Customized the look of the character and searched for a good viewpoint. Maybe there are better viewpoints, but I liked this one. Also, creating the 666 mark took a little fiddling but I got it.

I saw your posts on the giveaways and was so confused until just now. Ha, I like your minesweeper ones, it's clever. I think this one made me chuckle the most.

Thanks herbesdeprovence!
There were 3 themes up when I started and Minesweeper seemed to fit them all and be a game we all knew and so I went with it. I'm not sure what to do in the future if it gets weirder but that's all part of the fun :)

Is the number of contributions from one user limited in any way? Are we allowed to post one screenshot in each category, one screenshot in total - or as many as we want?
Comment has been collapsed.
It's okay to enter in different categories. But I'd say one screen by theme would be the limit, I'll edit my post.
Thanks for this very good question !
Comment has been collapsed.
Is it okay to post more than one screenshot (per theme)?
Comment has been collapsed.
great minds think alike, PossiblePsycho asked the same question at the same time as you! :)
I've edited the rules. 1 screen by theme, but you can enter every theme.
Comment has been collapsed.
Really cool idea. I take very few screenshots but if I ever come across one that fits a theme, I'll participate for sure.
In the meantime, I'll just admire the offerings and +1 to my little heart's content.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're welcome for both the activities :)
I'm personally very impressed by some contributions.

Such a unique idea, though I don't know if curating screenshots is something I'd have the patience for. Have a bump nonetheless!
Comment has been collapsed.
Fantastic idea, provides a nice challenge when selecting and also great to see how others interpret the theme and how they translate it into their shots. Hopefully it'll be successful enough that you'll do another round sometime!
I'm participating in picking something from my screenshots without actually participating. :P Gave myself a time limit of 5 mins per theme so I wouldn't just get lost in browsing screenshots while struggling to pick the perfect shot, so just went with my gut picks.
Games (and spoiler warning) in order: Death Stranding, Little Nightmares II, Far Cry 5

It's a shame you don't participate, I find your screens very relevant :)

hey sorry to have done this but my image seemed to have issues for the direct page link so ive changed the link to the screen shot in my steam profile. its the same image. love this idea btw
Comment has been collapsed.
This turned to be much more difficult to handle than i thought :) Particularly on the formatting aspect. As others have done already, feel free to contact me if you feel something can be improved :)
I'd say next time make one thread per theme, have a dedicated period for entry submission, then link those entries in the respective OP and make a poll with all of them and have a dedicated voting period.
Comment has been collapsed.
You were not the only one to tell me that, and that's a good advice. I'll do that next time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Another reason to have distinct submission and voting periods is that it puts all the contestants on an equal footing. It feels like those who submitted early had a pretty big advantage simply because their entries were seen by more people.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's true. Also I'm finding it very hard to naviagate all the new entries. I like WaxWorms suggestion: one thread per theme, dedicated period for submission, put them somewhere central and make voting easier.
Actually, it would already be easier if it would only be one (or maybe two) themes only. The fact that you, Swordoffury, added so many later made the whole thread very difficult to navigate.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're both right. I will leave this global topic open until August 24 , for new submissions only.
Then, I'll open a topic by theme, with one table containig all of the theme's screens, and a poll so that the vote is fair.
My apologies for the inconvenience, I was a bit too optimisitic about that.

a little bump for now
may come back later on with some screenshots, just need to have a look to find out if something fits here or there.. ;D

All good though. This might be the beginning of a new type of GA challenge :)

[20/08/2024] after legitimate feedback, there will be no more voting inside this particular thread (and all previous votes will not be taken in account). You can still post a screen for each theme, and I'll still update the tables accordingly.After 24/08/2024, I will create a thread by theme that will contain a poll. The voting part will occur in these 6 threads.
This will be easier for everyone this way.
I apologise to everyone who has been affected . I'm still quite new to this ;)
Hello everyone.
I wanted to try something new , and have some of you participate a bit too.
I will submit several themes , and I want you to post a screenshot of any game session that matches the theme. I'd prefer if the screenshot comes from your game session and not from the internet. You are authorized to enter in every theme, but you cannot give different screenshots for the same theme. For new members, you can add a screenshot using this format:
Once a screen has been posted, other users will have to vote for it (by commenting on the post and saying ‘+1’)Once the event is closed (august 24) , I'll invite the 2 or 3 best contributors for each theme (depending on the success of the event) in a temporary steam group for some exclusive giveaways.
For each theme, I will also post an invite only link (level 0) of a game so that spectators also have a chance to win. The screen does NOT have to be linked to these games, but can be if you have them and feel like it.
Each ga link will have the first and last characters swapped
Theme 1) Peace and expansion (post your screen here)
Ga : Growth
Theme 2) Smallness and fear (post your screenshot here )
Ga: A tale of paper: refolded
Theme 3) Survival and pointlessness (post your screenshot here )
Ga: This war of mine (complete edition)
Theme 4) AI hallucinations (dedicated to Icaio and his thread) (post your screenshot here )
GA: Synergia
Theme 5) The immensity of the universe (post your screenshot here )
GA: Stasis
Theme 6) Who created the gods (this one may be a bit tougher for m0r1arty :D) post your screenshot here
GA: virgo-versus-the-zodiac
Very nice contributions already !
