It’s been close to two months since the release of Project Stratosphir, and the community has been hard at work exploring every aspect of the game since then. The results of the community’s work has been truly incredible. From groundbreaking new level designs to some of the coolest avatars you’ll ever see, the game has taken leaps and bounds since version 1.8 (the update prior to Project Stratosphir).
One of the more exciting events of the past few months was Tutorial10, the first design challenge to be presented to the new update. The goal was simple: Create a level which teaches new players what Atmosphir is all about. The community cast their votes for their favorite levels, and the winners were presented a short while after.
For those of you who did not see the video, the winners were (in order from 10th to 1st): The Yellow Brick Road (Fallenflames), Tutorial Sequence (Turqmelon), Training Fortress (TheUltimateYoshi), Neuropasta (Pukezap), Nuinethir’s Guide to Atmosphir (Nuinethir), Isle of Dreams (Drfuzzyness), Ask Stonehead! (Groud), The Ultimate Guide to Atmosphir (Cheezyboom), Tutorial Island 2 (Chillinguy), and The Sunburst Tutorial (Boberto).
Congratulations to everyone who entered, and an extra congratulation to the top three winners! Like any other design challenge, the top three will receive Atmos prizes; 250 for third, 500 for second, and 1,000 for first.
Following Tutorial10 is Gravity10. As the name implies, this design challenge is focused on the Gravity Shifter, which is perhaps one of the most interesting additions to the game. The challenge this time is to create levels which use the new gravity features in a fun and creative way. The deadline for entries is tomorrow, April 9th.
Dave (OkaySamurai) has added an extra incentive for players to participate in this challenge. In addition to issuing Atmos prizes, all designers who enter a level will be entered into a raffle to receive a prize pack from Minor Studios. This pack is guaranteed to include one Atmosphir T-Shirt (A real one, not virtual) in addition to some “goodies” as they were described. The raffle will be held by Dave, following the deadline for the design challenge. Pay attention to the forums for an announcement concerning the winner!
