Our top category winners will each receive a $20 Steam gift code, and free Raifu Wars keys. Runners-up will also receive free keys and the opportunity to include their map in the game.

How to Enter




  • Upload your map to the Steam Workshop
  • Reply to this post with a link to your map by February 20th
  • Send us an email at yotisstudios@gmail.com or join the Raifu Wars Discord (so we can send your prize if you win)

By entering the contest you are allowing Yotis Studios to include your map in the game.

FAQ



Can I submit maps that I already uploaded to the Workshop?
Yes, we encourage you to enter any of your maps!

Can I submit multiple maps?
Yep, you can submit as many maps as you want. First place prizes will however be limited to 1 per person.

How do I upload to the Steam Workshop?
From the editor, save your map. You should get a prompt asking if you want to upload to the workshop, click "Yes" then wait for it to appear in the workshop. If you're on macOS, the Steam API isn't currently working so you'll need to find your map in "~/Users/[your username]/Library/Application Support/com.yotisstudios.raifuwars/maps" and send it to us (sorry, we're working on fixing this!)

Good luck, we luck forward to seeing your entries!
