Back to School Party and Wallpaper Contest

Hey friends!

There's a Back to School party next Saturday! Did you receive your invite yet?

1PM PST | 4PM EST | 3PM CST | 9PM GMT

And in other news, we had a new competition idea which will require you to apply your creative skills in creating a Chotopia desktop wallpaper!

Guidelines

•      You must create or use your own photos and graphics.
•      It may be themed and you are recommended to include a caption in your submission explaining the ideas that lead you to create it.
•      Use Chotopia's Green Screen to help you! 
•      As this is counted as a digital art contest, we will be judging your wallpaper's visual appeal. It can be minimalist or detailed. 
•      Please check the image quality of your final piece. Try to avoid pixelation. 
•      Submit your entry on Discord's submissions-for-contests by providing an Imgur or Tinypic link.
•      You have until September 9 to submit our best work! 

Winners will get their graphic considered for the official blog's new banner, a red rosette and some other sweet prizes!

Have fun!

August Update Part 2 + Robots Contest

Hello Chotopians,

This is the last update of August. As previously stated in the last update, this update revolves mostly around the underground walls and additional robot changes.

This second part of august updates include some changes and new editions to the items in the robots arena! The first change that you will notice is that you can now change the colors of all the items available, the next part is some entirely new tiers that you can earn by battling to level up your robots!

This update is intended to create more variables and outcomes when battling. The probability of beating levels above you is higher than ever.

Here's an image of some of the items added:

The second part of this update is for the underground graphity walls. We've added a button to clear walls (abuse will result in permanent loss of drawing abilities). Also added more different color editor options.

Also the Robots contest that was held earlier in the month results are finally in. 

1st: Kerem

2nd: Eistee

3rd: Jesse

You'll receive your prizes shortly.

That is all for now, thank you for reading. For the upcoming months, we'll continue to release updates, have events, contests and parties.
