Making it Home Community Photo Challenge

We wanna see y’all create and capture the most inviting homesteads!

Howdy, exofarmers!

To celebrate the release of the Making it Home update – bringing y’all plenty of new decorations to cozy up your homesteads and a heap of new Photo Mode features to help y’all take the perfect shot – we’re excited to announce a Community Photo Challenge!

Theme: Making it Home

The theme for this challenge is all about creating and capturing the most inviting homestead you can. We wanna see how y’all transform your space into a true home on the Frontier. Use the new items, play around with the in-game camera settings, and let your creativity run as wild as a Swiftplume!

How to Participate

  • Create Your Homestead:

Decorate your homestead using the new items from the Making it Home update. Make it as cozy and inviting as possible – think lights, plants, wall decorations, and anything else that hollers “home” to you!

  • Capture the Moment:

Use the in-game Photo Mode to take stunning screenshots of your homestead. Experiment with angles, lighting, and framings to show off your creativity!

  • Share Your Masterpiece:

Post your best screenshot on social media or on our Discord server using the hashtag #LYFMakingItHome. Make sure to tag us @PlayLightyear on socials so we can see your mighty fine creations!

  • Join the Fun on Discord:

Share your screenshots in the dedicated Photo Challenge channel on our Discord server. Engage with and get inspired by your fellow exofarmers!

Deadline & Winners:

We can’t wait to see how y’all are making it home on the Frontier! We’ll be picking our favorite entries and sharing them in a dedicated post on our platforms, including a blog post on the Lightyear Frontier website and Steam page!

Make sure to submit your entries by July 17th for a chance to get featured.

Happy decoratin’ and snappin’, exofarmers!
