Halloween Submissions 2018!!
 
https://i.imgur.com/vffVKks.png https://i.imgur.com/cxXRag7.png https://i.imgur.com/xayoVyl.png

Why hello my fellow Graalians.

Halloween is quickly approaching and I don't think Christmas should be the only holiday that should get to have player submissions! We want to see what spook-tacular stuff you guys can come up with!

This event will work just like the Christmas event, only there won't be 4 categories to theme your stuff as. Just one theme this time, and that theme is...
https://i.imgur.com/soXm1um.png!!HALLOWEEN!!
https://i.imgur.com/soXm1um.png
I hope that was obvious...

Those of you whose submissions get accepted and put in-game will receive a reward of 10,000 gralats for more complex items (ex. hats, mounts, furniture. etc.) or 5,000 gralats for simpler items (ex. toys, food, etc.) AND your submission(s)!

All the player submitted items will be sold in the Candy Shop at Deadwood


We want you guys to submit the spookiest, scariest and, of course, most creative stuff you can come up with!!
Of course, the same rules apply here as the Christmas submission and uploading rules which are as follows:
  1. All Content must be made solely by you, from scratch, meaning no edits of existing content
  2. Any graphics made between two or more people as a collaboration can only gain the rewards on a singular account
  3. NO copyright infringement
  4. Keep things appropriate (i.e. nothing obscene, indecent, or controversial in nature)
  5. Do not use pure black (#000000) or pure white (#ffffff). If you use these colors, they will be transparent in-game
  6. You may submit multiple items
  7. If you make recolors, you will receive all the colors you submit but will only receive the gralats for the one hat. You cannot accumulate more gralats from multiple colors of one item
  8. All submissions must utilize one of the provided templates. Custom sized morphs, mounts, furniture, etc. will not be allowed
  9. All submission must be either a .png or .gif file format. Any other file formats (ex. .jpeg, .jpg, etc.) will not be accepted
  10. Accessories will not be allowed for this event
  11. This thread will be used for questions and comments only. Posts not pertaining directly to this event will be removed. If you wish to post your progress and receive or give constructive criticism, please use the progress thread

If you're interested in submitting content for this event, then upload your creations to an image hosting website (such as imgur.com) and email the links to [email protected]. Title the email "Halloween Submission" and include your Graal ID (which can be found in the feedback menu in-game).
If you do not include your Graal ID you cannot receive your reward should your submission be accepted!


-----------------------------------
For any templates you may need,
click here

The deadline for all submissions is October 29th, 11:59pm/23:59 EST

Here is the VIP color palette for any base colors that you'd need so they match body colors


You can find a link to the progress thread ~HERE~

Looking forward to seeing those sweet, spooky pixels and good luck to all who submit! Have fun and...

~FAQ~
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask down below! I'll update this FAQ as questions come.

Question
Can people not on the forums (but still play Graal) submit items?
Answer
Absolutely! This isn't strictly a forums event, though it would be best if said person checks out this thread to get all the information they might need. They don't need a Graalians account to be able to view this thread. The link to this thread is tinyurl.com/halloweensubmissions and this link is also in my status in-game.
-----------------------------------
Question
Can we attach files to the email or do we have to use an image hosting site?
Answer
We would prefer you use an image hosting site, but if you absolutely don't want to do that and the files you send are either .png or .gif file formats, it would be fine.
-----------------------------------
Question
Can we color pick from existing items? (example: taking the orange from the pumpkins in-game)
Answer
That would totally fine, and a good idea for the sake of consistency!
-----------------------------------
Question
Would blood, organs and monsters be allowed?
Answer
I don't see any problem with that as long as it's not too over-the-top! It is Halloween, after all! Just keep in mind that a lot of kids do play this game, so as long as you follow the rules listed above you should be fine.
-----------------------------------
Question
Can we make hats that might look like accessories?
Answer
Anything that would be better made as an accessory wouldn't be accepted (ex. no glasses, scarves, backpacks, wings, etc.)
-----------------------------------

Sir Travis 10-16-2018 03:48 PM

Can we get a confirmation email if our items were submitted properly? It’s very reassuring to get a message saying “we got your stuff, it made it through the inter-webs”

Can players from Graal submit items? I'm not the best at graphics but I have a friend that would most likely be interested in this. If I redirect her to this page can she submit files?

You mean not from graal? If she doesn't play graal she can't get a prize, and I couldn't give her prize to someone else either as submissions have to be made by the person submitting it. Otherwise it would be pretty unfair.

Mars96 10-16-2018 04:20 PM

If the submission is accepted, do you mean we receive 10,000 gralats and our submission as well?

No, I mean someone from GraalOnline, not someone from the forums.
Sorry if I was unclear...

Yep! Well, you'll receive either 10k or 5k depending on what the item is. But yes, you will get the gralats and the item(s).

Unless you submitted an item with recolors, then you'll only get gralats for one of those items, but still receive all the recolors on your account.

Oh yes absolutely! This isn't just a forums event :) Just make sure she includes her Graal ID when she submits her item. Might be best if she checked out this thread, even, so she can see all the rules and such. I've added a link to this thread in my status in-game so anyone who doesn't have a graalians account can check it out.

Alicegraal 10-16-2018 04:37 PM

can we straight up email the files or do we have to upload them to an image hosting website ??

Reggie* 10-16-2018 04:39 PM

Submitted some of my items. Hope they make it.

XBanished 10-16-2018 04:41 PM

You says; "upload your creations to an image hosting website (such as imgur.com) and email the links to [email protected]." can we submit the actual file, uploading to an external site and sending the link seems a little extra in my opinion.

Alicegraal 10-16-2018 04:41 PM

agreed

Chibiko 10-16-2018 04:42 PM

Hey! Can we use graal colours for submissions? E.G, if I wanted to make a Pumpkin item, could I use the colour-pick tool and use the colours straight from the Graal pumpkins or etc?

We prefer using an image hosting site, but as long as the images you attach are either .png or .gif images that should be okay as well.

Using graal colors/color picking from existing stuff would be totally okay for the sake of consistency. I'll attach the graal color palette to the original post as well.

blood, monsters and gory stuff should be fine as long as it's not too over-the-top. We do have some bloody stuff in-game so i don't see a problem with that.

Just keep in mind that a lot of kids do play this game, so as long as you follow the basic rules listed above you should be fine.

wordpress or google drive should be okay as long as they can provide a direct link. Usually by right-clicking the image and selecting "copy image address". That link is usually a direct link...however if that doesn't create a direct link we wouldn't be able to view it.

Since the candy shop is way smaller than the amount of items given out in presents, it seems that it’s going to be harder for items to be accepted, unless it’s different this year?

It's a small shop but there's also the goodie bags. There shouldn't be any limit to what we can accept and should be able to have as many items as Christmas would (if we even get that many!)

Does anyone know of any gfx tools which can be used on preferably a chromebook...thinking of trying to learn some gfx skills and having this as a goal would be a good bit of motivation. Doubt I'll actually get anything done in time, but its still a starting point.

I don't know much about chromebooks but I used to use paint.NET before i switched to photoshop. I liked it pretty well. Only thing I would recommend that's free.

So you have to add at least one hand, above the food item, for the animation?

I've used Paint.net( Still do time to time when not using photoshop since im not 100% aware of everything in PS) Never gotten a virus. Make sure you download it from the official site, Gimp is also fine tho

o.o I've never heard of paint.net giving viruses? I never got one. You just have to make sure you hit the right download button (top right), and do it from the official site (which I linked above).

Nope, it's fine! Good job :D

Tbh I think it'd be pretty hard to make anything that's actually so grotesque that it would have to be disapproved with pixel art. I'll def let anyone know if something really is that disturbing lol, but as long as you follow the basic rules I don't think there'll be any problems.

Are you asking if emotes would be a 10k reward or a 5k? If so I'd say 5k. Smaller, less complicated stuff would only be 5k

LSD 10-17-2018 03:24 PM
