I'm hoping to add other Trials swag to the prizes such as posters, and will keep this post updated whenever I get more news/money.
Tracks will be rated on 4 factors with 40 points
- Driving Line (10 points): Smooth checkpoints (tested rigorously), originality of obstacles, consistent obstacle difficulty, flow (transitions/timesavers)
- Respecting the theme (10 points): Adheres to a Winter/Holiday theme, sticks with the theme, variety of objects used, references to the theme
- Background (10 points): Compliments the theme, ambience, lighting, camera angles
- Other factors (10 points): Custom items (checkpoints/bombs), animations, realistic medal times, unique thumbnail, replayability. These factors are not mandatory, but take you above and beyond your typical track
Overall, the decoration of your track will be the most important aspect since it’s a combination of Theme, Background, and parts of “Other Factors” (custom items/animations).
Congrats to all the winners, and thanks to everyone that participated in the community! Your donations and support for the builders was amazing, we were able to raise $600 to dish out to the four winners. We'll definitely have more of these competitions in the future.
1st place: "FS19 Triglav" by icex42. Ice made a stunning climb track that's based on the highest mountain located in Slovenia, his home country. Rewards for 1st place: $250, 3 posters, 150 Acorns, and a Trials Rising Dualshock 4 controller.
2nd Place: "FS19 A Christmas Carol" by PandaNextDoor. Based on the novella by Charles Dickens, Panda recreated a story on a Trials driving line showing the past, present, and future of Christmas. Rewards for 2nd place: $175, 3 posters, 100 acorns, and Trials Rising branded Bluetooth headphones.
3rd place: "FS19 Xmas Delivery Service" by ManatheRama. Mana placed in the FS19 and won the N1L8 competition. I was stunned at the beginning of Mana's track, it literally made my jaw hit the floor. That "WOW" factor was just enough to squeak out 3rd place. Rewards for 3rd place: $100, 3 posters, 75 acorns, and Trials Rising branded Bluetooth headphones.
First Time Builder Winner: "FS19 The Ravine" by lodus__. I wanted to add another award to someone who went out of their comfort zone and showed the community you don't need to have 100's of hours in the editor to make an awesome track. I was surprised by both lodus and Alien's build (FS19 Aussie X-mas), which included a solid driving line, theme, and background. Nothing exceptional, but solid. These are the building blocks I like to see. I hope these two learned a lot and inspired more to try out the editor. Rewards for First Time Builder: $75, 3 posters, and Trials Rising branded Bluetooth headphones.
