Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
About a month ago we challenged you guys to design the next level of TSTO with our Whole ‘Nother Level Contest and WOW did you guys respond! We were COMPLETELY blown away by your submissions! I swear you guys do a better job of designing this game than EA does!
Over the past week Bunny, Wookiee and I have been reading each and every one of your entries over and over, trying hard to narrow it down to the finalists. One thing we discovered is you guys have some AMAZING ideas! It was a real struggle to narrow down the field to just 10 finalists…in fact in the end we couldn’t just pick 10. So we decided to go with 15 finalists and let you guys decide who should win from there! Trust me….no easy task!
So with out further ado…let me introduce to you the 15 Finalists for the Whole ‘Nother Level Contest!
So here’s the deal with these entries. We’re going to give you a quick breakdown here on this post of the contestant, their basic idea, their freemium character & their premium character. Then we’ll have a link to read more…TRUST ME you’ll want to read more! Many have full quest dialogues and images as well as the buildings and decorations for the levels. So make sure you read all the details BEFORE voting for your favorites! 🙂
In no particular order….well just alphabetical 😉
