Modular Castle Contest - Submissions Due August 6th

It’s time for another Community Contest! This time, to celebrate the release of the full Gothic Castle and the Modular Castle system, submissions will be castle themed. We’re looking for more rooms and themes to add to the Modular Castle system to really flesh it out, but of course, feel free to bring any and all of your creative ideas for the contest, we’ve had everything from macros, to full modular systems submitted in the past. The sky's the limit!

Like our other contests, there will be winners in two categories: Best Single Submission and Best Body of Work. YOU, the community, will vote on the winners that you’d like to see included in the Baileywiki family of modules! The two winners will have their work included in the modules, with credit, receive the VIP role on the Baileywiki discord, and receive a one year patreon subscription at the Spline and Grid, tier 3 level.

Note that every submission is a candidate for inclusion in the modules, so even if you do not win the contest, you may have your submissions added if we feel that it fits the scope of the modules and brings value to the community.

SPECIAL FILES: Building Pack (Updated with Castle Walls) 

Rules:

1. Due to licensing restrictions, you can only use Forgotten Adventures, Tom Cartos, AoA, or Krager assets. Anything else will not render because we won't have the artwork.
2. You must submit assets that can be deployable into the modular world. Not full maps, but rather tactical elements, furnished buildings, or vehicles. Note: This means that they should be ready to export to Foundry as well. Transparent elements that cannot be exported from Dungeondraft easily should be omitted or handled in post processing prior to submission.
3. Attached are templates and examples for the Modular Castle system for you to use, we highly encourage designing your submissions with these in mind. Check out the template overview video to learn how to navigate these most effectively. It is much more likely your work will be included in the module, and the community benefits from having diverse and interesting buildings. Last contest’s "Body of Work" winner, Abominablerob, did exactly this. With that said, you can do anything you want. Shaftoe, last month’s “Single Submission” winner, designed custom libraries and a bathhouse from scratch that fit in beautifully with the other modular assets.
4. You can submit as many entries as you like. Each entry is eligible for the "Best Single Submission" award, and the entire set is eligible for "Best Body of Work"

HOW TO SUBMIT:

• All submissions are due by 11:59 PM US Pacific Time on August 6th, 2021.
• Submission Files should include the following:
  • Dungeondraft files used
  • Description of submissions
  • Desired “screen name” for the contest poll
  • Showcase images of the submission (jpg only, maximum of 70 DPI)
  • OPTIONAL: Foundry .db files of example prefabs
  • OPTIONAL: YouTube showcase video link
• DM submissions as a filesharing link (ie: Google Drive) or zipped folder to Zephyr on Discord.
• By submitting, you are granting Baileywiki a free and perpetual commercial license to your work. You still retain ownership of your work and may distribute elsewhere in the manner of your choosing, however, we must be able to deploy and maintain any prefabs or maps made with your work. If this is an issue, please refrain from submitting.

Conclusion

As always, Baileywiki, Zephyr, and the whole community of artists will be available on Discord to provide design feedback. Previous contest winners have had great success in taking and incorporating feedback from the discord, so we highly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity!

Once contest submissions are in, we will take a few days to put together a poll for the community to vote on the submissions and will look to have the winners decided and included by the release at the beginning of September 2021.

That is all for the business side of the contest, so let the mapmaking begin! Enjoy the process and we’re looking forward to seeing what you all create!

Best,

Zephyr and Baileywiki
