:newspaper: New Contest Incoming (Partial Reveal) + Dev Support Program!

The “OVERDARE Game Contest” is here to fuel your passion and creativity!
Each round will bring fresh, unpredictable themes and rules, with an energetic vibe of:
“Contest announced → Build it → Run! → Done? On to the next!” :zap::video_game:

We want creation to feel fast, fun, and constant. Here’s what to expect:

:one: Why a new program?

  • We want to unleash your boldest ideas and most aggressive creative energy. The previous system nudged passive participation within a fixed framework — not the vibe we’re going for.
  • So, we’re replacing the old marketing-period incentive system with a contest-based reward structure, so every round feels new, dynamic, and creation-first. :sparkles:

:two: Ready, Set, Go!

  • We’ll kick off contests at opportune moments—right after meaningful updates and bug fixes that make building smoother. :hammer_and_wrench:
  • With a “Go when it’s ready!” mindset, we’ll run contests as often as possible when inspiration strikes. Stay alert—these will drop fast! :stopwatch:

:three: What are the rules?

  • Prizes, criteria, and rules will vary per contest to keep things fresh.
  • We’ll use learnings from previous rounds to maximize motivation and outcomes.
    And yes—we’ll announce all details clearly every time to avoid any confusion. :compass:

:four: When is the first contest?

  • Very soon. Not much time left—get your ideas ready! :date::rocket:

:receipt: Second News: Game Development Support Contract

“Is winning a contest the end of the journey?” No way!
The OVERDARE team tracks all live games daily (contest entries or not) and will proactively identify “games with great potential.” We may reach out with a separate “Game Development Support Contract.” :handshake:

If you won a contest:

  • Your chances of receiving a Dev Support offer increase significantly. :trophy:

If you didn’t win:

  • You’re still in the running. High quality, clever ideas, and unique fun can trigger a support offer at any time. :star2:

We’re here to help you try more, iterate faster, and ship better.
Please make full use of our guides, forums, and open communication with our engineers—and get even closer to OVERDARE through a support contract!

Have questions? Open a ticket and we’ll help. :envelope_with_arrow:
