DISCUSSION: What makes Terraria Terraria contest

Is a 3-5 minute video acceptable?

I mean I don't want it to be too long, but yea I wouldn't make it ten minutes. I mean come on, who wants to watch a ten minute video of you rambling on about the same exact topic? Not me. But I mean it said 1-2 minutes so I thought there was some kind of video time limit.

Is there any sort of free video recording software available for use? I want in D:

Also, how are they going to make a vinyl wall print, from a video?

Er... isn't this what this thread is for? Discussing the contest?

*Sees discussion title*

Being on PC.

What I really don't understand, and this is plain criticism from me, is why 505 appears to only be interested in viral media when creating their contests.

What about fan artists, or fan writers?

Up next: "Chuck Norris in Terraria" contest!

That's probably because these media are more accessible and reach a larger audience. Contests like these are all about exposure rather than artistic prowess..

They are trying to reach out to people who haven't rejected them. They need more people on their side for this little business plan to work out.

Of course, to me they look like the typical middle aged man trying to be hip so people don't reject them.

In before white knights with painted smiles.

is it good...

?

I'm starting making my entry tonight, and have decided to make a musical video which will last just under 2 and half mins. That said, I'm rewriting a very well known song, so it will either murder the classic or become semi-legendary. xD

Hopefully will have it ready and released by Sunday

Because that's the only thing they can do right now to garner interest in the community.

I'm actually pretty proud that I wrote the lyrics for the song I'm using by myself. If anyone would be interested in helping with vocals, please hit me up, cause I'm not a great singer tbh.

Copper Shortsword, Chopping Trees, Build a shack - get dirt for free,
Kill a green slime, get some torches, make it through the night,
Go explore, surface caves, pinky slime, 16 grenades,
smashing pots, surface ores, whoa... is that corrupt?

Diggy diggy, dig some more, pick some stone, break some ores
Music changes, mobs get vicious, bats are bloody lame,
Flooded tunnels, giant worms, dirt is blocking out the sun,
Demon eyes, Curt was slain, you left the door open again?!

I love to play Terraria,
just 2D adventures,
no such thing as weather.
I love to play Terraria,
cause you can't quite match it,
even when minecraft patches.

Skeletons and Mother slimes, silver veins, high water lines,
jellyfish, miner's tombs, a glowing mushroom patch.
Boulder traps, watch your step, life crystals and spiderwebs,
double jump, grind some mobs, sand is overpowered...

Get home, blood moon, seal the doors, kill the groom,
Top hat, tux and tails, bow and arrows, killer whales,
Midnight is-a coming soon, AN EVIL PRESCENCE WATCHING YOU,
Shurikens and throwing knifes, cthulu epic boss fight!!

I've overplayed Terraria,
cause I'm always finding
new things to be mining.
I've overplayed Terraria,
for six hundred hours,
I think I need a shower.

Eyeball slain, drops gained, daytime comes, glass panes,
More trees, more rooms, make potions out of mushrooms
Time to venture out some more, I'm too pro for copper ore.
Passing through corruption zone, maybe they'll leave me alone. (nope.)

ebonstone, dirt bridges, flying eaters, hide in ridges,
rotten chunks, vile worms, how further yet to go?
Escape and find the dungeon stairs, take the plunge if you dare,
man turns into floating head - don't forget to set a bed!

I love to play Terraria,

Multiplayer, server's up, 'new chars only', endgame stuffz,

Hack client, thousand health, million defense, platinum wealth,
Try me bro, grief my site - obsidian beats dynamite!

I love to play Terraria,
Just to troll the hackers,
makes me roar with laughter.
