‘Design Many Robots’ closes April 4th, and so does your chance of designing a robot

This is the final week of Demiurge Studio’s ‘Design Many Robots’ contest. The winner of the contest will have their creation featured in the “first expansion pack” of their downloadable title, Shoot Many Robots, being released later this year. Contestants are asked to “sketch, paint, build, or otherwise render a robot” for submission to the studio, while also throwing in some background info on their mechanical beast. Winners also get a free trip to Boston to take a tour of Demiurge’s studio.

It is currently unclear what the nature of the “expansion pack” will be. It could take the form of a title update, which is most often used to bring major content packages to downloadable titles free of charge. However, some XBLA games have been taking the DLC-at-launch approach, in addition to DLC down the road.

If you somehow missed out on Shoot Many Robots, check out our hands-on preview from PAX East, and if you’re interested in having a go at designing your own robot, make your way here to sign up and check out what others have already submitted.
