Design a Costume: Voting is Open!

Our Costume Design contest has entered its second phase, with five finalists chosen from all the entries. This is the big moment, folks, because one of these five costume designs is going to be turned into a C-Store costume and added to the game!
Flip through this Facebook photo album (or the Arc media page), take a look at the five finalists, and Like your favorites. The most-liked concept on Monday (4/28) will be the winner!
(As a side note, please remember that this concept will serve as the inspiration for the final costume design. Even for professional developers, translating an idea into an in-game result requires some changes, due to the engine and what it can handle. We'll try to keep as close to the concept as possible, though -- we chose these concepts because we like them, after all!)
Let's have a round of applause for our finalists, and go vote for them here!

They should do 2 separate sets. 1 for FB and 1 for ARC.
And use rest of the suggestions for a monthly sets.:cool:
And i'm going to hold my breath until Meeda's Cosmic Knight is in the C-store.
Starting now!

You can like all of them on FB too.

So TT what happens with the other submissions?
Could we have multiple voting contests. Some submissions are really great and SHOULD be made into costumes.
I see no reason not to use the already existing submissions. At least this way you get an idea of what people would prefer instead of just making a costume and hoping people like/buy it. (the art is already there and letting people vote is costs nothing)
We can actually see who the winner is, it's no mystery........but I say well done to them all for being shortlisted.

Suburban Anime!
But really, I'd love for them to release that sort of hood that fits with the jacket. ;D
Too bad epic angel's of DETH will win. :<

I would prefer another competition just like this one.....other people might like to participate. With the caveat that they allow those that didn't get shortlisted, or didn't win, to repost their entries.

Absolutely, they should call it CO Costume Design Round 2
There are 3 things they should do for the second one:
1. They should mention to have the costume in one image so it's not cut on FB.
2. Allow voting for all of the viable (from tech perspective) costumes.
3. Disallow gender specific costumes (this should have been a rule from the get go)
@TT use the ideas of the community. We know what we need and it's cheaper to do it this way since we are providing the artwork/ideas. (should decrease the risk of making costume duds)
Yep, simple addition.
We're pretty impressed with a lot of the costumes, and we might end up using some of those ideas in the future, yeah. From a contest standpoint, though, we'd probably run something new, though we'd probably allow people to re-submit old ideas.
This is all hypothetical, though. We're focused on finishing what's on our plate now and planning for seconds -- we're not thinking about dessert just yet. :biggrin:
Also, I'll probably close the Facebook/Arc voting at 5pm PDT.

Did you really read the full entries?
Urban Anime is not intended to be gender specific.
I did not mention which one was gender specific lol. The fact that you mentioned that costume submission disproves your point :rolleyes:.
Wait....are you telling me that a guy would wear that? :eek: Srly? Yeah....NO :cool:
lol it might not be to your taste but that is irrelevant.
I'm not sure I follow that one. Do you mean to say that you will do an entirely new type of contest OR further design a costume contests?
IMO the design a costume contest was the most productive/useful one. We get to submit ideas/costumes and you (devs) get the art for it for free + you get too see the nr. of votes. This way you can tell what type of costumes are more popular.
Well by that logic: it might be to your taste but that is irrelevant. :rolleyes:
You can go on about this but if you are trying to change my opinion then good luck.
I don't have a particular preference for the new costume pack, I'll be happy with whatever winner we get.
15mins! I am gonna go ahead and give a big thank you to Cryptic for doing this, there were tons of great entries and if you guys didn't know what we would like as a community now you do and you have plenty of suggestions to work with. I think the top 5 all deserve to see their pieces in the game at some point.
Congratz to Eiledon and Necratech009 for making an awesome piece!

Ah, add them "ALL", why not? :rolleyes:
I feel same, but my personality is expected only to yell "Urban Anime"! o3o
True, but with perfect world accounts being free even Arc isn't the best place to have a poll held. Someone with 2+ accounts will have multiple votes, which could skew the results.
Registration of some active account, maybe?
And grats guys! Gimme free set, pls??? :biggrin:

But even then it wouldn't be completely democratic because of alt-accounts. However, this way it would reach all of the player base.
Gratz to the winners, Liath and Necra ....look forward to using the set in-game

actually apart from the halter top under it. i've seen guys dressed like that. And in a lot more feminine clothes , their girlfriends kind of evened it out.
There are quite a few guys around, usually up to early 20's who are tryign all sorts of clothes and have good clothes sens for what suits them.

While this would probably be the most precise way of doing a contest like this... you're kinda overthinking it. There's a curve of marginal returns, and to get one more unit of Utility out of the contest, you'd need to add a lot more time and energy into executing it. The easier contests are to run, the more smoothly they go, in my opinion.
Congrats to the Holo Armor entries, and thanks to everyone who entered!
Holo Armor: 320
Variable Robot: 203
Urban Anime: 169
Steel Spider: 148
Cosmic Knight: 135
With time these scores will be less accurate, since entries will stay for voting indefinitely. I do not think if there is any way of locking final scores on FB or Arc, short of deleting entries.
Not bad. I'm actually surprised that Variable Robot scored that high, given its rather specific scope.
There are websites out there like surveymonkey that would be better then Facebook or Arc. While still possible to vote multiple times it takes a little more then just signing up for a new account.

Looking forward to seeing Holo Armor at the C-Store!

Congratulations to the winner though, I think a lot of people are going to be happy with your creation, but sadly, based on my own tastes, nothing in that set jumps out at me as being interesting.
I like the contest and I hope Criptic North runs it again in the near future. Maybe next time you should have a bit of a theme.
...what? Anime-based designs? I think you're thinking of the 'Urban Anime' one. I don't see how the Holo-Armor would be considered 'Anime-Based'.
Also, the Holohex set is the name of the In-Game set that was already made, these would probably look more like the PSI back unlock, or the Gadroon Bracers unlocks.

You're right, I was off on the name, but the dragon styling armor look is very anime-inspired, not at all referring to the urban anime set... that was just another symptom of the malady.
I guess it all depends on what anime-manga you have experienced :cool:
It's actually not, hang on. There's a whole (large) costume with it.

Go have a look.
I'm hoping they'll make these materials in the 'glass', 'holo-hex', 'Psi', 'Gadroon Shield', and Cloth/Leather/Metal as well. You could make some INSANE armor with them.
Thanks for sharing!
Yeah dude, if it was just a set of wings that won this contest? I'd be raging hardcore right now.
I'm not 12, I hate anime, and I think the winning costume idea looks great.
And maybe some parts in Variable Robot.
And I wouldn't be surprised if devs picked Urban Anime for voting to test reception for adding things like anime head, or hair.
While Holo Armor certainly has nothing to do with classic look of comic book heroes, it certainly does NOT look anime. The same about Psi Armor from the same entry.
