Parables of the Set Apart: The Pursuit of Wisdom is an action RPG where you embark on the journey of the Set Apart One. A faithful warrior equipped with an arsenal of Weapons of Warfare and an array of Gifts. Guided by Wisdom, on a quest to battle the forces of darkness, topple the Adversary’s strongholds, and answer the call to be SET APART.
The game is currently in active development, aiming for a release window of December 2026 - March 2027 on Steam and Epic Games Digital storefronts.. We have already registered a Steam page for it and thought it would be a fun idea to host an art contest for the Steam Header Capsule during the game's development.
The winning submission will receive a grand prize of $200 USD, determined by a panel of judges composed of the game’s development team.
Submissions Deadline is December 14 2025
SUBMISSION RULES AND GUIDELINES
Contest example submission by Justin Fernandez aka "Our Art Dude" and the one of your judges.
RULE #1
Steam header Specifications
Steam has 3 Specifications when it come to a Games Header Capsule:
Design: This image should focus on the branding of your product. For best results, please use the same artwork that you use for any retail box or marketing and make sure the logo is clearly legible Logo must fill at least 1/3 of the image.
Usage: It will appear at the top of your page in the store, in the 'recommended for you' section, in 'grid view' in customers libraries in the Steam client, in browse views on Big Picture mode, and for daily deals if applicable.
Sizes: 920px x 430px
Therefore in order for a submission to be legible for the contest, it must fit these requirements. We would prefer that the art work be done at a much higher quality than 920 x430. But it should be able to be compressed down to 920 x 430 aspect ratio.
RULE #2
The Set Apart One & Wisdom
The story of Parables of the Set Apart: The Pursuit of Wisdom follows the Set Apart One and Wisdom on a quest to relinquish the Angel of Light’s hold on her domain. Therefore, the artwork must include both the Set Apart One and Wisdom.”
RULE #3
Keep it Relevant to the Game
While the game is in its early phase of development, its general themes, concepts, story and scope have been established. All reference images included in the gallary below can be used in the creation of a submission. While we are all for creative expression of our concepts. Submissions that stray too far away from the games established themes, concepts & characters will not be eliable.
RULE #4
This is a God Honoring Project
While the competition is open to all regardless of beliefs, this project at its core is based entirely on, Scriptiure, Biblical Values and Themes. The character of Wisdom after all is simply our interpretation of Proverbs 8-9 into the concepts established in the Kedoshim Mythos. So any submission deemed as denegrating to the Christian Faith & Biblical values will not be eliable.
RULE #5
NO GENERATIVE AI!!
While we are not opposed to the usage and Generative AI or AI Asssitant tools in creative workflows. We do have a strict prohibitation against the usage of Generative AI in the creation of all of our Concept Art, Comic Book artwork, Story & Dialouge scripts and Key Game Assets/3D models. All Artwork and Unreal Engine Renders featured in the references section were created under this prohibitation. Therefore the use of Generative AI in the creation of any submissions to this contest is strictly prohibited.
