[10/21/15] Community Crunch Contests!

Hey everyone!

We're still collecting entries for both #ARKitect and #ARKArt contests this week! If you'd like to enter, be sure to share your screenshots here!

For those who aren't aware what these contests are all about, here's a snippet from one of our previous crunches:

Community Contests!

Every week for the foreseeable future we’ll be hosting two contests for our Community Crunch.

ARKitect

The first contest is for the #ARKitect award. This is a title given to the Survivor who has created, in our eyes, the best base for the week. Survivors will need to upload their screenshots to the Community Hub, both the Artwork or Screenshot section will suffice and then post them in the designated thread, it’s also possible that we’ll see the screenshots in the hub but posting them in the thread will ensure that they’ll be spotted!

We’ll be judging the bases not on the quality of the screenshot, but on the unique designs, functionality, and the use of in-game tools available to you! At the end of each week, the screenshot for the best base will be featured in our #ARKitect section of the Community Crunch and will be awarded a cash prize of 200$!

If you’re unable to take a high quality screenshot, do not fret! Just upload the screenshots you can take and your world savefile to google drive or an alternative site, post it on the thread, alongside the coordinates for the base and we’ll have a look ourselves :)! If you’ve made the base on an Official Server, just let me know the location and whichever server it is and I’ll go grab the shots for you.

You can find the world savefile in the following folder:

or below if it’s a local game

We don’t care where you build the base, whether it’s Official, Unofficial, or Local Play! We just want to see what our budding arkitects can come up with and for those wondering, the same survivor can be an arkitect more than once however we will slightly weigh our decision against repeat winners just to spread the fun around, though if it's overwhelmingly awesome for a repeat winner, we'll bow to it!

#ARKArt

The second contest which will take place is for the #ARKArt award! This is a title given to the Survivor who has created, in our eyes, the best piece of art for that week using our new Per-Pixel painting system! Similarly to #ARKitect, Survivors will need to upload their masterpiece to the Community Hub, both the Artwork or Screenshot section will suffice and then also post them in the designated thread, it’s also possible that we’ll see the screenshots in the hub but posting them in the thread will ensure that they’ll be spotted!

As always, the artwork is not being judged on the quality of the screenshot or the graphical settings used, but instead what you have managed to draw and produce using the new painting system. For this contest we will have to disqualify any work that uses another company’s IP and or those pieces which are generally considered to be offensive or obscene!

At the end of each week (This will run from Thursday to Thursday), a winner will be selected and featured in our Community Crunch and will be awarded a cash prize of 50$! If you’re unable to take a high quality screenshot for the feature, do not fret! Just upload the screenshots you can take and your world savefile to google drive or an alternative site, post it on the thread, alongside the coordinates for the artwork and we’ll have a look ourselves :)! If you’ve made the base on an Official Server, just let me know the location and whichever server it is and I’ll go grab the shots for you.

You can find the world savefile in the following folder:

or below if it’s a local game

Once again, we don’t mind where you create the artwork, just want to ensure that if you’re unable to showcase it, we can for you!

Good luck everyone! Can't wait to see what you've got to share :)

--

We'll also be accepting entries for the newly introduced: Warpaint images, human and dino tattoos/bodyart for the #ARKArt award as well as bases both on your Dinos and Rafts for #ARKitect! Can’t wait to see the platform bases, the ships and tattoos/bodyart! Would be awesome to see some new bases in the new biomes too :D!

I thought you'd like to see it and play in it for yourselves. It's cozy and fun to try and find all the hidden boxes, cool jumps and secret passages!

ARK save file; Coordinates are 27/17: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzJr2akRcL-NSlJtNkxUMjItNm8

Important: You need the roofing and railings mod installed or the roof and railings will be missing!

Here's the vid:

This vid was made with 30sec clips with free FRAPS and the free YouTube editor. :(

I would have liked to add more furniture and finish a few details. But, I've been real busy. Sorry. ;)

There is also the beginnings of my free roam Jurassic ARK at 61/34. It is interesting as it is not square and I surveyed all points so that as long as you are inside the fence everything will be rendered.

i'd like to see yutyrannus replace T rex in the snow biome, it would be an interesting change.
(yutyrannus to a T rex is like a mammoth to a elaphant) p.s sorry for any spelling errors im very tired right now.
