Steam Key/Amazon gift card challenge
There will be two brackets for this challenge. One for mobile users who wish to win a top prize of a Steam key, and another for pc users who wish to win a top prize of a $25 Amazon gift card. You may enter in either challenge, but you cannot enter both.
The prizes are as follows
Amazon gift card bracket
1st place: $25 Amazon gift card
2nd place: $10 Amazon gift card
3rd place: Android/Apple version of mobile SimplePlanes
Steam key bracket
1st place: Steam key for SimplePlanes
2nd place: $10 Amazon gift card
3rd place: Android/Apple version of mobile SimplePlanes
The challenge is as follows:
Your task is to create a vehicle that is capable of easily navigating land, sea, and air. It may start out either on a runway or in the water. There must be a movement of parts or a transformation from at least one mode to another. Bonus point for moving parts or transformations for each mode.
The vehicle must be combat ready and capable of attacking and defending itself from land, sea, and air. It must also contain countermeasures of your choice.
It will be highly appreciated if the vehicle were VTOL capable, but that won't be required so long as the vehicle can land on the runway or in the water.
The judges will be looking specifically at these key areas:
Functionality - How well the vehicle performs in its maneuvering as well as combat as well as ease of use.
Handling - How well the vehicle handles and responds to control inputs on land, sea, and air.
Balance: How well the vehicle maintains its own level and true balance on land, sea, and air.
Aesthetics: How visually appealing the designs shape and colors are.
Details: How detailed the design is. It is highly encouraged to create a cockpit for your vehicle. Even if you can't make all of the moving parts of a fully functioning cockpit, a cockpit of some sort is suggested.
The scores will be rated out of a possible 5 points for each category by the 3 different judges independently of each other. The values of those ratings will then be combined. A perfect score by one judge would result in a score of 25 points. A perfect score by all three judges will result in a score of 75 points. The users with the three highest point totals in each bracket will be awarded the prizes.
The challenge starts today 9/25/2017 and it concludes one month from now on 10/25/2017. Please have your submissions in by by 12:00 am as indicated by the time located in the bottom left corner of the website.

you free to do the challenge now?
Lame
Dead challenge I guess. 😐
@GoeringsWorkshop this challenge is, for the time being, suspended. When I am able to resume then I will be able to conclude this challenge.
@TheLatentImage
Hello?
@CoolPeach @KSPFSXandSP
Dead competition. :(
@CoolPeach It would appear so
Are any results going to come through, ever?
It probably is unfortunately
@ForeverPie
I think this challenge is dead.
@KSPFSXandSP That would be awesome!
Could the results be released on Christmas? Like a Christmas present to us all?
I can't wait to see the results... :)
@TheLatentImage Alright, I understand. Take your time, thanks. :)
@ForeverPie we're still working on judging. The three judges being myself, Kevin Murphy, and WalrusAircraft Sr. We're all parents with full time jobs, so trying to find the appropriate time has been tricky. I do apologize for the delay and we will try to get everything finished up and the results posted as soon as we possibly can.
@Benkelmans RIP
Any idea on the ETA of the results? I don't wanna sound impatient but I'm sort of surprised it's taking this long.
Waiting ever so patiently now that I read the comments...
@TheLatentImage ok thx
:)
@Dylanspin the judges are currently scoring the entries, the winners will be announced when that has concluded.
wenn is the result ?
It's closed boiii
lets see what I can make
Ok I just meant like in the description.
@TheXDimension32 I won't be downloading any designs until the end of the submission deadline.
