A couple of months ago, someone from our Discord sent me a PM with some questions about Steam Announcements. He was asking for a friend who was developing a game. Thats how I got into contact with the developer behind Artificial Extinction, a new game that released exactly one week ago. The game quickly scored a Very Positive rating according to the Steam Reviews, and its well deserved, especially for a game developed single-handedly in 14 months!
We decided to team up and were both hosting contests. Here, you can win 1 out of 10 free Steam Keys for Artificial Extinction. At their place, you can win 1 out of 10 Steam Keys for Colony Survival!
Artificial Extinction takes place on a distant, alien planet. If you want to journey there, youll first have to make the world of Colony Survival look remote and extraterrestrial. Here are the exact rules:
The contest lasts nearly two weeks, until Friday April 3, 10AM Amsterdam time.
You participate by uploading one image of your most alien looking Colony Survival world to #submissions on our Discord
Discord allows you to add a text description to images. Youre allowed but not required to make use of this
Youre allowed to use Photoshop to adjust, manipulate and merge screenshots
Youre allowed to use texture packs and mods
Youre certainly allowed to manipulate the terrain generation
Zun, Vobbert and I will be the jury and pick our ten favorites. The winners will be announced in April 3s Friday Blog!
Statistics
Work on statistics has continued, and weve made good progress. A new algorithm is used to generate the lines, which makes them much more smooth and less pixelated. Theres an option to show only deltas - which means youll see relative changes to the stockpile instead of only the total number of items in the stockpile.
Theres also a new system where you can highlight specific items by hovering over time. Last but not least, Zun did some massive refactoring to prepare the graph for other kinds of data different than # in stockpile - data like happiness.
