I brought up the topic of having noob challenges on showcase separately on the noob challenge idea thread. So the winner(s) of the contest get showcased in a Noob Hall of Fame or something like that. What do you guys think?
On the topic of galleries, showcasing the works of art in the banner, and so on, I would like to ask a simple question: Why? This doesn't mean I am against this idea. In fact that's far from the truth. The new site even allows us to showcase artwork much, much easier now than it ever has been. I am genuinely curious to…
I think that we could maybe archive this thread, then split it up into two, like "WAYWO 2014 Dota 2 Edition - WIP and Critique" and "Dota 2 Workshop Releases and Showcases". The first one for progress pics, general critiques, feedback and suggestions, then the second one dedicated to Workshop links and finished item…
We could have some separate threads, one in the vein of WAYWO, for progress, critique and stuff like that, and another one dedicated to releases, final showcases and workshop links.
Maybe some sort of showcases? Top items of the months? or have it so the banners on the Dota section cycle through images of accepted polycounter Dota items. Maybe have some third parties that are willing to help promote by featuring top polycount submission of the week/month? I guess in short, easy exposure that would…
Sounds cool but hopefully it embraces the entire community more than just 'top content' as voted on by the workshop community. We already have that and it's called seeing the same 3 items on the front of Steam for 4 months. That's the MAIN problem with the Steam Workshop as it is right now. Continuing that trend on another…
To answer a question with a question. I'd counter: Why not? It's just as valid as any other form of game art. The only difference is that we have a pre-defined starting point and limitations. People still find incredibly unique ways to enhance the characters and showcase their own work. Great work is still great work. The…
On the idea of aggregating content/automatic galleries/showcasing, etc. We met with Valve last week to talk about accessing this very information, direct from the Workshop. They wrote us an API just for this very thing, which we will be taking full advantage of on the new website. With this API, we'll be able to: * Single…
Seconding the idea of having a gallery to give greater exposure to the amazing artwork that is created in this sub-forum. I think that Pior is totally correct when he says that a lot of users from the "main" sections are pretty unaware of the work that gets posted in here - I had no idea that there was much going on in…
