Hello. I want to officially start the first modding contest of Rogue: Genesia.

The theme of the mod creation contest is:

challenges

(No secrets there, I've already talked about it previously)

The contest is open until Sunday, 6th October at 6pm GMT/ 2pm EST/ 11am PDT

To participate:

publish your modded challenge on the workshop and fill out this google form with the link to your mod: https://forms.gle/kBb42DDeXUxqpYM68 No limits on the number of entries.

How are the winners chosen

The contest will have 2 categories, "Normal challenge" and "Hardmode challenge." Normal challenge and Hardmode challenge will be judged on:

• How fun they are.
• How they push the player to change their way of playing the game.
• How balanced they feel (Hardmode ones should still be possible to complete).
• How original they are (surprise me).

Following feedback from the previous Monthly Devblog, there won't be any cash prize to win, and the contest is there for people to have fun!

If you need help on mod creation,

• I've written 2 guides about it:
  • First guide is on how to create mods: https://github.com/PlexusDuMenton/RogueGenesiaExampleMod/wiki/Create-your-first-mod
  • And a guide specialized in how challenges work and how to create them: https://github.com/PlexusDuMenton/RogueGenesiaExampleMod/wiki/How-to-create-Modded-Challenges
• You are also more than welcome to reuse code/learn from the example mod source code:
  • https://github.com/PlexusDuMenton/RogueGenesiaExampleMod/blob/main/ExampleMod/ModContent/ExampleModdedChallengeModifier.cs
  • https://github.com/PlexusDuMenton/RogueGenesiaExampleMod/blob/main/ExampleMod/ExampleMod.cs#L174
• If you have any additional questions or think something is not clear in the guides, you are more than welcome to either write a comment or send me a message on the game's discord.
