Hey all,

So as you probably noticed we put some new content in this week which was created by our community - the Hotdog Hero and the Fast Frank.

This was an experiment, and one which we want to continue.

Here's how it works:

First of all, you have to build something. Next up it requires two things: hype and patience. Your job is to get people excited about what you've built. Make it a mod, show off screenshots, or just hit the right note with the community. Once the hype is real that is the point at which we'll get in touch. This is where patience comes in to play - adding these types of content takes time, and there's probably a lot of people who want to get this in game. We will do what we can to put stuff in the game as fast as we can, but we want to do it right and make sure it's polished.

A few additional notes:
* After it is submitted we can and will make changes, probably without consulting you. We will keep the spirit of your submission but alter it potentially in other ways.
* The bounty for a submission is 10,000 credits and 300 codes to unlock the submission. We won't give these codes to anyone else and once they're gone they're gone. You can do anything you want with them except sell them.
* Like all submitted content we can do with it what we decide. If it's a costume it will probably go on the store like other costumes (or somewhere else that makes sense) and likewise depending on what other submissions there are they will go somewhere else in the game.

Have fun! And I look forward to seeing what you all create.

PS: Please make your mod thread in the newly made Mod Discussion subforum!

Create a thread. Shout it from the rooftop. Put it on twitter. Put it on your mom's refrigerator! Whatever it takes to get the hype train out of the station (don't annoy people though, that's some anti-hype).

These submissions are more unique in that there isn't a formal approval process. It's what the community demands and gets our attention on that we push. We're also going to give weight to some of our long time contributors in terms of future content.

I'm also going to reiterate patience. Each submission will take time and it's likely that many concepts or creations will not make it in game or will take a long time.
