We're excited to announce our first major community event! We're kicking things off with a contest to create an official Greed & Darkness enemy! We're hosting the event in our Discord server so join us there to participate or check out the other participants' entries!
Design an Enemy, write a compelling description of it and create an artwork depicting it. We encourage you to consider the gameplay of facing this foe and describe how it behaves and how to defeat it in your description.
👑 1st place: Your Enemy will be adapted to be featured in the game + A Steam key to the game when it releases
💎 2nd place: A Steam key to the game when it releases
💰 3rd place: A Steam key to the game when it releases
The winner's enemy concept and its design will be adapted by the team to make it as suitable to develop and implement as possible, but we're striving to be as faithful as possible to the author's vision!
Your submission is not restricted to any particular art medium, but the team will adapt the winner's enemy design into pixel art to be cohesive with the rest of the game.
Play to your strengths! If you feel inspired to write a backstory for it, or want to focus on a very interesting gameplay challenge, or just make a very comedic enemy, focus on that! We will score each entry based on its overall staying power, not any one specific attribute.
Feel free to participate regardless of your art skills!
To participate, you must agree to some important terms and conditions that protect us from legal disputes that could result from us hosting this contest and using the material as described above. We want this competition to be in the spirit of fun, sport and most of all goodwill. Because of the fact that the winning entry will become a part of the game, we need to be a bit careful about copyright. You can read the participation agreement here if you intend to submit an entry.
You may only submit one design. Before the deadline you may replace your entry.
You must submit your entry before the deadline - 23:59 Feb 15th CET (GMT+1)
Your submission must be a post in our Discord server consisting of at least one image of your design, and a text-based description, maximum around 200 words.

You must wishlist Greed & Darkness on Steam to be eligible to win!
Creativity - we want to feature an enemy that stands out from the crowd and creates a unique interaction with the player and feels original.
Feasibility to develop and implement - the winning submission may be adapted and tailored to suit the gameplay and graphical development process better.
Thematically appropriate - it must fit the Greed & Darkness profile, but feel free to design an enemy that fits another biome or area that has not been seen yet. Be sure to include such details in your description!
We're really looking forward to seeing how the event unfolds! We want as many people to participate as possible and join the community- and this is just the first step toward that!
See you there!
