A couple of weeks ago we ran a contest on Deviant Art for people to come up with their own monsters for In The Dark and we got some great entries!

It was tough to narrow it down to our three favorites but here they are:

Pinappleapple’s entry was animated! We liked that
it actually has some potential for creating more
intricate puzzles and its overall ridiculousness.

And the entry that will be in the final game is APPUL’s!

Zazz96’s entry Cappie has a great awkwardness to him and
manages to be threatening and cute at the same time.

It’s simple, silly, and immediately gave us some fun ideas to play with.
We liked its kind of terrible teeth, and its suction cup like feet.

So it’s going to be in the game! All three will receive copies of In The Dark when it comes out. We’d like to thank everyone who participated and you can check out the list of entries over here.

We’ve decided to run a little art contest for In The Dark and we’re asking people to make up their own monsters!
You can submit an entry by posting it on Deviant Art and sending a message to us through Kytri.

Here are the rules:
– Monsters in the game are all black with white features such as eyes and mouths, so stick to that.
– Please try to keep your designs from becoming too complicated so that we can convey its motions as a silhouette.
– You’re allowed to submit more than once, but only one will be chosen per person.
– When you post your submission, please link to our kickstarter page: http://kck.st/o0trUC
– The dead line is Monday, August 22nd

The prizes are as follows:
1st : You will receive a copy of the game and your monster will be in it!
2nd and 3rd: You will receive a free copy of the game when it comes out!

Good luck to everyone who enters, we look forward to seeing your ideas!
