In addition to our events, Everlasting Pride is introducing an AE Event this year!
Entries will be accepted until Saturday June 28th at 11:59 PM PST
Title: Histories
Your arc should be themed as LGBGTQ+ heroic history. It could be a personal origin story, a flashback, a newsreel—feel free to be creative!—but it should cover some event in the past, whether that be recent or further back, and be heroic in tone.
Scoring Criteria: Each arc will be scored on a technical and thematic basis.
Technical Criteria: We’ll be awarding points based on skillful usage of Architect Entertainment’s Mission architect. Guides can be found on both the Homecoming Wiki (https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Mission_Architect) and the Homecoming Forums (https://forums.homecomingservers.com/forum/31-mission-architect/)
Total arc length should be 3 – 5 missions
Usage of Custom NPCs in missions: in particular, how biographies and costume designs are employed. (Note: these arcs should be soloable at +1/x1, so please don’t tune any enemy NPCs toward higher difficulties!)
Use of mission objectives: please don’t just do a sequence of outdoor kill-alls. But take advantage of mission goals (chaining one into another, specific NPC defeats, clickables, etctera) to tell your story
Readables: mission clues, intro and outro text, the mission pop-ups, the souvenir—we’ll be scoring on writing, and these are all places to interject it
Thematic Criteria:
Whether through individuals with super powers or other amazing abilities, or through everyday heroes, your arc should be heroic in nature
The arc should be about a past event: this can include a more contemporary history, something from antiquity, or anything in between
The tones can be cheerful, somber, humorous, contemplative, etcetera and any appropriate combination thereof, but the overall arc should be uplifting.
Reference to Setting: there is a lot of lore in game, and we’ll be looking for adroit usage of things like the game’s locations and history (A general canon timeline is available on the HC Wiki: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Canon_Timeline )
The arc should be an LBGTQ+ story
