The Christmas Fan Art Contest ended last week, and we spent a couple of days selecting the winners. It was hard, not going to lie—we were amazed at how awesome every single submission was! Community managers, moderators, and Matt voted for their favorite pieces of art, and that's what we came up with:

Matt here. While working on the sequel to Streets of Rogue, I realized that I've got a lot of interesting stuff to share with you all. So I decided to start a series of devlogs, and the first entry is already here. Check it out:

First off, I really, really appreciate how people were willing to take the time to write up and submit their ideas on our Discord server and these two topics: 1, 2. I read every single one of them, and I’d guesstimate it was in the range of 7,500 ideas. That’s way beyond what I expected, and it took FOREVER to get through these, but it was well worth it. So much great stuff in there, just an absolute embarrassment of riches.

Truth be told, even if you’re not one of the winners, there’s a decent chance that some variation of an idea you provided might make it into the game at some point. Or it might have given me a germ of an idea that will result in something else cool. So many of these ideas got me thinking outside the box, or thinking about what the game could be in new ways that I hadn’t considered before. Even in a game as open-ended as SOR, some of these ideas made me realize areas where my focus was maybe a little too narrow. This was a genuinely eye-opening odyssey of a read-through.

• It had to be something that I wasn’t already planning to implement. This actually narrowed things down by a sizable amount. I think a lot of people are going to be pleasantly surprised when they get their hands on the game that their ideas did indeed make an appearance.
  
• It had to be something that’s actually viable to implement and wouldn’t add 2 years of development time.
  
• It had to be something that I knew for 90% sure I’ll want to add, based on where the game is at this point in development and where I think it’s headed. There were tons of amazing ideas that sadly fell into the column of “I really like this but I’m not sure at this point if it’ll fit into the game, maybe in 6 months I’ll have a clearer idea”. I can’t even say with absolute 100% certainty that all of the winning entries will ultimately make the final cut, but I was sure to choose winners that I felt had a very strong chance of being viable.
  
• It had to fit in well with the Streets of Rogue universe. Granted SOR is kind of a hodgepodge of ridiculousness, but there are certain types of suggestions that I feel aren’t a good match. Notably, I received a lot of suggestions that felt too grim in tone or things that really belong in a medieval fantasy universe.
  
• The poster had to follow the rules :) While I appreciate the effort put forth by many of you, the rules stipulated that suggestions should be kept to around a paragraph each. So anything that had a novel’s worth of text had to be disqualified.
  
• This is all incredibly subjective and more than a little bit random, so please don’t feel slighted if you didn’t win a category.

• A surprising number of submitters weren’t aware that SOR2 is an open-world game now. To be clear, it 100% is! :D Check out the Steam store page and FAQ in the SOR2 Steam discussion forum for a good idea of what to expect.
  
• The most common class suggestions I received were: Influencer, Beekeeper, Cultist/Cult Leader, Necromancer, Druid, Cowboy, Ghost, Wizard/Magician, Knight, Samurai, Vigilante, Hunter, Clown, Larper, Eldritch anything, Plague Doctor, and the Grim Reaper.
  
• Will you finally get to read emails? I dunno, but there’s clearly an ungodly high amount of demand for it!

You will receive your prizes—🏆digital Steam copies of Streets of Rogue 2🏆—when the game releases.


And another prize is already here—a video I've recorded as a sign of appreciation:


My current plan is to implement these either before or during the game’s Early Access period. As mentioned earlier I can’t 100% guarantee everything will make it into the game in its 1.0 form, but I’m certainly going to try!

The “Go Rogue!” Community Contest has come to an end. I'm completely blown away (and frankly, frightened by) the number of submissions. You folks left over 1100 comments on Steam (Streets of Rogue 1 Announcement, Streets of Rogues 2 Announcement). On Discord... Well, it's difficult to count the number of posts in the contest channel, but it's definitely more than a thousand. I'm not sure how I will manage reading through 2+ thousand comments. I suppose I’d better get reading!

A big thanks to each and every one of you for participating! The winner(s) will be announced soon-ish, depending on how quickly I can get through everything. Just keep an eye on the news!
