āµCaptain's Logāµ - Community Cloud Council 2.0
Greetings Wanderers of the vast and unknowable universe,
As many of you have been buzzing about this, the new CCC selection is upon us.
Community Council
For those of you who missed the initial post you may find it here, but in a nutshell - the Council is a community focus group helping us get concise feedback across the board as we make decisions in development and represent and represent community sentiment. You want to build a bigger, better community for yourself and your friends!
We have looked into various online voting platforms and itās looking like with enough dedication one can easily cheat the system.
The CCC members sign NDAs, and Herb and the devs can contact them in regards to questions they have. Examples from the last CCC sessions: PvE server, feature implementations, player-facing bug prioritisation. This means you have to be an active player.
Sometimes Herb will ask āshould we do a thing?ā, sometimes tell you āhey, weāre doing a thing.ā and we will have a short period of very passionate debate from some CCC representatives, better preparing us for bringing the new changes to the wider community, and knowing what problems to anticipate.
Basic Requirements:
Good to have:
What will be required of a CCC member:
Email me on Community@bossastudios.com or respond to this thread with nominations. Response deadline is the 16th of November.
A panel of Bossians will do an initial screening of all candidates. Final 10 candidates will be selected at random on stream.

Tutorial Video Series
As you know, New Foundations marked the largest introduction of new features since Worlds Adrift launched into Early Access back in May. As such, we thought (Well, Strite is the daddy of this one) it might be handy (or should that be hooky?) to start a new series of tutorial videos.Ā To kick things off, weāre discussing the differences between the PvP and PvE servers, the deadly new threats youāll encounter on islands, and the measures weāve introduced to counter griefing!Āhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAU5JUi2ba0
Halloween Competition
Original post: HERE
Using the freeĀ Worlds Adrift Island Creator toolĀ (shameless plug: each and every one of the 300 gorgeously intricate islands that make up the world of Foundation was made by a member of the community), we want you toĀ create a Halloween-themed island, based on one of the following (if not all three!) themesā¦
Ā
1. House on the Haunted Hill
2. Purgatory
3. The Abandoned Carnival
Ā
But sky pirate that you are, what about that glittery prize we hear yeā ask? Wellā¦ all entries will be reviewed by our illustrious production team, whoāll not only be looking for flair and creativity, but something that would thematically fit within Worlds Adrift. As well as beingĀ added to the world, theĀ winning islandĀ will be lovingly transformed into aĀ wall-worthy watercolourĀ by our eminent in-house artist, Dan Lish, for you to keep! Plus, weāll also present the winning entry, as well as two runner-ups, with one of the aforementioned (and in very much limited supply!) goat masks.

Have a spooktastic weekend, and we will see you in the skies :D

Shiny Prizes Await, But Dare Ye Enter our Halloween Competition?
Ahh Halloween, that blessed time of year when we have absolute carte blanche to add something decidedly spoopy (and only very loosely lore-tying) to Worlds Adrift. This time round? Thanks our latest update - the Pumpkin Patch - those with a nose for loot will be able to sniff out a pretty darn terrifying satanic goat mask (we, ahem, kid you not!), a Jack-oā-Lantern themed... um, lantern, a few time-limited potions, and last but not least, some black and orange material dyes! But what good is Halloween without at least one shoehorned (or should that be goat horned?) competition, eh?!
