AnkaTracker Announcements

Still scouring the tourist-packed, rock-covered, shady beaches for the perfect place to bronze those sweet cheeks and give yourself a tint that the Meridia Ju would be proud of? Don't waste your time searching for the perfect beach — create it!

If you like to stack those world-famous colored bricks — you know, the ones that bring joy to people ages 4–99 but misery to the soles of your feet — chances are you'll love today's contest too! We're putting your powers of imagination, invention, and design to the test!

You have until 4 p.m. (Paris time) on Wednesday, August 30 to enter a map-making contest! Take us to the most beautiful beach Twelvians have ever seen!

You will be given several pictograms and a grid to help you with your task. Here they are:

The rest – i.e. the talent, imagination and ingenuity – is up to you!

Before you get started, here are some simple rules to follow:

Your creation must only be posted in the entries thread.
You can submit as many as you like, as long as they are all included in a single post.
The post must not contain any text.
You can use any editing software you like.
You are allowed to create your own pictograms as long as they are in line with the game's artistic style.
Posts modified after the end of the contest will not be considered.
The person entering the contest absolutely must be the original creator.
Using artificial intelligence to create pictograms or ensemble images is strictly forbidden.

It goes without saying that your contribution must respect the ToU.

Please note that this contest is open to all communities. A topic in the forum is allocated to each community. You need to post your creation(s) in the relevant thread below.

Once you've posted your creation, a jury made up of team members will rate it based on the following criteria:

Resemblance of a beach

Hello everyone,

In order to address several inquiries, we would like to provide some clarifications regarding the participation guidelines:

It is allowed to take screenshots of existing in-game pictograms and trim or crop them for use in your participation. However, integrating entire sections of existing maps is not permitted.
We kindly ask that you ensure your maps fit within the provided isometric grid. It's okay if your maps are smaller than the grid, but they shouldn't go beyond it.
Adding monsters or characters to the submissions is allowed, but we will only consider the elements directly constituting the maps for evaluating these submissions.

Don't forget, you can grab the sprite pack from the previous beach contest, What a Beach! Weirdly, the winner of that contest never got the prize of their beach being integrated into the game...

I had a lot of fun with this contest, I wish I had more time to realize some ideas I had. Unfortunately, I happened to be pretty busy this past month.

Hope to see all the rules enforced with the judging, good luck to everyone.
