    FUNPARK FRIENDS EXCLUSIVE TOUCH ARCADE FORUM COMPETITION - By TAGPLAY



    In anticipation of our upcoming iOS release ‘Funpark Friends’ we at Tagplay want to offer one lucky Touch Arcade forum member with the chance of a life-time by incorporating a theme park ride of their design into Funpark Friends!

    Further Competition Details


    Chosen by an esteemed panel of Tagplay personnel (whose credits include Grand Theft Auto, State of Emergency, Car Jack Streets, Crack Down, APB, etc) one lucky Touch Arcade member will see their ride implemented, animated and incorporated into Funpark Friends by our talented art and code teams. In addition to this fabulous prize, that member will be featured as an honorary contributor in the Funpark Friend’s credits as well as receiving a $100 iTunes gift card and a bunch of Funpark Friends goodies!

    Alongside the grand prize, 9 runners up will win a Funpark Friends t-shirt and any goodies we find around the office (you might well receive some playmobil, or a cardboard Dr Who character - who knows!? :D)!



    How to Enter!


    1 – Imagine the most awesome, fun, crazy, spectacular or bizarre theme park ride you can.

    2 – Sketch out an image of your ride and write a description for it. You may want to discuss how the ride could animate, be ‘upgraded’, fit into a theme-set or anything else which would make your ride awesome.

    3 – Submit your sketch and description in a reply to this thread. If you are having difficulties with this you can alternatively upload your sketch and description to www.facebook.com/tagplay (be sure to include your Touch Arcade forum member name so we can verify you are a member of the community) or send a community message.

    4 – That’s it! Simple,… but AWESOME, huh?



    Closing Date for Entries


    The Funpark Friends Touch Arcade Competition closes on the 5th of September!!


    ONE ENTRY PER PERSON ONLY, ONCE SUBMITTED, YOUR ENTRY IS FINAL - POST SUBMISSION EDITING WILL BE CONSIDERED CHEATING AND VOID YOUR ENTRY!

    Awesome! What is important to note is that winners will be chosen on the MERIT OF THEIR IDEAS, so whilst there are no doubt many artistic wizards here on in the Touch Arcade community, photocopied/mobile camera photo'd sketches will hold the same weight of value as 3D Max exports if the ideas are awesome :).

    Obviously however, the more informative your drawing is, the easier it will be for our artists to turn your ride into a polished product without having to take too much artistic licence with your ideas!

    Haha, well, until you see someone reply with their entry the prize is pretty much there for the taking Klemen ;). I am sure people are just working busy away on their entries; keeping their cards close to their chest as it were. Don't know if it's a very good strategy though as someone might beat them to getting their idea up!

    Hey there LOLavi, yes only one entry per person. You also have to upload a drawing of your ride to complete your entry!

    A big part of the contest is that you can feel what it likes to be a video games designer for an established video games development studio; so take it to heart! Our designers certainly aren't artists - they come up with a great idea, sketch it out, and then hand it to our artists who make it look awesome.

    So don't worry about the quality of your drawing, our panel will choose the winner based on the quality of their ideas, and then our artists will mock up their ride with guidance from their submitted drawing :).
