#DB2016 Community Video Contest! [WITH PRIZES!]

(Faraleth) #1

With 2015 drawing a close, what better way to show our anticipation of Dirty Bomb in 2016, than a community contest?

#DB2016 is a video contest for you, the community, to let your imaginations, hopes and aspirations run wild. Come and share with the community what you would like to see from Dirty Bomb within 2016 - whether it is mercs, maps, fixes, core features, events… anything! We would all love to hear your suggestions and ideas.

A grand prize of $50 (50 US Dollars) is up for grabs, for the winner of first-place. For other prize details, please see below!

Contest topic: Dirty Bomb in 2016!

Contest overview by PixelTwitch:

Submission rules:

[list]
[] ALL entrants MUST contain #DB2016 in the video title.
[] All entries MUST be submitted via ONE of the following – the official subreddit, Nexon Forums or Splash Damage forums post. (Please DO NOT post to all 3. Every post will be checked and accounted for.)
[] Only ONE submission per user.
[] Entry must be no shorter than 2 minutes, and no longer than 10 minutes.
[] You must upload your video to YouTube, and submit a YouTube URL.
[] Excessive profanity is not permitted.[/list]
Failure to comply with these rules will lead to disqualification from the contest and possible blacklisting in future community managed contests.

Contest running period:
Contest submission deadline is the 14/01/16 (14th January 2016), 18:00 UTC. Any submissions after the closing date and time may NOT be entered into the judge’s final count.

Contest judging:
The contest will be judged after the contest closing date by a panel of judges. The following factors will be taken heavily into consideration:

[list][] Creativity
[] Entertainment factor
[] Clear presentation of ideas/reasons
[] Professional execution
[*] Video flow[/list]

Prize:
Currently there is a one (1) grand prize of $50 for the overall winner. This prize will be gifted via Paypal, so all entrants MUST have a valid/usable Paypal account to receive their winnings, should they win first place.

We are also working on securing some runner up and/or addition prizes, however this is very much dependent on contest entries. We can NOT guarantee additional or runner up prizes at this stage, however we will keep you posted should these be secured for other entrants.

Additional notes:
You can choose any video format you like for the contest, so long as you stick to the video topic of #DB2016 (Dirty Bomb in 2016).

One key aspect of this contest though, is to keep your video constructive. You can choose any format you like, that’s entirely up to you, however submissions using “just because” as their justification aren’t going to do very well!

THIS IS A COMMUNITY MANAGED CONTEST AND IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH SPLASH DAMAGE OR NEXON IN ANY WAY. IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC ISSUES, YOU WILL NEED TO CONTACT THE CONTEST ORGANISERS, PIXELTWITCH OR FARALETH.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO HOLD FINAL JUDGEMENT ON DISQUALIFIATIONS; THIS WILL BE DOWN TO THE JUDGE’S DISCRETION. WE ALSO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ALTER THE ABOVE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE CONTEST END DATE.

Good luck everyone!

Ok thats a matter of content. What about your thoughts on the framework? Leagues? What about the monetization? The balance? What are the bugs youd think should have highest priority? etc etc

Lots of things to fill a discussion video :slight_smile:

Hey there,

I was planning on making a video but now I watched the others it would simply be repeating what have already been said with a different video editing…

Because Supa basically said most of what had to be said for a Wolf Et vet like me, played for 7 years ET and not ever any other online FPS played between ET and DB so that’s clearly a Splash Damage dedication for me. Demorecorder would be appreciate and as the time passes a possibility for the community to customize the work of the developers would make the game evolove at 100% of its capacity. If the devs find a way to still make money from what they created and players enlarge the potential at the same time with everyone being by with it that would just be awesome.

APRenpsy came up with good suggestions too concerning the map objectives as after hundreds hours spend playing the objectives are becoming a bit tiring even if every match is different and you can always play with diffenrent mercs to improve etc…

As for Tommy he had a good point to about the price of mercs but in an other hand if it was to be reduced it should not be to much so it is still a challenge. And yes some more news with more often updates with half the content of the current uptades would also make the game more exciting. (i.e. patch content could only be for 10-15 tweaks instead of 50 this way you have a little something every week are two weeks.)

Since this is supposed to be a video thread I will still work on a video with the few ideas I have left which have not been said yet to show my respect to the contest makers, also my video will be to short because of the lack of content so it will be out of the contest but still I wanted to play one’s part in the contest :slight_smile:

Thx for reading.
