Trapped inside this Halloween? Every haunted house you usually go to shut down? Every porch light down the street turned off? Fear not! Turn off the lights, close your door, and embrace the unknown with VRChat Spookality 2020.
While everyday feels like Halloween at VRChat, Spookality is a special time of year where our creator community showcase their fun, strange, and horrifying worlds and avatars.
Bigger Prizes!
This year’s prizes are bigger and better! The categories and prizes are:
- Best World (PC) —1x Valve Index VR Kit
- Best World (Cross-Platform) — 1x Oculus Quest or 3x Vive Trackers
- Best Avatar (PC) — 1x Valve Index VR Kit
- Best Avatar (Cross-Platform) — 1x Oculus Quest or 3x Vive Trackers
For each of these categories, you can submit using our submission form. Ensure that you read up on our Terms and Conditions for the contest before submitting! These are available at the Spookality website. Violating these Terms (or the Terms of Service / Community Guidelines of VRChat) will result in disqualification.
Submissions to the PC categories may contain assets solely for PC. Submissions to Cross-Platform categories must contain assets for both PC and Quest usage, and should function when players from both platforms are present.
In addition, all content submitted must employ the latest VRChat SDK3 appropriate for the content submitted. Worlds must use VRCSDK3 for Worlds, and avatars must use VRCSDK3 for Avatars. Use of advanced Udon or Avatars 3.0 features is recommended, but not required. Both versions of the VRCSDK3 are available for download on our website. If you want to learn how to use VRCSDK3, check out our documentation for the core systems in VRCSDK3-Worlds and VRCSDK3-Avatars.
Submissions will be accepted starting on August 25th, 2020 and will end on October 23rd, 2020 at 12pm PT. All submissions must consist entirely of original assets and the submitter must own full rights to the content (and all components of the content) submitted.
More Prizes!
Each category will have 2x runners-up who will receive:
- 1x “Troll” Ceramic Mug and 1x $25 Threadless Gift Card
In addition to their main prizes, all category winners will also receive one limited-edition “Troll Mug”.
Please be advised, specific containment procedures will be included with the VRC-009 shipment and must be followed. Failure to do so will likely result in breach. Recontainment is… difficult.
The submissions will be ranked by a spooky mystery panel of judges. The winners of the contest will be announced on or about November 9th, 2020, and will be announced via a post on our blog.
In addition, if you want to feature your Spookality-themed world, you can do so with a custom World row we’ll be adding soon! Simply add the tag “halloween” to your world, and it will appear in the World menu. You’ll also see Halloween worlds from previous years appear in this row. If you’d like to show off your Spookality-themed avatars, feel free to put them into an avatar world (tagged with “avatar”) and throw on the “halloween” tag as well.
The administration looks forward to your submissions to Spookality 2020. We will observe your progress with great anticipation.
