This week’s Community Spotlight focuses on the efforts of Stile Teckel and his community hub, The Caverns; “Dedicated to delivering ALL the news, to the fans and community, the way YOU
want to get it.”
Running since the SotA Kickstarter, The Caverns is a news blog and information site containing photos, forums, RP stories archive, links, and more. The Caverns contains linked articles and photos from up to a year prior to the Kickstarter with future plans to include streaming play tips and themed articles such as National Geographic style write-ups for SotA locations. The Caverns’ primary goal is be a method of access to all SotA news including Portalarium announcements, game details, dev/artist bios, guild activities, community developments, and anything else SotA related. The Caverns publishes to multiple social networks so fans are able to get the news delivered using the tools they prefer. Additionally, Stile is continually on the lookout for guest authors to publish news from other community hubs or on themes of their own.
Greetings Fellow Avatars!
Welcome to another edition of Update of the Avatar! Here’s what we have for you this week:
[Chris Spears narrates a walk-thru of the Scene Jam #3 Winners]
The Unity Scene Jam #1 challenge was to build an ancient lunar rift. The second scene challenge took a step forward in time to when people retreated underground and created the catacombs. For Scene Jam #3 we took another step forward in time to when people moved back to the surface and rebuilt villages and towns, so the challenge for Jam #3 was to build a village scene.
Greetings Fellow Avatars!
Welcome to this week’s edition of Update of the Avatar! More cool stuff to share, including:

Sorry for not getting these posted sooner but the machine we were using to build all the levels for viewing decided it was time to go to computer Heaven. New machine built, levels all downloaded and tested. The Scene Jam #2 challenge was to help us create the catacombs!
Tons of great ideas and some awesome execution on the part of the participants. There were a number of scenes that came in that were nearly to a quality bar that would let us just add creatures and drop them in the game which is truly amazing for a 48 hour jam. Next week we will do a hangout to go over some of the levels that weren’t in the top 3.
This was the first time we used the scoring system and it worked great. The top three scoring maps were 93, 90, and 88…all so very close! And the winners are:
