[TheRightHand]

Greeting Survivors!

Welcome to the thirteenth issue of the Community Crunch! To those unaware this is a topic which primarily consist of content to share, made by the community, for the community! As well as any little changes I want to make survivors aware about, which happen within our community ;).

Fanart, Screenshots and more!

Here are some of the great shots and artwork that was shared in our Steam Community Hub!

The #ARKitect award for Community Crunch 13 goes to...

For those of you who are uninitiated, 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$!

Without further ado:

First Place (A tie!): "Not-Hogwarts", by Liz, and "Arkatraz", by valoule

Not-Hogwarts:

Situated high up in the mountainous terrain scattered about the island, Not-Hogwarts is a refreshing departure from the metal that crowds our every-day lives, featuring all of the scenic beauty you'd expect from a 13th century castle, with none of the hastle of being a copyrighted locale!

Arkatraz:

When you've stepped over the line, and are finally, officially, being hunted by the whole server, hope that whoever finds you isn't this creative, because it doesn't look like you'd be getting out of this prison any time soon.

2nd Place runner-ups ($100):

"Dodo Pen":

A dodo a day keeps the doctor away, they say. Or... they don't say that, but I'd really like them to. Either way, I'd like to keep -my- dodos here.

"WaterBase" (on Official PvP!):

Impressive not just because of its scale and the difficulty of building, but also because this was accomplished on a pvp server, where sometimes it's a little bit hard to build just about anything.

#ARKArt

The second contest which we are hosting 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!

The #ARKArt award for Community Crunch 13 goes to...

Ooh no another tie!

ARKart painting tie ($50 each):

Littlekaji brings us this lovely spinosaurus, in color and high detail, too!

That’s it for this week’s Community Crunch guys! The mod spotlight got pushed back a little bit, but we have a long list of people we'll be looking to talk about in the coming weeks; some really fantastic stuff has been made!
