Today marks three years since DEADBOLT’s release, and for a relatively unknown videogame, I'd say keeping its players for so long is a pretty good record.
Last time we hosted a Q&A, and while that was interesting, it felt like we could have done something that involves the community more, so we’ve decided to up our game with…
The difference between a regular MotW and this contest is that here you’ll get actual prizes as opposed to just a writeup about your map and a unique role in our Discord server
The contest’s submission period will last from March 14th, at this very moment, until March 21st, 12pm PST. (or 12:00 by the 24 hour system)
Much like DEADBOLT was Hopoo's attempt at creating a very different experience to Risk of Rain, this contest is focused on creating a level that deviates from the usual standards of level design: turn the Reaper upside down, emphasize verticality in your design, create a devious puzzle – go weird, go wild, and unleash your inner chaos to create something that truly stands out from DEADBOLT’s usual gameplay style of shooting dudes in buildings.
The rules are as follows:
If there’s any confusion, be sure to contact JAG or Square_Rabbit on the Discord server to clear things up.
I’m sure you’re eager to hear why you should bother entering this contest, and you have good reason to, because the first place winner will receive a Risk of Rain 2 Steam Key!

We'd like to note that you'll only get the key on the release date, so you'll have to wait a bit after the contest ends.
We’ve also got 5 codes for the DEADBOLT Soundtrack, redeemable at https://chrischristodoulou.bandcamp.com/yum for runners-up.
If you’ve reached the end here, you’re probably eyeing that Steam Key, huh? Either that or you just really like reading our posts, in which case, thanks! Whatever it may be, you now know that you’re one weird level away from nabbing a free game, so be sure to make us question your sanity with whatever you come up with.
May the weirdest win!
