Long time no post, my dudes.
As I'm sure you're all aware, it's
spooky season, and you know what that means?
Halloween Submissions!
I'm sure most of you are aware how this works, but for those who don't, allow me to explain. This event will work just like the Christmas event, only there won't be 4 categories to theme your stuff as. Just one theme this time, and that theme is...
!!HALLOWEEN!!
I hope that was obvious...
Those of you whose submissions get accepted and put in-game will receive a reward of
10,000 gralats for more complex items (ex. hats, mounts, furniture. etc.) or
5,000 gralats for simpler items (ex. toys, food, etc.)
AND your submission(s)!
All the player submitted items will be sold in the Candy Shop at Deadwood
We want you guys to submit the
spookiest,
scariest and, of course,
most creative stuff you can come up with!!
Of course, the same rules apply here as the Christmas submission and uploading rules which are as follows:
- All Content must be made solely by you, from scratch, meaning no edits of existing content
- Any graphics made between two or more people as a collaboration can only gain the rewards on a singular account
- NO copyright infringement
- Keep things appropriate (i.e. nothing obscene, indecent, or controversial in nature)
- Do not use pure black (#000000) or pure white (#ffffff). If you use these colors, they will be transparent in-game
- You may submit multiple items
- If you make recolors, you will receive all the colors you submit but will only receive the gralats for the one hat. You cannot accumulate more gralats from multiple colors of one item
- All submissions must utilize one of the provided templates. Custom sized mounts, furniture, etc. will not be allowed
- All submissions must be either a .png or .gif file format. Any other file formats (ex. .jpeg, .jpg, etc.) will not be accepted
- Accessories will not be allowed for this event
- This thread will be used for questions and comments only. Posts not pertaining directly to this event will be removed. If you wish to post your progress and receive or give constructive criticism, please use the progress thread
If you're interested in submitting content for this event, then upload your creations to an
image hosting website (such as
imgur.com) and email the links to
[email protected]. Title the email "
Halloween Submission" and include your
Graal ID (which can be found in the feedback menu in-game).
If you do not include your Graal ID you cannot receive your reward should your submission be accepted!

The deadline for all submissions is
October 25th, 11:59pm/23:59 EST
Here is the VIP color palette for any base colors that you'd need so they match body colors
Also here's a website where you can
test certain items you've made! Made by our very own Dusty, it's really useful and even staff use it! Just drag and drop your submission onto the character and it'll show you what it would look like in-game. that way you can make sure it works properly or looks how you intended it.

~FAQ~
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask down below! I'll update this FAQ as questions come.
Question
Can people not on the forums (but still play Graal) submit items?
Answer
Absolutely! This isn't strictly a forums event, though it would be best if said person checks out this thread to get all the information they might need. They don't need a Graalians account to be able to view this thread. The link to this thread is tinyurl.com/halloweensubmissions and this link is also in my status in-game.
-----------------------------------
Question
Can we attach files to the email or do we have to use an image hosting site?
Answer
We would prefer you use an image hosting site, but if you absolutely don't want to do that and the files you send are either .png or .gif file formats, it would be fine.
-----------------------------------
Question
Can we color pick from existing items? (example: taking the orange from the pumpkins in-game)
Answer
That would totally fine, and a good idea for the sake of consistency!
-----------------------------------
Question
Would blood, organs and monsters be allowed?
Answer
I don't see any problem with that as long as it's not too over-the-top! It is Halloween, after all! Just keep in mind that a lot of kids do play this game, so as long as you follow the rules listed above you should be fine.
-----------------------------------
Question
Can we make hats that might look like accessories?
Answer
Anything that would be better made as an accessory wouldn't be accepted (ex. no glasses, scarves, backpacks, wings, etc.)
