Dual Universe Space Station Building Contest Winners TBA

Novaquark, developers of sci-fi MMO Dual Universe, are set to announce the winning entries from their Space Station Building Contest, which began last October and concluded with their recent super-test session. The contest, which was open to all Alpha backers, saw dozens of incredible submissions built entirely by players in the game’s shared universe, all of which are a testament not only to the players’ great creativity but to the capabilities of the game’s unique, in-game construction tools as well.

Dual Universe is unique in that its content is entirely created by players in a single-shard world, and is driven by their creativity in building constructs using only the in-game tools — anything from space ships, to buildings, to space stations, and everything in between. Novaquark has held similar contests in the past, challenging players to create the best in-game puzzle, spaceship, outpost, and small dynamic construct. “It’s amazing what our community keeps coming up with to surprise us,” said CEO Jean-Christophe Baillie. “We just give them the tools, and sometimes we wonder how they managed to manipulate the game in such creative ways.”

With this latest contest, many entrants teamed up within their organizations to build massive, complex space stations with varying gameplay purposes in mind. Some even found creative ways to use gravity as a fun gameplay mechanism. Whether as refueling / trading stations, defensive outposts, or organizational HQs, space stations will serve as important hubs for some of Dual Universe’s main gameplay loops, including dynamic economy and organizations.

Featuring crew quarters, ship docking points, and plenty of customizations, Dr. Rhubarb’s ‘Port Albatross’ is a marvel of digital engineering and a true showcase of what’s possible with Dual Universe’s in-game tools

Designed by Flip360 and built by the New Genesis organization, the AMN Aspire is a battle station that serves as a defensive rearming and repair post for the organization’s navy.
