Hello Explorers!

We had some great submissions by truly inspired interior decorators. First, let’s start with the winner of the community vote: Ertosi!

Here is what Ertosi wrote for his submission:

Welcome to the Lava Throne! All are welcome in these lands, so make yourself at home. The Royal Gallery lines the sides of the upper floors where art taken from various ruins is displayed. The lower levels house the dining hall and kitchens to the left and the Fire Garden is off to the right, but is still under construction.





Next, we have our own personal picks, submitted by Zueljin and Pixlriffs.

You may recognize Pixlriffs work in a work-in-progress post on Reddit! Here is what he had to say about his submission:

I've been having a blast finding out what materials work well together and gathering artifacts from relic ruins around the world. My favourites end up in this dining hall. The golden floor lamps from the pyramid ruins keep the place well lit even at night, and I'm probably most proud of getting the candles, bottles and bones to sit right on those dark wood tables. (Those are dodo bones, don't worry. I toss the leftovers to the direwolf.)




And finally, Zueljin walks us through his inspiration:

Ever since I played my first block building game, I would wonder into awesome builds that were empty and lifeless. I started using items and blocks to emulate interior decor that you would see in today's homes. I typically get inspiration from rooms that you see in modern and contemporary houses and try to scale them to a reasonable space that feels right in the game. In my pixark base, I started with an underground workshop and went onto a living space with quite a few heavily decorated rooms. The project is still underway but I plan to work on it until it's perfect.






Congratulations to the three winners; please keep an eye on your email for a PixARK Steam key to give to a friend! We would also like to thank everyone who submitted their interior designs and everyone who continues to play and make PixARK great. Until next time!

Hello Explorers!

Thank you for all of your submissions for our Interior Design event. There were some truly outstanding submissions, and we would like to share some of them with you to vote on! The community vote winner will be announced alongside our picks on Friday, 5/25. You can submit your votes here
