Contest: make a fan trailer for Citadel!🎞️
Total paid $200
Citadel offers a panoply of experiences: tension, strategy, action, and - of course - economics!
For this reward, make your own trailer that does justice to one or all of these experiences, and of the deep, rich game that is Citadel. Use your own original gameplay footage, writing, and narration.
See 'reward details' for more instructions and guidance.
Citadel is a high-stakes, browser-based space combat and extraction game with no installation required. To play, head to thecitadel.com to access the playtest, which will run throughout the weekends of July 10-12 and July 17-19.
For this reward, please create your own fan-made trailer for Citadel and make it as good as you can. To be eligible or to raise your chances of winning, please pay very close and careful attention to all the following guidance:
All entries must be YouTube videos OR TikTok videos.
All entries must be between 60 and 180 seconds in duration (that's between 1 and 3 minutes).
All entries must be in Landscape mode/format/orientation.
All entries must contain substantial original work. You may use very small pieces of third-party work - such as other official trailers or existing music - but it's your responsibility to ensure you have the rights to do so and to conform with fair use laws. We expect at least 75% of all entries to be your own original content. As always, plagiarism and/or use of generative AI is forbidden.
Given the above, your brief for this reward is simple: show Citadel in its best light. How you do that is up to you: whether you want to focus on a particular aspect of the game or try to capture the whole experience; whether you want to dial up the strategy in ship design and economics or focus on the tension in combat and extraction; whether you want to use captions to sell specific features or let the gameplay speak for itself; etc.
The point to emphasise is that we're looking for impact and quality. We hope to see some quality gameplay footage and video editing - not just tight cuts synced to well-chosen music, but visual effects and colour manipulations - as well as all sorts of other tricks we're not ready for. We can't wait to see what you come up with!
The hook is all important here, so make sure you start off strong, build up atmosphere, and then pay it off with the delivery.
This is a contest reward with a podium finish which will only close and be judged on the deadline. Just reserves the right to reject entries which, in our sole judgement, display low effort, give little value, or violate our content policies (click here for guidance).
The folks at Citadel are looking for authentic high-quality content, so opt for your real voice - not text to speech - and avoid clipping. Be sure to capture the best footage you can: stable, engaging, and well-exposed. Be sure to mention that it’s an early access game. Aim for a minimum of 1080p.

What is Citadel?
Megastructures, spaceships, loot, permadeath.
Citadel is a browser-native micro MMO in which players coordinate and compete for resources in a high-stakes environment. Every decision you make affects your chances of survival; enter breaches taking risks and come out with loot, or die and lose it all.
Expansive world. As you push deeper into the outskirts of Citadel you will encounter more formidable opponents in tactical and immersive combat. Fitting, forging, and levelling up your ship involves strategic decisions to become more powerful. Managing your inventory is essential to succeed.
Browser based. No downloads or installs; joining a session becomes as easy as clicking a link or sharing it with a friend. Citadel removes friction and allows you to jump straight into the gameplay.
