[2020] TRAILER COMPETITION WINNERS

: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page [url=https://steamcommunity.com/ogg/548430/announcements/detail/2185879391055611050]here[/url].

Hello, Miners! We have been absolutely flabbergasted with the crazy amount of amazing trailers you all produced in two weeks of recording and editing frenzy. When we decided to run the competition, we honestly didn’t know what to expect, but now we know we have a community packed with very talented trailer-making people all around the world!

Before we jump into the result of the competition, we just want to state that 1.0 of Deep Rock Galactic will launch tomorrow, May 13th, at exactly 3 pm CEST / 6 am PST / 1 pm UTC. With the help of you, we have finally reached the finish line and we can’t wait to see what will happen on Wednesday when we all say Rock and Stone to the world. And calling it a finish line is a bit wrong. It’s more like a pitstop, since we will keep on running and deliver more juicy content onto the game.

Oh, and tomorrow, on launch day, we know some of you might expect us to live stream from the office. But the whole Corona-situation has made preparations for that quite a bit more tricky than expected, so we will probably just end up doing some streams from the game. We’ll give you a rain check on the live streaming.

Now onto the trailers! When we realized that we had so many cool trailers, we had to change the rules for how to award the winners. First of all, we decided to make everyone a winner by awarding every participant with a pair of the new launch DLCs. Secondly, we decided to select the best 40 trailers (even that was difficult) and showcase them all. Thirdly, we decided to showcase the top 15, one trailer per day, and award those with even more DLCs packs. Finally, we decided to add the winning trailer to the Steam store page of Deep Rock Galactic and promote it directly in the press release for our launch.

How did we decide on the winners, you might ask? It was a pretty brutal decision and it could easily have ended up in a different order. We looked through all the participants, made shortlists of contenders for top positions, discussed the various trailers and their qualities, looked for creativity and technical excellence, and in the end decided with our hearts.

So, here goes....
