I’d LOVE this idea, but I think they’ve already said that this can’t happen due to legal reasons, which makes sense.
Personally, I’d sign every waiver on the planet if it meant getting a character that I envisioned in to KI. I think that’d be awesome and I’d love it if they’d find a way to do something like this. Of course, I say this when I can write relatively well, yet I draw like a five year old using crayons with their feet lol.
I think it’d be a great idea to have a fan creation contest. I mean I dunno if IG would turn the winner’s design into a full blown character, but still something official would be neat. Include art concepts, storyline and background, etc…
This is definitely something I’d love to see in KI. Would be enjoyable, but for a season where I’m guessing a lot of the characters/roster is already defined, I’d see it as something that might be in, either as a bonus character or something for S4.
As awesome as it would be to see a fan made character actually show up in KI that wasn’t my intention with this poll because I think the chances of that happening are very low. I just wanted to see if people in the community wanted to take part in a contest that was more for fun and for the many people who have character designs already in the forums. If IG or Microsoft could offer up some prizes as well that would be awesome but unfortunately there’s no guarantee of that either.
I’ve heard a lot of the ideas from users of this forum and frankly I trust IG to deliver much better characters, especially if their creativity is unconstrained by the results of contests.
This might fly if there’s a season 4 and IG is really hard up for character ideas. Currently I think they’re much better off sculpting their own characters.
We’d all win if there was a contest because it would just bring together the community in a way where we’d be rooting for each other and celebrating each others creations (I know it wouldn’t be that idyllic but it’s still an awesome time). I’ve entered a bunch of contests like this and I’ve never won but I had a blast each time.
I want people to be excited and have the same outlook as you @EndokukenS3; enter just to put your work on display.
