This Wednesdays update is a special one.

We would like to announce the Valdis Story A.C. item creation contests. These contests will allow you guys to get involved in a small part of development. The first contest will be to create an ‘Armor’ item for the game.

Armor in Valdis Story is not some disposable item that you discard after upgrading in the next town. There is no armor that is just better without question. Each armor has it’s own unique stats and special traits that lend themselves to different character builds and play styles.

How To Enter:
Entering is easy, fill out the following stat properties and send them in an email to Admin@endlessfluff.com . Be sure to put VSAC Armor Contest in the subject title.

Armor Name:
Attributes: (A total of 4 Points Max)
Traits: (3 traits Max)
Special: (unique ability)
Affinity: (Angelic, Demonic, Balanced)
BackStory: A good story may set you apart from the rest of the crowd 🙂

List of Attributes/Traits currently in the game at the bottom of post*
Don’t be afraid to make up your own traits and specials. If we like the general idea of the traits and specials you make up we will mold and balance it to work. We will also balance the numbers and modify the story to fit if necessary for the final version. Here is an example of an armor that is already in the game.

Armor Name: Judicator Raiment
Attributes: +2 Int / +2 Agi
Traits: +10 Armor/+5 Resist/+Running attack damage
Special: Critical attacks restore 2 mana.
Affinity: Angelic

Submission deadline is May 30!
After the Deadline Carolina and I will select 3 finalist which you guys will vote on to decide the winner. The winning armor will be included in the game along with the creators credit.
