TibiaQA.com is happy to announce the fansite item design contest! The goal of this contest is to create a fansite item that will represent the TibiaQA.com fansite and that will be used as a prize for future fansite contests.

Contest rules:

  • the contest runs from 4. January 00:01 CET, and the entries are accepted until 2. February 23:59 CET
  • the fansite item suggestions must be posted as an answer to this topic
  • the fansite item suggestions must comply with the technical/content details provided below
  • the fansite item must somehow refer to TibiaQA but it's up to the contestant to decide on the final suggestion and design; Will it be a golden question mark? An emblem of the best answer? A scroll of a perfect question? Everything is up to the contestant and own, creative ideas are most welcome
  • there's no limit to the number of suggestions one player can make
  • only complete entries (graphical item design + description + weight) will be considered as valid entries
  • requests for clarification can be made as comments to this topic; answers should only be used to submit a contest entry

Technical/content details:

  • size: 32 x 32 pixel
  • it can be animated but may contain 64 frames at most
  • each frame can have a different exposure time (which is usually at around 100 to 200 ms per frame)
  • if you want pauses within the animation, do not include the same frame multiple times in a row, but instead increase the exposure time for this specific frame
  • it needs to be on a transparent background (1-bit transparency only)
  • if it is animated, you only need to supply an animated GIF of the item; otherwise, it needs to be saved as a 24bit PNG file
  • it needs to fit into Tibia's setting
  • it should not contain any direct references to a country, e.g. a Brazilian flag
  • it's a deco or fun item only, it will not change any character skills or stats
  • it needs to be a takeable item, for example, it cannot be solid furniture, but a bedside lamp would be alright
  • it needs to have dark outlines
  • it shouldn't be too different from other Tibia items

The entry should contain the following elements:

  • the graphical design
  • the item description
  • weight
  • optionally, an explanation of behavior when the item is used (one of: makes a sound, has small effects, is rewritable)
  • optionally, a color of the light it makes (if the item glows in the dark)

Winners selection:

  • the three winners will be selected solely by the TibiaQA.com team
  • the winning entries will be forwarded to the content team for verification
  • if the first choice entry cannot be implemented, the second choice entry will be verified, and if it also cannot be implemented, the third choice entry is verified

Rewards:

  1. fansite item (once it's in game) + medal of honour + 30 days of premium time
  2. tome of choice + royal medal
  3. yellow rose + heavy medal

Disclaimer

  • The item design and the proposed item description and behavior are a subject to change both by TibiaQA.com team and CipSoft before they are implemented in game
  • An author of the entry that wins and makes it into the game will need to sign a disclaimer that the artwork belongs to him and that he grants CipSoft the rights to edit and publish it.

Update 8 Jan 2019: Plagiarism will not be tolerated! As stated above, the winner has to sign, that the entry belongs to them. If any entries are found to contain stolen content (either as a whole or even small parts), they will be immediately disqualified.

Good luck!
The TibiaQA.com team.
