Hi everybody! Summer is kinda officially over by now and today we decided to bring you a couple of news that we believe are really exciting. First of all, we’re introducing a discord server to talk about “A Place for the Unwilling”. In case you have not heard of discord before, it’s like a chat that you can use it directly from your browser. We have different rooms that go from news to fan-content, there’s also space for developers to share projects or discuss gamedev topics.
Many games in development are embracing this Discord trend and we think it’s a great way to engage with the community, so we decided to jump right in. To celebrate this new initiative we’re also doing a small contest that will allow anybody to leave their mark in the city of “A Place for the Unwilling”.
Prize: Create a character whose name (and maybe their story as well) will appear in the game, either in conversations or mentioned on a document.
Contest Rules: Make either a drawing (to which you may add one or two lines of text) or a short tale (no longer than 650 words). Your creation must be about a character (made up by you) who has arrived at the city recently, just like the protagonist. You must post the result in our discord server.
Deadline: You can upload your creations until September 20th. Winners will be announced one week after that.
In order to get your creative minds working we’ve prepared a small text that can serve as an introduction:
A city of shadows
That blurry shadow on the horizon can’t belong to no place other than your destination. The City. The one thing that seems to be in everybody’s mouth lately, but how did this even happen? Cities don’t just grow this big in only 20 years, that’s not how things work but still, here you are.
Rumors aside, money has a fondness for this place, traders from all over the world meet here and haggle with both common and exotic goods every day. Those who have visited it describe its streets as pure chaos, ordinary architecture, eclectic buildings and modern elements meet knitting a mesmerizing web that not many choose to leave.
It may be because of how many cultures are tangled in here that even its community differs a lot from the rest of the country, upon arriving at this city one might even think that they had crossed a portal to a far distant land. Foreigners visiting it are amused by almost every single detail, like the fact that most mayors that have served the city since its creation had been women, something like that would have been a great scandal in any other corner of the continent, but for the citizens of this place that was just another regular event in their lives.
Needless to say, not everything has changed, some things are still the same. It doesn’t matter whether there are plenty of blooming factories and business around, society will always be divided between those who have more than they can spend and those who hardly earn enough to survive.
As the city’s silhouette gets bigger and sharper you wonder how your next days will be like.
And that’s all for today, we’ll be waiting for you on the Discord server, make sure you don’t miss the chance to get immortalized in our streets. See you in the next update!
