Rules:

The competition will run from January 20th to February 28th. All entries must be submitted by February 28th at 11:59 PM PST. Winners will be announced sometime in March 2025. Contestants from any country can enter! Note: Winnings are subject to US tax law and the cash value received from the prize may vary under US law depending on the location of the contestant. Contestants will use the publicly available and free Voxile demo on Steam to create their worlds. Contestants must submit their world file via the submission link or through email. Only a single contestant can be listed for an entry. Team entries will not be accepted. Contestants may only submit one world. If a contestant makes multiple submissions, the most recent submission will be used for judging. Any entry that contains illegal, hateful, or discriminatory content will be disqualified at the discretion of the judges. All entries must use a Size 9 world.

Scoring:

We will judge every entry based on the following criteria, and provide a score out of 100. Visuals (out of 50) The visual quality of your world, the thematic visual cohesion, and creativity using the tools and assets the editor currently provides. Are there beautiful vistas to stare at? Is there a town with tiny details to appreciate? Is there a gruesomely elaborate cave where your monsters reside? Whatever theme you go with, we'll judge how detailed and interesting your visuals are and give you up to 50 points for this category. Gameplay (out of 30) The quests, combat encounters, puzzles, and NPCs that make up your world. Did you design an elaborate quest that sends players to every corner of your island? Do your combat encounters feel exciting? Are your NPCs memorable? We'll judge how your world feels to play and give you up to 25 points for this category. Exploration (out of 10) The actual design and layout of your island is important! How does your world feel to explore? Are there paths and landmarks to guide the player? Are there secrets to find for players who wander off the beaten path? Voxile has a big focus on exploration, and players should be rewarded for checking every corner of your island. We'll judge how it feels to navigate your island and give you up to 10 points for this category. Creativity (out of 10) Finally, every island has the potential to be a unique experience. Does your theme stand out? How creatively are the assets and the level editor used? Are your quests and NPCs memorable? Does your island do something that nobody else did? We'll judge all of these details and give you up to 10 points for this category.

Note: This competition is completely free to enter and the Voxile demo is available for free during the entire duration of this event!
