Wil jij je creativiteit de vrije loop laten gaan, jouw bouwsel vereeuwigen in een gigantische game en daar ook nog eens een mooi zakcentje mee verdienen? Let dan goed op. Star Citizen-ontwikkelaar Roberts Space Industries organiseert namelijk een supertoffe wedstrijd voor de creatieve geesten onder ons.
In samenwerking met Alienware, AMD, Autodesk, Crytek, Cologne Game Lab, Wacom en YouTube organiseert Roberts Space Industries een wedstrijd waarbij spelers hun eigen ruimteschip moeten ontwerpen, Degene die het beste schip in elkaar flanst, wint 30.000 dollar. Roberts Space Industries vertelt:
A preliminary challenge involves the making of a fully designed wave particle cannon, submitted via a YouTube video to a nine member judging panel including Chris Roberts and other members of the CIG design and art team, Crytek and even some to-be-named celebrity judges. Those initial entries will be narrowed down to a final 16 and one of the 16 will be voted on by Star Citizen backers. Then those 16 teams will embark on making their Starship entries. Beginning January 31, 2014, episodes of The Next Great Starship will air once a week on the Roberts Space Industries™ (RSI) YouTube channel with each team providing a work in progress update to the judging panel. Judges will eliminate teams down to a final two which will compete live in front of the judging panel and the community during the final episode that takes place June 8 in Los Angeles.Van 31 oktober tot en met 31 december kun je je inschrijven voor de wedstrijd. Ben je niet de beste? Niet getreurd: ook de troostprijzen zijn zeker niet mis.
