Our annual holiday celebration, Makersmas, returns to Mondrian - Plastic Reality on December 1! This year, we'll be doing things a little differently, and instead of a Competitive Gala, we will be running Makersmas as a Community Gala, which means most of the activity will take place outside of the game. Read on for how we'll be managing things a little differently this time around. We think you'll like it.
Weekly Prompts
Each week you'll be given a new prompt here on Steam, and it won't just be for Mondrian Maker creations. You'll get to share your creations, your Museums, screenshots, gifs, videos, and more. Certain community actions, like using #makersmas on Twitter, will add points to the Community Gem Pool. When you finish a round in any Quick Play mode, or grab your daily Gems from the Gem Tree, you'll earn the Gems from the pool too! These Gems will be cumulative all month long, meaning the more you share, the more everyone earns. All you have to do is follow the weekly prompts here and on our Discord. We in turn will share your posts, and Maker creations in particular on the Mondrian Makers Instagram account. Let's see how high up we can get the Community Gem Pool before New Year's Eve!
Charity Endeavor
During December, we'll be jumping onto our Twitch stream once in a while to raise money for Give Kids the Arts and the International Arts Foundation for Kids.
"Give Kids The Arts is a branch of the International Arts Foundation for Kids (IAFK), a registered 501(c)(3). We collect new art supplies, new and gently used music, and dance equipment, lessons, studio time, tickets to museums, shows, and concerts and distribute these items to less fortunate children in our communities where artistic pursuit can be difficult."
Our donation campaign for the month will go live on December 1, and we will be live every Thursday afternoon in December to reach or surpass our goal. Please join us, follow and raid the channel, and donate if you can. Hope to see you there!
Incoming Update
On November 30, version 1.4.5 of Mondrian - Plastic Reality will go live. This update will also include brand new Makersmas and other Spotlight Artworks in the Museum. Makersmas does not officially start until the next day, but will go live automatically at the stroke of midnight EST, December 1, and will run through 11:59pm on December 31. As usual, while Makersmas is live, you'll be able to grab daily gifts from both trees in the Museum. If you want to grab the elusive "Makersmas Goodies" (open 10 Cosmetic Gifts), "Makersmas Riches" (open 10 Gem gifts), and "Makersmas Avarice" (open 40 gifts total) Achievements, you have the whole month to do it.
Updating to the latest version is necessary if you want the benefits of the Community Gem Pool. An internet connection is required to access Makersmas features.
We're extremely excited for this new take on Makersmas and we hope you'll come be a part of it! See you very very soon, and as always, thank you for playing.
