Background: The studio was connecting LAMO characters and community participation to game development; Halloween gave members a reason to show their taste. The Night Watchman, a longtime community presence, saw the contest bring people together and had to consider whether discussion could move from holiday decoration back to the work itself.
Today: The community held a Halloween card-back painting contest, with members putting their own creative spin on card decoration. At month’s end, BTC stood at 61,000, and the market was celebrating near its historic highs; the holiday activity and the outside market competed for attention.
Impact and next: The contest let community members take part through creative work rather than invitation counts. The Night Watchman planned to steer discussion toward the styles people actually wanted to see in the game, so the team could hear their ideas. Whether any submissions would shape later art remained unresolved.
