Tough doesn’t half describe how hard it was to come to a final verdict in the Ship Simulator Extremes Content Creation Contest. We had great entries in both categories, with especially the Vessel creation category providing an excellent amount of powerful designs. The Environment creation category on the other hand proved too daunting for many a creator, with teams dropping out like crazy along the way and only a few environments really proving good enough to make the final cut. We therefore decided that the Environment Category will only see a first and second prize winner, as opposed to a first, second and third prize winner for the Vessel category. After all, as we commit to having the winners as playable vessels & environments in the game, we only want the very best to start developing with. After three rounds of selection and elimination, we have come to a unanimous decision.

VESSEL CATEGORY:
