Administrator Jatheish Posted May 21, 2017 Administrator Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hey Survivors! Welcome to the latest edition of the Community Crunch! The Community Crunch is where we share important things going on with ARK, as well as host contests and showcase creations made by the community! Let's get started with some news. Your ARK Story! We're still collecting stories, everyone! Let us know about your player experiences with ARK How do you play ARK? Do you think you have a unique experience with the game? Please check out the post below and share your experiences with us. Community Contests! Player Procedurally Generated Maps! The Procedurally Generated Map system allows players to make their own ARK maps by determining a myriad of landscape options from the heights of mountains, depths of valleys, and the number of lakes, rivers or oceans, to the kinds of each biome they want, and more! Let's check out the entries for this weeks contest! This week's contest winner is... Wolf Angelus! If you'd like to try the map out yourself, we'll be featuring it on one of our Extinction Servers next month, or you can get a head start and set up the settings yourself!

Compose shots from any position, adjust with post-process filters, capture HDR images in high-fidelity formats, and share the screenshots in 360 via a smartphone, PC or VR headset. Learn more about these features from the NVIDIA blog. Now let’s get to the contest! There were 3 potential categories for survivors to enter their shots into and they were the following: Three Categories Super Resolution: These should be taken at 8x Super Resolution. Players can optionally use Depth of Field effects accessible in Spectator mode by pressing the [Delete] key. Panoramic 360 Stereoscopic 3D: These should be taken at 4x Super Resolution, in 360 Stereoscopic 3D mode. We will crop them to 2D for web display, while also providing the 3D version for viewing within VR display. Freeform: Any settings, whacky and creative use of Ansel filters are encouraged. Adding humorous titles/captions in Photoshop is also acceptable for this category! And now without further ado, here are your entries!

And without further ado, the ARKVideo for Community Crunch 93 is... LameWolfProductions with their own take on Casual Fridays ARKitect! This is an award given to Survivors to celebrate the amazing structures you build. These bases are judged based upon a number of different factors such as their creativity, uniqueness, how fun of a base it is, the difficulty of building it, the functionality it provides and much more! The ARKitect for Community Crunch 93 is… ranger1presents with their Pimped Up home! A very impressive usage of lighting throughout the entire build, felt like I was watching a house that would belong to Tony Stark, certainly pimped out to the max! We're sure Thorwal is very pleased with this awesome presentation of their mod. That's not all! We've got some runner ups! We would also like to congratulate Lusaka6 for being a runner-up this week! A very impressive looking ARK Logo and on console nonetheless, that must not have been easy! As well as SWChris for their awesome ARK Victorian Home! A great showcase, as well as an informative guide! Something we would definitely come across in an RP server. Has there been a Victorian Season? If not, here's a guide to get started on builds!

Wolf Angelus Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Do people want more comics & like the idea? @Jat Did me deleting my old video for ARKitect submission and uploading a new one with an adjustment a few hours ago cause it to be missed by chance? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite14life Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 @Jat When are we going to be getting word on Ark Primal Survival as well as Ark Park. Many fans are still wondering if you have cancelled it. Don't ignore the issue and hope it will simply go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger1 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Everyone did an excellent job, and LameWolf crew your voice work and script was top notch this time around. I also have to say to SWChris, it's videos that go into that kind of detail that really help newer players wrap their heads around what can be done with ARKs building mechanics. I'm also really pleased to see the submissions in the screenshot section, some of them are extremely well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Those images are from my largest mega build I did a year ago, Bioshock inspired style. Some of the original components like lanterns were missing due to changes to the mods. You can view the full thing with all its original pieces in this video starting at 13:10 for the park specifically.

Thanks! I don't believe so, I am pretty sure we caught the updated video. I thought the comic was pretty good , nice to see an appearance from the Tickle Chicken.

Don't ignore the issue and hope it will simply go away. We don't really work on ARK Park, just creatively consult so not sure on the timeline for that and I don't really have any news to share about Primal Survival at this time when I do I will. Right now the team is just focused entirely on the development of the main game and wrapping up it's content. 13 hours ago, Wolf Angelus said: Thanks.

Wolf Angelus Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) 4 hours ago, Jat said: Do you keep all your save files for your creations? Yes I do, I started saving them from that creation onwards :3 . I regret not saving the Nightclub build, would have made an epic 360 inside. Edit- You could say I am also pretty proud of all my work, and to date I have spent around 1,100 hours building, so I wanted to keep it as a portfolio of my creativity, and you never know when there could be a use for it (in this case, Ansels!). I am a slight packrat too. Next image set will come from one of your most favorite creations, the Fantasy Sea-port :3 Hoping to grab a few really cool 360's and 8x's, and of course I shall do another comic strip.
