Hello everyone! I’ve heard from many about the resolution requirements for this poster.

Based on feedback, I’m updating the guidelines to specify a new poster dimension that would work the best ratio wise. The ratio we’re looking for should be standard 2:3 poster ratio.

The new final contest resolution is 1600x2400. Keep in mind we’ll likely reduce the overall resolution of the image when importing into the game by about 50% while maintaining the ratio.

For example, I made the poster teasing Elevator 2 with the correct ratio here:

Here’s a poster template you can use with the correct dimension:

I hope this helps out those of you who were concerned about the aspect ratio of the poster requirements.


It’ll also most likely be within a frame such as this:

Cheeky reference, probably not acceptable due to how on the nose it is.
But it was fun to draw regardless. :face_in_clouds:

Imgur link since it seems like the forum made it a JPEG for some reason.

Made a poster for my favorite game of all time. Names in the credits are all store employees from the Plaza.

My Steam ID is 76561198036912996

The rating box uses Franklin Gothic (built in to Windows), the subtitles are Segoe (also built in to Windows), the rating itself is Typographer Subway (Typographer Subway Font Family · 1001 Fonts) and the credits are Tall Films (Tall Films Font Family · 1001 Fonts). So all clear for commercial use from what I can tell!
