Another thought : since we already have a system in place for monthly item contests, complete with judging and winners (which makes sense in this case, because there are actual prizes being given away by 2 third parties), why not start by simply bundling the past winning items still stuck in workshop limbo into…
Oh wow. Thanks mate for taking the initiative. As i said already in the polycount skype chat, i see this as a chance for us to move with the time as well as get a littlebit more back to the community we are supposed to be. Also i only see this as a first step and want people to also start to connect with others and also do…
With all the ideas like this we could do it would be really nice if the Dota team had a workshop community liaison that would be able to help communicate Valve's plans and help organize more Valve approved community events like this
I have to say that I don't like the idea of entering existing items. Most of us have idle, unused items in our workshops but isn't this supposed to be more of an event to get people working together to make new things?
As I mentioned in the other thread I think this would be a great time to see if it would be possible to use multiple resources, and dota communities and try to do a community update like tf2 did. They had their update with robot hats that had the blog post and comic all made by the community, and there were like 60 some…
Lastly, it's also worth considering that all of the discussion above could become unnecessary if Valve suddenly released a whole bunch of existing, workshop-submitted sets to the store, as it has happened in the past ! But of course there is no way to know about that :) It's probably safe to assume that anything we can do…
...what? The goal here is quality over quantity. You'll stand out by submitting your best work, not by smothering out the competition with a ton of items. If we want the pool of items to be dominated by a handful of big names then, well, we already have the workshop for that! ;) With one entry per person/team, everyone…
Absolutely. As soon as I wrap up some work I'm doing right now I was planning on trying to get more involved with the community again anyway. I'd be more than happy to put together a courier or do some modelling for something. The workshop community is something that is very important to me and I don't think I'm alone in…
I think if we had a say 3 month competition underway it could be easy to get a few Valve judges. It's really not that much of a commitment on their part to have a few people look at some items and vote (with a clause that votes don't mean entry into game, simply nothing more than voting on the contest at polycount... which…
