The Extra Credits Challenges we tried to follow:

- Extra Historian -

We get a lot of questions about how Extra Credits & Extra History possibly fit together, but history can be a rich source of creative inspiration. Here's a challenge to include something found in one of our history series in your game. That could be a character, a place, or an event. It can be the focus of the game, or just a quick easter egg. Have fun with it!

- Extra Distance -

Social distancing is important & necessary, and can sometimes feel like playing a game on it's own (avoiding joggers on the sidewalk, trying to decide if a grocery aisle is too crowded, etc.) This challenge is to create a game where characters or players can't enter within a certain distance from each other.

- Extra Translation -

Games are no stranger to fantasy languages but sometimes they can get bonkers. From Simlish to Thu'um to Animalese, to whatever you're designing. This challenge is to make a language of your own for your game. It can be written, spoken, or both! Consider how & what it communicates to the player.

- Extra Retro -

An art challenge that is a throwback to the MS-DOS as well as a previous challenge! Just like last year,  limit your game's palette to one of the old, 4-color palettes used by the Color Graphics Adapter for MS-DOS games. List of 4-color options at: https://lospec.com/palette-list/tag/cga

( You can switch between the palettes for different scenes of your game like some MS-DOS games did. )
