Hey guys! As you know we really love running our weekly screenshot contest. It's now been a year, meaning that we went over 50 themes, and more than 100 winners had their screenshots featured on our loading screens. As you can imagine, it's tricky coming up with new theme ideas every week after you've gone through 50, so if there is any theme or themes (you can and should add more than one ) that you would like to see in the future please do let us know below! We will collate them together and hopefully have enough to use for another year or so So if everyone interested could throw in their ideas here I would be very very grateful! Thanks. Dmitri
Details. Like, close-up shots of small details that might be hard to notice. That could work. Also maybe different colors, like, say, "red" as a theme.
Hey Dmitri, this one is a bit meta. How about: Trees. Specifically the screenshot contest the week of the TSW2020 update haha
https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/poll-weekly-screenshot-theme-suggestions.14011/ This thread did this same shout out awhile ago... there were lots of good ideas put forward so I'll resubmit. For a reminder, here are ALL the themes that have ever been used- mostly in order from beginning to current. Exhaust Fumes Passenger Services Freight Bridge Water Sunshine USA UK Germany Industry Rural Station No Trains Mountains / Hills Interiors Busy Rail Traffic Nature Dawn Wonderful Waters Green Signals Autumn / Fall New York Whatever we wanted Winter New Beginnings Commute Pride Train Interior Morning Railroad Crossings Main Spessart Bahn Spring Urban Sprawl Industrial Estate Driver’s View Front of the train From above Sunset Drive German Collection Diesel Gala Slow Summit Rain Tees Valley Holiday Season Awaiting Departure Yards On a Bridge Freestyle Weighty Freight Station Wagons Water Speed The themes suggested in that thread include (some which were done): Railroad crossings Track side signage Refueling People / pedestrians / passengers local businesses Real Landmarks- (ProfCreeptonius also submitted) Video, not screenshot -Edited, not like in game -TSW Advertisement -High Speed -Wind -Train interior -Tunnels -Night -Skylight -Stars -Signals (not only clear) -Stuck at danger -Safety -Track infrastructure -Level crossings -Stations -Historic -Modern -Hot summer -Reflections -Slippery Tracks -Powerful trains -Reversing -Loose consists -Long trains -Short trains To be honest I don't think it would hurt to redo some of the original themes since there is a lot of extra content that's been added since this event started and many, many new perspectives for old themes exist. It would be worth going back and looking to see which past themes brought in the most submissions and go from there.
