This is The Sims sparked game on a creative competition
where you design characters.
All things are best. Friends build anything you can imagine.
What the hell do you have everything you know and
tell original stories in The Sims?
A game played by fans all around the world judges.
How do we feel? I think you guys have really
great storyline totally touched me.
I'm so impressed with you guys did right now.
I want to win this so bad.
The Sims is a game where you create you control.
You rule. I have to destroy them.
It's the only option we're bringing together 12 players to
take this game to the next level.
For that they thought so screwed up.
Please please with new challenges designed to inspire creativity.
I am in it too.
What when X and compete for Grand Prize of $100,000,
this competition is such a logo sticker.
12 of the top players from around the world are
here to find out what this competition is all about.
Walking into the amazing the atmosphere.
I have no idea what's going on and what we're
gonna do,
but I'm just really excited and a little nervous.
I know I'm here for some sort of competition,
but like I'm kind of nervous for just going to
battle each other.
Welcome players to the home of The Sims.
I'm your host, Rayvon Owen and joining me is an
amazing panel of judges from our studio development team.
We have lead producer David Maki.
Some of y'all know him as SIM Guru Ninja right?
Yeah, I know that's him.
Grew ninja is going to be the judge to lookout
for.
He's the Simon cow out of the judges day.
What are you going to be looking for out of
these players?
Well these players have amazing amounts of Sims knowledge so
I want to see them transfer that knowledge into something
totally unique that I've never seen before.
Like that, we have BuzzFeed multiplayer producer and you tuber.
Kelsey in PK. I have a video producer.
I mainly focus in gaming content I ever started playing
The Sims back in like grade school.
I'm known for doing a series with The Sims where
I played the 100 Baby Challenge Kelsey.
What are you going to be looking for?
I'm going to be looking for a really good story,
something that hates you right in your feels and a
really good news.
So whatever elements we give you for each challenge and
we have sailor parks,
an American singer, songwriter and actress lesson story starts.
When I was around 12 years old.
And I was absolutely obsessed in a few years later.
I did this voice over for Sims,
so I've been doing voice over for the game ever
since then.
It will be looking for how you incorporate style and
everything you do and the way that you make you
SIM.
So the house that you put them in.
I just want to see be innovative with your styles.
So typically you be at home playing this game so
low,
but we're going to match things up a little bit
and do it a little different.
You will be working in teams of three.
Freaking out a little bit because I'm not used to
working in teams at all.
Like with other people, so I'm not sure how that's
going to look.
So let's do it. Let's pick our four teams at
random.
Each team will have a stylist builder and a storyteller.
A stylus creates the character known assumes the builder designs
the world's and the storyteller brings it all to life
by producing a dynamic narrative.
So together you'll compete in two different types of challenges,
a skills challenge with the winning team gets an advantage
and elimination challenge with the losing team goes home.
I've been in competitions before,
but I've never been in anything like this.
I guess I have to destroy them.
It's the only option. Improved plum,
Bella and English simmer you,
Artie. No, I'm English so that I'm from Manchester England
and I am here to win with The Sims being
the Tiger game that it is.
It just promotes inclusion on diversity and so when it
came to my own coming out,
I didn't really see it as a big deal because
I had grown up with a game that allowed me
to tell those stories anyway.
Little see ha doctor Ashley and Steffel Sims.
You are team Cowpland Everybody.
I'm doctor Ashley. I'm from Vancouver,
Canada. An I am a Sims for you tuber,
who primarily focuses on building an renovations and recreations.
I'm Steph, I am basically the dumpster fire of The
Sims community.
I grew up with severe social anxiety but when I
start playing the SIM did during this whole YouTube thing
I have become much more confident.
Person X Urban Sims, Spring Sims,
Indie Sims. You are team freezer money.
I unfriend them and I'm super excited to be a
part of this.
I'm so excited to be here.
My real motivation for all of this is all those
people out there who play The Sims or one of
the the you tuber,
or a streamer. I'm doing it for them saying that
you can literally do anything in your life as long
as you have confidence in yourself.
X mirror, mirror, SIM, Lissy and doctor glue on you
are team Llama I'm doctor glue on Golly Gee go
to Twitch answered for Maine,
my name is X Mirror Mirror and I'm from New
York.
Not join you too. I couldn't find any content creators
who had stories that looked like me,
so I came out with the melanin pack that added
about 30 additional skin tones to the game.
Get to know your teammates because now your fates are
Tide.
The last team standing will win the Grand Prize,
which is $100,000. OK, it's time for your first skill
challenge.
As you can see on each side of the room
there are two tables filled with items of inspiration for
your first challenge,
you each race to grab one of these objects,
which means that as a team you will have a
combined total of three different objects.
You're objects must serve as the inspiration for your creations.
I start getting these ideas in my head like OK,
what can I do? What can I use?
What item do I go for?
But I'm also ready for the unexpected.
I love to go a little bit darker,
sometimes out of Voodoo dolls can drive my story in
that direction.
You will be judged on the styling of your sins,
characters, your builds, and the story.
You tell that we use it all together and the
winning team.
Or receive an advantage in the first elimination challenge on
the counter three,
run off and grab your objects.
Why did I wear heels today if they had told
me I would have worn my sneakers one?
So.
I didn't think Simmons could be so fast.
Look boy, can people run.
I got slammed into the table just as I was
reaching for the Voodoo dolls.
I talked. As a team,
we want to earn an icy spring Sims item and
it's a camera and I'm like wait,
we didn't agree on a camera,
everybody's good. When you get to your workspace,
you will have 90 minutes of gameplay to create your
SIM characters.
Build your environment and incorporation storyline.
Good luck. Let's get to work.
Each of us had to create a story from said
items,
and I'm not gonna lie.
I got a little bit worried when I grab the
guitar.
He had a fishing pole and she had bubbles.
OK, so we gotta fisherman who's basically when I impress
his daughter.
His daughter wants to go to a concert.
But you know they're living on a fisherman's budget,
so the dad, the fisherman dad is going to put
on a constant for his daughter,
Doctor Blue ones like here's my dear nasty and I'm
like you do realize it's three of us and not
one right?
So I was thinking we got two dolls.
OK, you just gave me 90 it.
They look like punks doing a story about an old
woman whose ended up with the kind of adopting these
two kids and using this voodoo doll to make the
kids do all her. I think.
Child that doesn't want to be there.
No. She felt as a dancer herself,
so now she puts her child into pageants,
an we live in a bad and Bougie trailer.
It's lovely, absolutely tasteless. I'm story is going to be
about a teenage girl who wants to be a famous
singer of her.
Parents are very strict and really want her to get
the best education to become a lawyer.
OK, so I'm going to try to take to do
this in 20 minutes.
15 to 20 minutes. Remember we have to change them
all up,
so I'm give me a second.
I got shoes. Yeah.
With the story determined, each team stylist must create The
Sims or characters in the story.
Choosing from literally infinite options.
Each decision is vital. Boy this is.
YouTube. Judges they're always watching.
There's so many like details that you could dive into,
so it's going to be real interesting to see how
they manage their time.
But it also depends on their story,
where they were heading to,
'cause it might not be as important,
whereas for another team the outfits might be everything for
the story that pink sunglasses.
Oh my God, yes. As the Clock ticks on,
it's time for the builder to create the structures.
The world with the story takes place.
From the foundation to the interior details to the landscaping,
each choice has got to come together.
I would be worried for the builder because that takes
a long time.
People can take days on a build and finally the
storyteller brings it to life by directing the interactions between
the characters and the world.
All that has to happen in just 90 minutes.
Instead of doing full on builds because we're limited on
time,
I'll try to keep things to set so we could
rooms.
To have it done in 45 minutes,
it's going to be the challenge.
Will copy and paste it and just go at it.
Well, you're stressing, do it.
I can see it. I am stressed.
Time is definitely getting away from me and having in
two different suggestions in my ear at the same time.
It's too much spring Sam.
He's looking the wrong thing items where he shouldn't.
Decent doesn't get the opportunity to do a playthrough,
and this is going to bite us in the end.
You guys feeling good about the story?
I am. I like it.
So all of a sudden filled with nurse filled with
nurse,
definitely. I think he just got nervous 'cause the concept
we created was really good.
He just wasn't following through with what we agreed upon.
My goodness. What's going on.
Alright, Alright team. Time is.
Yup. Hands off the keyboard.
No more styling, no more building.
I am bricks right now.
I don't even know what I'm going to do.
I'm either going to be very nervous and stand in
the corner like a weird goblin or I will back
flip into the place.
We don't know what's going to happen.
Now it's time to present to the judges team.
Cow plan is first. Your three items of inspiration on
the radio,
the mirror and the bid team.
Cow plants. Trashy story focuses on Self Tanning.
Mom Karen Christy, a former pageant Queen now living vicariously
through her rebellious daughter Kaylin.
As for the build, doctor Ashley prescribes an ornate trailer
park fitting for a washed up pageant Queens.
So stefo, let's tie it all together.
Is. Let's start there patting so she loves to look
in the mirror.
She is completely unemployed. Sorry,
I'm having a blank. So Steven Sims freezes.
I know she's really nervous.
Sorry. All I wanna do is just like give her
a big old hug and tell her she's doing great.
It's such a terrifying moment.
But you know, Caitlin. She's angry when her mom forces
her to be in pageants and she's going to kick
her ball that her mom wants to go do a
practice pageant. It's time for her to show off her
moves.
Give me a bad blood.
Is she goes she stopped the lodging.
And that is the family.
Judges. Obviously, the execution of how the story was told
could have been just a little bit better,
but hey, it happens and I understand this is so
much brushing.
I mean, I definitely think that you really like do
something creative and knew that I haven't seen in The
Sims necessarily like it was a really fun idea.
This is a great build and I'm really excited by
it.
The outfits were really good step.
Oh, take a deep breath.
You don't have anything to worry about.
You know you are awesome.
That said, the storytelling felt pretty weak.
Hear her not wanting to kind of fall over her
mom's dreams and kind of go to soccer route was
a little unexplored.
Alright thank you team cow plant for your presentation.
You may now go back to your workspace.
Welcome team llama. Alright, your objects or the guitar,
the fishing pole and the bubbles time to meet team
llama spanning the bass family X mirror mirror styles.
The father of poor fishermen.
The young daughter of colorful music loving girl and Mrs
crumpled bomb.
The stodgy landlord of the families home,
this fishing shack built my SIM listening.
It's pretty tattered, so I tried to represent that with
some accessories that we have in the game like.
Tracks and stains.
Alright, my storyteller, we have our fishermen here and here
is his daughter who loves loves music.
Anna flavored ban happens to be the bubble boys.
You know she is a constant coming by and she
wants to.
She wants to go through the concert,
so let's have her ask dad.
She comes down here, she comes.
You know you've got the pressure of in front of
the judge.
Is there everything just like,
OK, gotta go. Gotta lower the punches and she's like
Dad's I want to go to the concert but our
boy look who it is.
It's all. It's older crumble bum she's like,
Hello you're late again on the payment for the you
know the fishing shack.
Oh yeah, I'll get that to you as soon and
with dad he's gonna come down and play some music
for his daughter.
He's going to put on a concert on his own.
So there we go.
Judges first of all that I think you got,
the character is down. I think you got the stage
right,
but the execution of the story that have been better.
I think that the bubbles you know could have been
a bit more utilized.
We technically didn't even see it.
I completely agree. I wish I would have seen those
used a little bit more creatively.
We have a bubble blower,
maybe that could have been worked into it.
Thank you guys so much.
Please go back to your workspace and will see you
soon.
I'm mad as hell. I mean it didn't have to
be perfect like it could have been better.
Way better. Alright come on out seem freezer Bunny nor
three objects were the microphone.
The camera and the heavy stack of books X Urban
Sims design centers around Natasha or better known by her
alter ego Tosh.
A musical genius being stifled by her parents who wanted
to go more studious route.
Spring Sims build consists of four separate sets including her
bedroom and over according studio.
The Sims give us this storyline,
but we're going to start here with Natasha,
which is supposed to be in debate club and you
know,
studying and doing everything to please everyone.
She actually has been skipping to come to the local
music studio to record her hit single despite her parents
plans.
She continues to be the person that she wants to
be because at the end of the day,
Natasha really just wants to become Tosh.
And that's a story. Judges,
I do think the making sure you tell the story
with each of the sets was like a unique way
of doing it,
so I'm a slightly disagree with you here.
Counseling, I respect your decision to do the separate spaces.
I can absolutely see why you did that.
I think you could push it a little bit farther
with the exterior decoration.
Even just putting some paint on the outside inside look
great.
Super super good interiors, but those exteriors I felt kind
of took me out of the story.
The judges seemed to. Not necessarily understand why we went
with what we did,
but I feel like overall we did pretty good next
step.
Team Gnome. Your three objects or an urn?
A cherry blossom tree and a voodoo doll for the
styles.
Plum Bella starts with the widow woman while mourning her
husband.
She decides to adopt the voodoo doll inspired punk kids.
And so improves build of this Victorian mansion equipped with
a giant cherry blossom tree.
Sets up are creepy tale.
One of the tower room is a little old crib
and it's full of cobwebs.
Wow.
Super moves build was so detailed for such a small
amount of time like that build really had me shook
something about you guys,
but I'm curious to hear the story.
What's been happening? Is she adopted these two?
In other words, she may have stolen the boys.
She's kind of this old.
Better woman, she uses the Voodoo dolls.
Still kind of terrorized the town.
She wants to create as much drama as she has
had in her life.
There we go. She's performing who do.
You had me on the build and then you kind
of lost me on the story.
Thought it was a great setup.
I just wish there was a much stronger climax to
his actions.
Are the stories that have been really really creative without
Voodoo Doll part was interesting,
but you completely didn't like hit the home run there.
I think that the build was really strong.
This is a huge thing to get done in the
time that you had.
So I like mad props to the ambition of this
team.
We have a lot to think about.
In the meantime, head back to the workspace and will
call all the teams back.
Almost. Yeah, like hoping that things are going to workout
'cause I think.
Teams come on back in.
The judges have made a decision.
I do feel as if I rumbled quite a bit
and I really felt as if I had let down
team.
No, because the judges actually said that the story was
the weakest part of the presentation.
Welcome back teens. I want to start with asking my
judges which team didn't cut it and why,
so I'm looking at freezer Bunny and I'm also looking
at llama today.
Would like to see a little bit more build on
both.
I thought some of the story elements were a little
desperate.
And I didn't think the usage of the three objects
was quite as strong as they could have been.
With That being said, our potential winners for this competition
cow plant.
Or No.
Genome. Translation It was such a creative way to incorporate
the Voodoo dolls,
and I thought that was really,
really cool. I don't think any of us were expecting
that.
No one, Oh no, Oh yeah,
certainly bigger problem no. By winning this skill challenge you
will get an advantage in our elimination challenge.
In this challenge, each team will be creating a new
family of four Sims.
This family will need a home in the Willow Creek
neighborhood.
And a back story that explains their relationship to one
another.
You'll also work with an editor to create a short
video presentation for our judges.
You will have five hours for this challenge.
Hey. I don't even know if you can do that
in that amount of time,
because creating videos with the SIM is usually takes days.
We really want to see some creativity,
some innovation, and what is a family mean to you.
And as an extra incentive,
the winner of this challenge is going to have their
family featured in The Sims 4 for all players to
experience.
There is a lot at stake.
Remember that the team that loses this challenge will be
the team going home.
The pressure mounts his teams head back to the work
room for the elimination challenge.
In the Clock begins to count down.
This is going to be really tough to pull off,
as were given five hours to do it,
but we're basically making a short film I can move
this idea of this new young family.
The mom gets a phone call.
There's been an accident and then we see like a
funeral typesetting.
I love drama and theater.
It was my bachelors degree in undergrad weep and the
camera.
Behind her and he, the Ghost is behind her.
OK, even in a time crunch.
I'm confident that I can pull something together with a
storyline that can really touch people.
I think their last name should be T to speak.
Came up with the TI family and the inspiration is
Gossip Girl.
Everyone is out to get each other although secretly they
all love each other and that is the wholesome message
of it all.
I reckon actually could do the Gossip Girl boys.
You could be like customer.
Got out with our grandma to founding Magnolia Park at
the place where families and kids can come together.
Keeping the roots grounded and this computer is going to
be the theme of the whole thing.
Adam and then I thought about her getting married.
I heard getting remarried well.
Doctor one takes control again.
I would throw out ideas he took what he wanted
to,
couldn't take what he didn't want to take.
The twin sister comes back to the house and she
says I've squared my branches.
Wider parts over. Remember to keep my room.
Bring it back to The Bachelor Grandma.
Give me this box. We are focusing on a young
family and the moon is going through a really tough
time with father and she actually runs away from him
and then these old ladies discover her and want to
take them in under her wing.
So there really like overarching theme was that family can
be anyone you choose.
That's what we're hoping to get out of this story.
Alright teams, can I get your attention for a second
please?
I'm here to tell you about an important twist in
this challenge.
You must now each incorporate arrival family into your storylines.
Aw, snap a family that hails from a different neighborhood,
so team gnome. Since your team won the skill challenge,
your advantage will be that you get to select the
neighborhood that your new crew hails from and the neighborhoods
that your competitors new families will come from.
Oh my God I'm alright alright I am feeling like
I am literally going to throw up all over the
keyboard because we don't have enough time for this twist
with my dog station. What neighborhood are you going to
select?
We're going to select on my shoe now.
What about your competitors? And we thought we give towns
to people who would do well with them.
So for your team we decided to give you a
Brindle and bear.
Thank you for coal plant and we decided to give
you get famous in Llama.
We decided to give you windenburg.
That's my favorite world are playing.
This is not going as I expected.
I thought you guys were going to be a little
harsher on them.
Well no. 'cause if I go out.
At least I'm going out for a nice,
you know, James I got some work to do.
I'll see you soon. So with the kitchen do maybe
we can do like island like no like against the
wall and so the other way that's right.
Go ahead, click it. And then I'm saying that has
island counters come out this way?
Yeah, Do you agree? It's a lot.
It is definitely hard when you have two strong people
talking to you at the same time and they just
don't know how to speak up for yourself.
Please. I don't wanna get too hung up on details.
You don't have much time left.
This lady, we have two hours left to edit an
voiceover and film I want this place to be for
the community for everybody to enjoy.
Meet Francesca and Romero Santiago is llama.
Llama is spilling secrets to the whole town.
My dad worked along OK,
so just move that over a little bit 'cause I
think there's another bit that needs to go in there
at this point.
Nerves are everywhere, were super behind and my team is
starting.
To get the fills, no point I'm sweating.
Do your magic Simon. Is it working?
How to use that? Oh my God.
Just stop the rest of close together and just the
voice over seeing at the time,
just count down. I don't even know if it is
going to come together or just exported exported.
Right? Yeah, right teams time is is it working?
Where did my file go?
Hands up hands up. To compliment you are up first
for your elimination challenge.
You were asked to create a family.
With the added twist of adding a second rival family
setup this video for us,
you thought you knew Willow Creek.
However, there's been another family here all along.
The T family has always been overshadowed.
Camille Ginger Winter and Chai.
Willow Creek has always had its secrets,
but now an anonymous user,
known only as drama. Llama is spilling secrets to the
whole town,
spotted Travis Scott taking a summer holiday in summer Holidays.
Bedroom hope he doesn't get burnt.
Spotted Cassandra Goth caught partying without her top on hope
she doesn't get kicked out of private school,
just leaked unedited photos of victorious star.
This seems to gram Batty is going to be it's
Instagram.
Maddie, but all of these secrets are safe with me
drama.
Llama signing off for today.
That was really cute. That was really cute.
I love the whole like you set the tone and
I was like I don't know if they're doing,
but that's one thing or they do and I was
like Oh they are but you still had it listed
the end,
which is excited by one critic would be like it
was.
It was, uh, sometimes felt a little bit unclear like
it kind of all kind of got a little bit
murky sometimes.
Yeah, maybe there was a few little rough edges in
the overall flow of the story,
but I think you guys really did a fantastic job
with this.
You should be. Very proud.
I got the exact reaction that I wanted.
I love seeing their jaws drop.
I love their reaction to the puns that we made.
I'm feeling really good. Next up is team llama.
Tell the judge is about your approach to creating this
new potential classic family in The Sims,
the soul of the Magnolia family intertwines within the vines
of Willow Creek.
And here's their story.
Welcome to Willow Creek. There's an empty lot a certain
family has their eye on.
Is the Shepard family for windenburg that wished to develop
their industrial complex.
However, Mama Magnolia wants to develop it into a park
where she can show her girls the importance of plants
and the importance of family roots.
What are you doing here?
We have plans for this lot.
We're going to be able to factory and did they
let nails and screws on it?
Luckily the mayor decided with my Magnolia to build the
park instead.
So sis, what do you want to be when you
grow up?
I want to travel the world and writes about everything
I see.
Overtime the sisters have grown apart.
Sarah has stayed in Willow Creek,
continuing her mother's legacy and sharing her love of plants.
She is meta husband and had two twin boys.
Her husband is actually the son of Mrs Shepherd,
merging the two families together and dissolving their differences.
Stacy decided to move home and continue their family bond
and grow their roots in Willow Creek.
All over the world, but I've learned that our roots
is what keeps us grounded.
Judges, I think no pun intended.
There was a seed of an idea there,
but I'm not sure if that seed really blossomed.
I didn't really get a sense of a real strong
rival,
and I really like the whole story of tying it
into Willow Creek in the park.
But I just feel like it didn't really go anywhere.
I would have to agree,
I what I will say is I love the fact
that you guys had some great lines.
Some things that made me laugh along the way Alright
seem llama.
Thank you so much for sharing your work.
Head back to the workspace.
I'm mad as hell. The story was all over the
place.
We didn't have a proper beginning.
Middle in on like this is driving me crazy.
Alright, team know you want the skills challenge?
Let's see if you can make it two in a
row.
Team gnome set up the story for us.
This is a conventional family but with an unconventional twist.
Hi, I'm Aaliyah. My family is a little unconventional.
We look happy, but it's taken awhile to get here.
Let me take you back.
My parents are great, but they went great together.
My dad worked a lot to supporters,
which meant he didn't have enough time for me and
my mom grand.
I kept pushing him to take over the family business
and some my shoe now and be the best that
he could be which ultimately pushed my mom to leave
with me for a while.
My mom tried to make the most of what we
had.
Until she stumbled across Marion blossom,
they helped us to build a life together.
Mary's favorite thing is being out in the sun and
tending to her garden.
Being the Explorer I was in learning to live off
the land made me discover my love of gardening.
Dad was impressed with our quality crops in dedication.
He even used his business knowledge to help me set
up shop and start selling my crops.
Marion blossom told me to follow my passions.
My mom while she taught me to never give up
and my dad taught me how to make those sweet,
Sweet Simoleons. Judges, I really appreciate it.
You guys taking the time and effort to incorporate several
skills and kind of career paths in it.
Really kind of painted a picture of this family like
the storyline was really good.
If I was to control that family.
I feel like I could take that story and just
keep on going with it.
I love the build like I like seeing it grow
with the new families addition.
I do like you know,
bringing the father back in and having him not necessarily
be the enemy of the family.
I think you could have added a little bit more
to that.
And of course super happy because Digital.
Like it specially like coming from ninja,
was like a developer, so if a developer tells you
that you did well,
that means like a lot to me.
Alright, last but certainly not least,
team freezer Bunny set up the story for us.
The story is of a family bond that cannot be
broken even by death.
Need franciscain Romero Santiago Young couple looking for their forever
home and with Francisca,
expecting their Twins any day now.
They need one right away.
I can't believe this house is still up for sale.
It's perfect. It's amazing it even has piece for your
studio.
Can we have these two before you start planning more?
Is happening Ono.
I'm losing it. We didn't get to finish our video,
he just stopped the rest of the clubs together and
just the voice over all I can think about is
this is so embarrassing.
I want to get this over with it.
Honestly, I could leave. I probably would.
have done differently as a team to make this good
story great,
it really kind of. I don't
First of all, can I just say good on you
guys for even though like knowing that maybe you didn't
do the best,
you still said you know what I want to show
something great job on that because that takes a lot
of guts.
Thank you. I'm really upset with you guys and not
for the reason you think.
Think you guys had a really great story line.
You know I had a death in the family recently.
Totally touched me. Even with,
you know lack of voice acting like you guys had
something really,
really special there. You guys came together.
You came together like 3/4 of the way there and
you were just missing that last little bit.
And you know, be proud of that.
Be proud of what you did.
'cause that was a very touching story.
Thank you. We have a lot to talk about.
Lot of decisions to make,
so why don't you head back and will see you
shortly?
Thank you. Thank you so much underneath all the tears
and what appears to be sadness were extremely proud of
one another in times where we gave up in times
where maybe we weren't even saying I did I still
hold on to each other and trust each other to
the finish line so.
Just we got a lot of talk about.
Alright, let's start with seem llama team llama definitely executed
the terms of the challenge.
They had every element that they needed to have.
We wish we saw more.
We wish they went deeper,
but llama delivered what we asked.
What do you guys think about seem Caplan as much
of a fun story as it was,
it felt a lot of outward facing.
It fell about like a lot about the rest of
the families and not about their family,
their family dynamic, these new characters.
So it's really good point.
Yeah alright, what about seem known?
I thought there was a few things are missing but
also they took it a step further to as well
which which would be made us feel like OK I
like what you do. And Lastly,
how do you think team freezer Bunny did I look
at freezer Bunny and you know there was missing elements
but made me feel something you know and if I
can feel emotion off a virtual characters,
I think that's really powerful.
But at the same time you know there was things
that weren't present that needed to be present.
And it's you know if this was a plate of
food.
It was only the main course and I need the
whole meal.
It makes it really hard to choose.
The judges have come to a decision for one of
our four teams.
The journey will end, and for the others is one
step closer to the $100,000 prize.
Even though freezer money did not finish their presentation,
I still think we're going to get a limited because
the story is all over the place.
Alright, teams, welcome back. Judges,
why don't you tell us who were our top 2
picks?
I think we loved team Gnome.
And I think we also loved team cow plant.
Both of you guys had strong story elements.
He delivered all aspects of the challenge,
good narration, great build, super funny.
You guys should feel very proud of the work that
you did.
So one of your families will go into the game.
And Dave, since you're my development guru,
do you want to know which family goes in?
Button. Genome. What? Challenges and we are feeling super confident
that we have what it takes to win this competition.
All players are going to get to go and see
the family that you guys made.
It's going to be in the game for everybody is
going to be super exciting.
Team Gnome Team Cowplant. Congratulations,
you are both safe. You are here to stay.
You both can return to your workspace.
Congratulation
Team Llama Team Freezer Bunny.
Unfortunately, one of your teams will be going home.
The story we've come up with is amazing and I'm
really proud of it.
Over all, the only issue is the execution.
I'm super Duper nervous. Oh,
I know we going home we can eliminate it like
it's over.
I'm going home to my cats and I'm taking my
fleet because I'm old so judges what were the problems
that we saw in these presentations?
You both did things right.
And you both did different things wrong.
Team Llama I would like to see a little bit
more drama,
alittle bit better editing, more cohesive story.
Definitely an improvement from the skills challenge but still not
quite there.
15 freezer Bunny you guys had.
Honestly the highest higher the night for me.
Like you absolutely touched me.
You know, if you can make me feel emotions about
something that's not real.
That's pretty powerful, but sadly as high as your high
was,
he had things missing, and that's very hard to kind
of.
Bridge that gap team, llama team freezer Bunny.
We agonized over this for awhile.
Team freezer Bunny. Your journey ends here.
I feel numb. I don't know what's its encounter feel,
but at the end of the day,
even though we weren't able to have her story come
together,
they came together as a team.
YouTube.
Working with X Urban Sims,
a spring sounds. It was so fun we had some
falls,
but it definitely taught me a lot and I'm just
really excited to see where we all go from here.
Create a short video story with the following theme supernatural.
So we have to like really make something got changed
on the slave real quick.
Do you feel like you're over thinking everything?
This is all me. It's almost like we have something
to prove.
I'm thinking out a little bit about time you could
see like steam coming out of my brain.
That's fine, it's it's way too late yeah I'm feeling
really stressed because I don't think we're going to watch
this before showing it to the judges.
Judges how do we feel I'm more impressed with the
building in the storyline.
I thought the overall structure of the story was good,
but look at what we did here and take it
to the next level.
I'm really sorry to do this to you guys.
