About Amberfrost
Amberfrost is the artist track's answer to the game jam calendar: a month-long, team-based art event where the whole community draws for one another.
Two Teams. One Roster Each. A Month To Fight.
Every member on the artist track can join Amberfrost. On joining, you're placed on Team Amber or Team Frost. Teams are kept balanced automatically, so you don't choose a side. From there, the only way to score points for your team is to draw a character belonging to someone on the other team. Each drawing is called an attack.
How It Works
Register Your Characters
Any time before or during the event, add original characters to your roster: name, a couple of reference images, and any content filters you want attackers to respect.
Get Assigned A Team
When registration opens, join Amberfrost and you're auto-balanced onto Team Amber or Team Frost, whichever side needs more artists. You don't pick your side.
Attack The Opposing Team
Browse the enemy roster, pick a character, and draw them. Every attack is a new piece of art made during the event, tagged with a complexity tier for points.
Chase Revenge
Got attacked? Draw the attacker's own character back for a bonus. Revenge chains are how rivalries (and friendships) form during Amberfrost.
See Who Wins
Team totals are tallied live on the public scoreboard all month. When the event ends, an admin finalizes results and hands out badges and certificates.
When Does It Run?
Amberfrost runs once a year. Registration and team assignment open 1 June, and attacks run the whole month of July. Characters, on the other hand, are permanent: register them any time, and they'll be ready for every future Amberfrost.
