Unearthly Challenge has officially started!

The rules in brief:
And so Begins the Unearthly Challenge... an annual epic event between the Worlds of GameArtisans (Good) vs the Worlds of Polycount(Evil)! In this challenge, there are no stories, no time periods, no styles, and no characters. There are only two rules: Choose Good or be Evil, and make your environment Unearthly! It can be extremely beautiful or hideous, Outrageously detailed or chaotic, Shockingly horrifying or divine, Utterly angelic or hellish, or even Tremendously jolly or depressing. Basically, it's your job to create something Extreme to impress the judges, our sponsors, and of course, your adoring fans - the public.

The system will be open for entries this weekend. So get your ideas ready!

We are the good guys, and so are our lands. We must do all in our power to prevent the touch of green from touching our lands. Don't be surprised if I join the battle. Although I can't enter officially, I would still like to protect GA by being amongst its troops Good Luck to all those who enter. We are going to need it.

Woohoo!

[AdamLee]

Awesome!!

[Argon]

It's about time!!! Awesome! Hope it won't be late august, because it will be too close to school

[Rain]

Looking forward to seeing team play back into action. This looks really good Fred. Can't wait to see it start! My character inspiration folders are almost maxed out because of DWIII, but my Environment inspiration folders could always use some more love

[Rasmus Holmgren]

Cool stuff. Makes sense to have a separate contest for environment art as well, only great things can come of it, and it's a refreshingly different beast. Here's hoping the themes won't be as juvenile

[kirilot]

well this is something new, sounds awesome

[Armanguy]

Awesome stuff im so stoked for this i can finally enter

[Trigon]

Nice! Can't wait to see some details on this one. 3 man teams will be sweet too....

[Mattimusss]

This will be fun to see.

[sinz]

Was wondering when something like this would happen after reading numerous comments here and there you guys got your wish .

Can't wait to see the competition details & what everyone will come up with, (so curious)!

[TryForce]

i luv yoooo

[Taehoon]

Very interesting... Another big event is coming.~

[OrganizedChaos]

This is really awesome. The dominance war has been such a hit, I'm sure this will too. I like how it looks like teams will be encouraged for this as well. Not bad.

[Addi]

VERY excited
Can we sign up somewhere for email updates?

[FredH]

There will be only one gameartisans.org main comp before this. It will start in a week or two. Otherwise, glad you guys like this new event. It's going to be another unique idea. Environment comps are tricky, so I think I figured out a way to make this one very interesting

Addi - by registering on GA, you have already signed up for emails We launch mass emails very sparingly, so don't worry, we won't clutter your email inbox.

Rasmus Holmgren - bah, I can't promise you that

Rain - mine too

Sounds pretty awesome. Will this sit strictly in environments (architecture/terrain/etc) or will it cross over into props and/or vehicles.

Actually i can probably answer part of that question just by thinking about it. if its a complete environment then it will certainly involve props and env models. heh. no sleep ftl.

[Razorb]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! finaaaaally an enviro comp apart from the minicomp that is ! heh sounds fun and defo ace to see what people come up with if i got time ! i will defo join :>

gj fedh!
