Get Me Off The Moon Neo Devroom Event: Airship Design Contest


It’s been a little while since we last posted about a Neo Devroom Event from 100,000 Strong for Mega Man Legends 3 in this space, but the folks there have come up with a fun and fascinating idea for a new contest in the spirit of those once held by Capcom for the ill-fated project: Airships!

After all, who doesn’t love a good airship? They can be sleek and stylish, grand and majestic, or even just downright funny looking. Plus, they can take you to wherever you need to go in a world covered by endless water, and give you a place to rest your head after a hard adventure, among other things.

“The Legends series has always been known for its unique airship design style. Most of the crafts seem to resemble huge fish (or birds, in the case of the birdbots), with large, “fin-like” wings sticking out from the sides and circular, red/green windows on the front that look like fish eyes. They’re also generally on the bulky side. It’s a very distinct style, one that’s undoubtedly made its mark on so many who have played the Legends games; therefore, we thought it’d be fun to have our supporters try to re-capture this style, in as unique a way as possible, by designing and submitting their own Legends airships!

The wide-array of airships in the Legends universe were definitely a huge part of what made the series so interesting; as a result, we hope all of you do your best to come up with some genuine-looking, yet unique designs, and maintain the superb level of imagination that this series is known for!”

Participants can have up to three different entries with up to three images per submission, and while you can collaborate, only one person gets to bring home a prize. You can’t have explicit content, of course, and imagery is required– no text-only submissions. Following is a sample entry:

-Example Submission- 

Name of participant: Dashe

Teammates’ names (if any): None

Airship name: The Gallanton Borealis

Airship description: This one’s for your long-term travel and lodging needs. If you’re a member of a larger family or digging team, you’ll find everything you need to take your home to the skies full-time with the Borealis. This hefty airship boasts up to six bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a common area along with the standard airship fare–bridge, engine room, you know the drill here. Have I mentioned it has a two-level deck outside? That planking is 100% weather resistant. The engineers at Gallanton are all about giving their all and with the Borealis, it sure shows.

Entrants have until May 4th to enter and revise their entries as necessary, at which time a panel of judges will make their decision.
