The competition will begin on January 25th, when we release Phase 3 of our test client and will end on February 10th.
Game Overview:
Influence is a single shard, player-driven, peer-to-peer, grand strategy MMO set in the Adalian asteroid belt.
After a 150 year journey and multiple generations living aboard the Arvad, they arrive in the Adalia system. With only the basic necessities to survive, the colonists must exploit the orbiting asteroid belt for their small segment of humanity to survive.
This is where you come in. As a player, you will take on the role of a crew of Adalians to try to find your place within the belt. Each crew will have ideas about what’s best for the settlement and how to achieve that. Utilize your unique composition of skills and classes (Miner, Pilot, Merchant, Scientist, Engineer) to earn SWAY and expand your influence within the belt.
Creator Competition:
Content creators are an important part of a game’s ability to reach a larger audience and excite new players, educate existing players, and help build strong communities. That’s why we are launching our first content creator competition, where everyone can dive into Influence and potentially earn rewards. If you participate, you will be some of the first creators to spotlight Influence. This is an opportunity to learn a new game, give meaningful feedback, and become a well respected member of the Influence community.
In this competition we are focusing on the features of the “Phase 3” release of our early access test client. We are looking for content creators to dive into what players can now do within the game, and provide guidance on how to start playing.
If this resonates with you, we would be excited to have you as part of our creator community and look forward to seeing you create. Below are the guidelines and information you need to start creating.
