like it!
@Kefke
I'm honestly confused at this statement. Why would it be biased towards the modding community? If anything, submissions based on mods have additional technical/logistic concerns that make them LESS likely to win, due to questions of IP ownership.
A lot of the Terraria devs are not familiar with the popular mods, and since I'm estimating that 95-99% of submissions are going to be filtered out at the Relogic selection phase, so I can't really see how it would offer much bias in their favor. Care to elaborate?
The three winners will be chosen through a popular vote, out of set of finalists decided by Re-Logic (how many is as of yet unknown). It's very unlikely that that vote is going to result into a tie, and if only choosing three winners means that several genuinely good designs won't get included into the game, then well, that's contests for you.
I understand of course but all I'm saying is that it's going to be a hard choice for you guys and a hard vote for all of us. I'm really curious to see who the finalists are going to be. There are some really good ideas for vanity sets over in the submission thread.More or less, this.
I mean, I would never rule out us deciding that some were so cool that they just had to be added - but that would be on top of and not instead of the contest.
