We hope you’re enjoying the amazing Spring Update we have just released! We’ve already seen some amazing new blueprints appear in the Workshop (with the new 4k limit), from new ride skins for the Zozo to epic Steel Hydra tracks.
Of course, one of the big 1.2 features is the addition of Go-Karts; the team has worked incredibly hard on getting them just right and your guests are surely super excited to race each other through your parks. We thought it would be awesome to kick off another special event this week:
Keep Tracking!
The Go-Karts Competition
Starts: Wednesday April 12, 2017 at 7PM BST during the official Planet Coaster livestream.
Ends: Friday, April 21, 2017 at 12PM BST with the announcement of the top 5 and winner during Facebook Live at 2:30PM.
Prize: Planet Coaster goodie bag, a signed poster, a Planet Coaster vinyl, a HyperX headset, AND, your blueprint permanently featured in-game as one of the official Planet Coaster blueprints.
So what’s the deal?
During tonight’s livestream, Bo will join up with Programmer and Go-Karts mastermind, Bradley Pollard! Together, we will build the first Go-Karts track of the competition (which will then be immediately disqualified because Frontier employees cannot partake in this event [wacky]) and you’ll have the chance to ask Bradley all about the development of this amazing tracked ride. After that, it’s up to you! Design the most amazing, epic, intense, or challenging Go-Karts track and upload it to the Steam Workshop. If you want to win some awesome prizes AND be featured in the game permanently, make sure that you do the following:
- Create a complete Go-Karts track
- Customise it with colour, scenery, and anything else that makes it stand out. It’s worth noting that terrain won’t be taken into consideration with the blueprints, so don’t focus your designs around terrain editing.
- Maximum of 2,000 pieces, including scenery and theming.
- Maximum track length of 500 meters.
- Upload it to the Steam Workshop.
- Send the blueprint URL to community@frontier.co.uk with subject line: Go-Karts Competition Submission.
The Planet Coaster team will take a look at all of the submissions and pick their top 5 based on creativity, originality, and ingenuity. We will show the top 5 during our Facebook Live stream on Friday, April 21 at 2:30PM BST, and one lucky winner will receive a Planet Coaster goodie bag, a signed poster, a Planet Coaster vinyl, a HyperX headset, AND, as if that wasn’t enough: your blueprint will be permanently featured in-game as one of the official Planet Coaster blueprints.
Rules:
- Blueprints must be saved as a ride (not as a park) and cannot exceed 2,000 pieces in total (select the Go-Karts track to save as a ride).
- The Go-Karts track should not exceed 500m.
- Blueprints cannot be featuring or resembling copyrighted materials or existing rides.
- Your submission only counts if you’ve emailed the Steam URL to community@frontier.co.uk.
- The top 5 and winner will be announced during Facebook Live on April 21, 2017 and the winner will be contacted via email by the Frontier Community Team.
- For more details, please see T&Cs below.
We cannot wait what you all come up with! Be sure to tune in to tonight’s formidable live stream with Bradley at 7PM BST here. If you have any questions about this competition, pop them below this forum post. Have fun getting creative!
[heart] Bo
