[NABlog] Grand Chase Fashion Design Contest 2013

Grand Chase Fashion Design Contest 2013

ABOUT GRAND CHASE

In celebration of Grand Chase’s 10th year in online game service and 5th anniversary in North America, GameRage and KOG Studios are calling all artists to submit a fashion design concept for the game.

Grand Chase is a free-to-play online action game developed by South Korean game studio KOG.  Released in 2003, the game is one of the first in its genre as a two-dimensional side-scrolling MMORPG.  Currently, Grand Chase has servers all over the world including South Korea, Hong Kong, Philippines, United States, Brazil and more.

The background story in Grand Chase consists of young heroes forming an alliance to capture Kaze’aze, the Queen of Darkness.  Each hero is a playable character in Grand Chase and has its unique weapon and fighting style.

Although Grand Chase heroes are mostly wearing armors and weapons, the game also provides a fusion system (coordi) which allows the players to decorate their game characters with different virtual fashion items.  Currently there are many coordi themes in Grand Chase including Halloween set, pajama set, school uniform set, beach set and more.

We invite gamers and designers of all age and nationality to show off their creativity by making an awesome design set for Grand Chase characters.  One lucky winner’s design will be delivered to the game’s development studio and made into real in-game item that will be exposed to millions of Grand Chase players all over the world.
