“The next design challenge is Story10.

If you are an old-school member, you remember Atmosphir before info stickers. These wonderful simple little tools have added much-needed storytelling into the game, and it’s now hard to imagine them not being there. Yes, eventually NPCs and dialogue will take that to the next level, but it’s actually pretty impressive what users are already doing with multi-level adventures, secret messages, hints, and enemy dialogue.

In Story10, we’re looking for the best story-driven level – the only requirement is that you tell a compelling story of some sorts using info stickers, and preferably, the environment and gameplay. Some ideas to get you started:

+ A narrative-based adventure in one of the many worlds of Cirrus
+ A mystery level where info stickers provide clues to solving a bigger crime
+ A treasure hunt where there clues to hidden stashes of treasures
+ A trivia level where you have to know the answers to questions to proceed (pick the right door)
+ Having interesting characters/enemies who talk with you
+ An interactive story you watch from afar, like being in a theater
+ An Atmosphir recreation of a famous book, movie, TV show, video game, or song

Make sure to include [Story10] as one word in the title of your level to enter. The deadline is Thursday, July 1.

As usual, the top 3 levels as voted by the community will win atmos. But instead of a random winner this time, now that we’re live, the designer who has the level with the most number of plays by midnight PST on July 8 will get an Atmosphir tee-shirt – so tell all your friends to play your level!

Good luck!”
