Report RSS City of Steam special effects competition

We are holding a mini competition in SFX, guys in SFX will choose their favorite effects over the last year. Now we have Lina's and Sun's.

Posted by on

We talk to the guys in SFX last week, trying to get their input on the Art Dev Journal and I wanted Lina to give me her favorite personally created effects over the last year. Qing chimed in saying his were obviously better. This got me thinking… why not get your opinion? A little healthy competition couldn’t hurt anybody.

This is how it’ll go. This week you can take a look at Lina and Sun's personal picks and vote for your favorite.

Next week we’ll post Qing’s. Lastly, I’d like you to all vote for the best out of the three final choices.
Then I can go over to SFX and present the glorious prize of a hardy handshake and a pat on the back… yeah, we’re cheap, I know. But the winner can gloat, and isn’t that worth it?

Feel free to request a different angle or an in-game as it is really hard to represent SFX in a screenshot. It is always fun to take a simple comment and blow it out of proportion for my and your amusement.

You can find all cool speicial effects created by Lina and Sun by visiting the two threads that contain their effects respectively.
