SteamWorld Heist: Ambassador Challenge #9 (Who is Billy Gill?)

SteamWorld Heist comes out later this year on Nintendo 3DS (then later on Wii U), but if you’re interested, you can play the game before everyone else. To do so, you simply have to become a SteamWorld Ambassador. How to become one? Well, it’s quite simple: you just need to win one of Image & Form’s challenges!

SteamWorld Heist BillyAnd for the SteamWorld Ambassador Challenge #9, Image & Form has decided to focus on the one, true hero of SteamWorld Heist… Billy Gill! In a blog post, Julius Guldbog explains that all main characters in the game have their own personalities and back stories. In other words: the world, the characters and the story are much more fleshed out compared to SteamWorld Dig.

For this new Ambassador Challenge, fans have to guess the backstory for Billy Gill, that we’ve seen several times already in gameplay videos. You can either write something, make a video or draw something (if you prefer), and then post it in the comments on Image & Form’s blog. Just like last time, there will be only one winner, and the development team will pick up the entry they think is the most fun and creative.

If you’re looking for aspiration, here’s some “tips”:

  • Billy is deceptively easy-going.
  • He looks rather fishy.
  • He has a cute smile and big, friendly eyes.
  • To our knowledge, he only speaks with one word: “Blub”.

Here’s the rules:

Upload or link to your version of Billy’s backstory (and ask any questions) in the comments below. We need your idea by Sunday September 25th at 23:59 CEST (EU) / 5:59 PM EDT (NA). We’ll reveal the winner in next week’s blog update (Tuesday). By submitting your ideas you give us the rights to freely use them in our products, services and marketing materials. The winning entry will not become an official part of the official SteamWorld Heist lore.

 

You are completely free with your backstory, but let’s keep it safe for work and enjoyable for everyone. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

The winner will become a SteamWorld Ambassador, and will get:

– exclusive info before launch;
– download codes for the game (before launch).

SteamWorld Heist (3DS eShop) comes out this Fall in Europe and North America. The Wii U version will come at a later date.
