    Have some great visual design ideas for a cool, funny, cute, or terrifying new game item? Let’s hear them!

    From now until Sunday, Jan 31st, submit your item concepts to this thread by commenting below. The Kano Creative Team will pick their favourite based on how well it meets the submission criteria, as well as how fun and interesting it would be to make.

    The winner will see their entry added into the game as a powerful Limited Quantity item, get a free one for their inventory, and receive a package of 50 Favor Points!

    Submission criteria are below. Please read them carefully! Entries that follow the criteria carefully will have a much better shot at winning. Entries that ignore the criteria will be disqualified and might be removed from the thread.

    SUBMISSION CRITERIA

    Your submission MUST include:
    • A name for your item that is less than 25 characters long.
    • The type of item (Weapon, Ship, Matey)
    • A description of the item’s appearance that is less than 500 characters long. You can check the length of any text you have written at www.lettercount.com
    Creative names are great, bonus points to anyone who comes up with a clever title for their item. :)

    The most important part of your submission is the description. Item creation is a technical as well as a creative process. Give the artist clear and detailed information about the item’s appearance.

    Remember, we’re looking for information really makes it clear to our illustrators what the item is supposed to look like. You have limited space and the illustrator is first and foremost concerned with key visual elements.

    Tell us about your item’s shapes, colours, and textures and anything other details that make it stand out from a more mundane object! Note that item stats are decided by our developers so there is no need for you to include them in your description.

    EXAMPLE SUBMISSION

    Name: Snolem
    Type: Matey
    Description: A hulking golem made of packed white snow. Thick, powerful arms, short fat fingers, and wide stumps for legs. It has a deep chest, large, broad shoulders, and a hunched, combative stance. It’s head is relatively small and is pretty much a lumpy blob of snow emerging from its chest. Its facial features consist of 3 irregularly sized holes in with a faint icy blue glow coming from deep within.

    OTHER RULES

    Stick to one item submission per post! You can post more than once if you like, but please don’t spam the thread or your entries may be removed. Consider taking the time to polish each submission a little before putting it up. The effort shows! :)

    Don’t include any images! We’re looking for interesting concepts straight from your own imagination, without using existing art as a crutch. Entries that include images will be disqualified.

    Keep the game’s theme in mind! While we do make some exceptions, don’t be surprised if an idea for a Fission-powered Cybernetic Hippogriff doesn’t gain a lot of traction in a fantasy Pirate realm.
