:inbox_tray: Co-Op Submissions:

Info on Co-Op Submissions
  • For co-op builds, only one person should submit the entry, include all participants’ Steam IDs, and mention its a co-op build. Winnings will be divided equally and may be adjusted.

  • If people want to submit different parts of a co-op build as individual entries, the areas should be distinct from one another, there shouldn’t be pictures of the same things in multiple posts, and the post should only include one Steam ID.

:incoming_envelope: Voting & Results

After the deadline has passed, the submissions are judged by community voting.

I will post a link to the community vote form in a reply to this thread and in dev-updates on the TU Discord.

I will post the winner announcement in the same places.


Have fun, and if you need help with anything related to the contest, feel free to ask in the thread!

Hello! yulgok22 here. Also known as the “Fesh Putt of Blair” guy, but this took much longer than my last work.

I recently finished developing my condo project for a Frutiger Aero themed puzzle game, Velkommen. I think it took about a year to finish. Good thing I made it just before the semester starts.

I’ll be posting images of the first stage only, since I don’t want to spoil the experience. I really wish you could try my condo and see for yourself!

A (loosely) Accurate recreation of a map from the Team Fortress 2 Sourcemod called Open Fortress (It’s a mod that turns TF2 into an Arena Shooter) with some of my own ideas thrown into it

Boreal cabin

This is my first ever submission to an official condo contest, huzzah! Boreal cabin is a condo I made that was heavily inspired by the beauty of Alaska, and A-frame architecture. The goal primary of the condo was to make a cozy winter A-Frame cabin with a beautiful vista and tons of eye candy for players to explore, hang out with friends in, or just to relax in. I also had a secondary goal (that was loosely followed), which was to test the limits of how beautiful a condo in TU can be whilst also using as few objects as possible, coming in at ~3000 objects (500 of which are books, 700 of which are grass pieces). And now I’m finally ready to call this condo done. I was going to do more with it but honestly I don’t think it necessary. I hope you all enjoy it, it was a blast to build and so far is my first and only completed condo to date, with hopefully more to come in the future!
