[Administrator]

ARK: Survival Evolved developer Studio Wildcard, in association with Alienware, are giving away $25k in a contest to folks who can make the best mods for its prehistoric playground.
The mods can be either new maps, modes or functions. "Some interesting possibilities include new biomes such as desert or an alien world, or even a focus on sci-fi, ruins, or underground environments," the developer stated in the contest rules. "New content and mechanics are also possible within your map!"
Regarding new modes and functions, Studio Wildcard added, "Rather than creating a new map, you could create a traditional 'mod' that overrides existing game content or adds new mechanics. Some possibilities include competitive modes, rebalanced or modified survival mode, new structures and items -- and with Unreal Engine 4 Blueprint scripting, you can extend the original game's functionality in nearly unlimited ways!"
