A large chunk of the people who entered our building contest are experienced builders from other games, like Valheim, Minecraft, etc. They were all bad at building at one point too :) They got better with practice and time, taking inspiration and learning from others.
Like with any artform nobody is good at it the moment they pick it up, it takes practice and patience. Anyone can get good at building eventually, if it's something you really want to do <3
I love how "simple" and yet detailed it is, very beautiful build. Great job <3
Love all the little details, great job :)
This is very, very good.
Man, I am not envious of the judges that will have to pick winners for this contest... There's way too many builds that have completely blown me away 😍

Since the build competition announcement, I worked tirelessly on this thing to get it in an acceptable place before the deadline. I uploaded my video tour last night, thankfully. I struggled to get a good screenshot, however. Since there's no free cam mode in the game, my character's head was always in the way.
Remembering a post on Reddit about a free cam screenshot-focused cheat table, I looked into that this morning. It seemed to work well enough, allowing me to grab these few screenshots (though so much more isn't captured....) However, something about the sun's orientation was starting to bug out. So I turned it off and logged out.
When I logged back in, I was met with a "your data is corrupted" prompt. In a panic, I logged in but thankfully found everything seemed fine. I logged back out and back in one more time some time later and was greeted with the same prompt. Clicke...
Hey there, please head to our troubleshooting channel on our discord and reach out, there might still possibly be a way to salvage things.
From what you've said it's hard to theorize what might have happened, but there are two places where builds get saved, locally and in Steam Cloud save. Perhaps those settings switched somehow and it got saved somewhere else? We might still be able to salvage it. But it will be easier to troubleshoot on Discord where people can ask questions live.
Hoooly! One of the most creative builds I've seen so far, fantastic job!
We're on it. Toast and I will have a little chat with the stakeholders and contest organizers and we'll share what we got here
We opened a dedicated channel on our discord server (discord.gg/enshrouded) for you to share your twitter links. The channel is #contest-entries. Please only post twitter links in there and use the other channel #contest-chat for any talk related to the contest.

Very creative! I'm a sucker for these kind of "small and cozy" builds with lots of little details. Also I'll ask the team about the hitbox issue, I'm not sure if that's a technical requirement or not, or if we might be able to adjust it.
I love how "simple" your builds are, they don't even look like player housing but like an actual part of the game world. Fantastic job as always <3
Thank you for looking.
This is a 5 hour YouTube live build yesterday

You should definitely enter our build contest if you haven't already! This build is beautiful I'm sure people would love it :) https://twitter.com/KeenGamesStudio/status/1763640452585042097
Can’t wait! Thank you for creating such a marvellous game!!
Thank you! ❤️
Unrelated, is there a rough roadmap out yet? I'm loving what we've got, but I'd be interested to know roughly what the plan is going forward.
Not quite yet, but very soon! We are finalizing things internally :)
We have more roadmap info coming out very soon as well, just finalizing some things internally. So stay tuned 🙏
Oh wow, it's one thing to make a beautiful build, but to make it so compact like this takes serious talent! Amazing job, can't wait to see what else you make <3
Thank you for the kind words! We still have a lot more coming so stay tuned ;)
This is completely insane! I don't even want to think about how long this took... Great job!
I feel like allowing friends to help is going to hinder a lot of the solo builders. I don't want to see the biggest builds being picked over the smaller ones due to pure grandeur.
There's not really any good way for us to confirm whether or not somebody built something solo or not. So trying to regulate this didn't make much sense, it would be too easy to cheat. But this is why we only give out the prizes and allow entries from one contestant, to hopefully somewhat de-incentivize large groups trying to work on a build and split the prize.
