Star Chart Dojo Showcase - Summer 2023 [WINNERS ANNOUCED]

AUGUST 7TH - 24TH.png

What Are Showcased Dojos?
Every month, a new set of Dojos appears on the Star Chart for all Tenno to visit! The Warframe team selects these Dojos based on designs shared in this quarterly event. Share your Dojo with us and it could be next to receive a place of honor on the Star Chart!
There are two submission categories: Star Chart Ascendant and Star Chart All Stars. Read on for more details!

Guest Judge, ElJuliex joins us to select this round of Star Chart Dojos.  ElJuliex is a Nintendo Switch Tenno who’s especially active in the Dojo community. His designs have been showcased on the Star Chart with his Clan, TRIBU!

Star Chart Ascendant Category
The original category, based on the Featured Dojo Contest of the past three years. In this category, Dojos that have never been showcased on the Star Chart are given priority.

There will be three winners selected per Clan tier per platform: 

  • PC: Ghost, Shadow, Storm, Mountain, Moon x 3
  • PS: Ghost, Shadow, Storm, Mountain, Moon x 3
  • XB: Ghost, Shadow, Storm, Mountain, Moon x 3
  • Switch:  Ghost, Shadow, Storm, Mountain, Moon x 3

Star Chart All Stars Category
Clan Tier does not apply to this category. All Dojos compete based on designs alone. By submitting a Dojo that has been on the Star Chart in the past, your submission is automatically included in both the Star Chart Ascendant category and the Star Chart All Stars category.

There will be one winner per platform:

  • PC: Any Clan Tier
  • PS: Any Clan Tier
  • XB: Any Clan Tier
  • Switch:  Any Clan Tier

Each Clan can only win in the Star Chart All Stars category one time, but there’s no limit to the number of times Clans can win in the Star Chart Ascendant category. Feel free to submit to future rounds!

How to Enter
Take us on a tour of your Dojo in this official contest thread! 

Rules for Submissions

  • One submission per Clan
  • Must list your Clan’s name, tier, and platform with your entry
  • Must list your your Clan role (Must be the Founding Warlord or have Architect permissions)
  • Must not exceed 10 images. Show us your Dojo’s best! We recommend uploading images to a host website like Imgur and sharing the link.
  • Video tours must not exceed 3 minutes. We recommend uploading video to a host website like YouTube and sharing the link.
  • Dojo theme and presentation must be appropriate for the community forums
  • Write your submission in whatever language is most comfortable to you! Make sure, however, it is posted in the official English contest thread. Submissions posted elsewhere won’t be seen.
  • Do not reserve spots in the official contest thread
  • Submissions that do not follow these rules will be disqualified
  • Please keep in mind that, if your Dojo is selected, all players will be able to access your Clan Dojo while it is on the Star Chart!

Star Chart Ascendants receive the bronze, silver, or gold contest trophy and massive stockpiles of resources! The number of Resources awarded to each 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place Dojo is determined by Clan size. Resources, platinum, and trophies will arrive in the clan’s Dojo Decoration Menu! 

Star Chart All Stars receive the platinum contest trophy and 3 months featured on the Star Chart.

Rules for Dojos Selected for the Star Chart

Given the number of players who will visit, we have a different standard for content in Dojos showcased on the Star Chart than we do for Dojos that aren't open to everyone. We may ask selected Clans to make small changes to their Dojos for the time they are featured based on the following:

  • Nothing vulgar or offensive can be included in Dojos while they are featured on the Star Chart
  • Star Chart Ascendants can only increase their Clan Tier while being featured on the Star Chart.
  • This rule does not apply to Star Chart All Stars, because Clan Tier does not affect their selection process.
  • Clans who disregard these rules while their Dojo is on the Star Chart will have their Dojos removed from the Star Chart. If deemed necessary, increased disciplinary action will also be taken
  • This round of Dojos will occupy the Star Chart from September 2023 to the end of November 2023.

Star Chart Ascendant Dojos will be showcased for one month each.
The Star Chart All Star of each platform will be showcased for all three months

How We Select Dojos

Phase 1: After submissions close, a group of Warframe Community Team members and the round’s Guest Judge will take one week to review all submissions. This process includes:

Organizing all submissions by contest category, Clan Tier, and platform. Star Chart Ascendant submissions only compete with Dojos that share their Clan Tier and platform. Repeat submissions are automatically included in the Star Chart All Stars category, where submissions only compete with Dojos that share their platform but Clan Tiers are not considered.
Confirming submissions obeyed the rules listed above.


Phase 2: Once preparations are complete, the selection process begins! We begin by narrowing down submissions to top submissions. The team looks for two traits above all in this process: creativity and quality.

Creativity: We love unique designs! Whether your decorating style focuses on small details or big structures, we appreciate the creativity you put into your work. Please keep in mind that original designs are prioritized. If you are making an exact replica of another room please add 'replica' or 'recreation' to the room title and credit the original designer. (*Dojo rooms reported to be direct copies of another Dojo are reviewed by DE)

Quality: Only filling a room with decorations will not secure your victory when there’s stiff competition! Be thoughtful about how you choose to place decorations. The best Dojos we’ve seen have conveyed stories and themes. Make the decorations your own!

Phase 3: Community Team members and the Guest Judge will closely review and compare top submissions a second time to select those that will be featured on the Star Chart. During this stage of the process, additional factors are considered:

The number of times the Dojo has been showcased on the Star Chart. Dojos that have never been showcased are given priority in the Star Chart Ascendant category. Dojos that have been selected as Star Chart All Stars in the past are not eligible to be selected for that category again.


In the Star Chart Ascendant category, if a higher Clan tier category (Mountain or Moon) has only received repeat submissions, we consider giving a larger tier Clan’s slot to a smaller Clan (Ghost, Shadow, or Storm). 


Large structures are impressive, but keep in mind that small details set winning submissions apart from top submissions. Focus on creating an immersive atmosphere with details we can’t ignore. Make your Dojo a testament to your unique Clan!
Seeking inspiration? Here’s advice from architects whose Dojos have been showcased on the Star Chart!

Winners will be announced in September during our community live stream at twitch.tv/warframe

This contest starts now until Thursday August 24th @ 1:00PM ET

All players from PC, XBOX, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch can participate!

EDIT: WINNERS ANNOUNCED 

Our guest judge, ElJuliex from the Nintendo Switch clan TRIBU, and I had a fantastic but challenging time reviewing all the submissions. We were thrilled to see numerous first-time entrants, making it a highly competitive round with 35 PC submissions vying for just 15 spots. The abundance of talent made our decision-making process a real challenge. Thank you to all the participants, and we look forward to seeing you in November's showcase round, Tenno!

Clan Name: - Black Paper -

Clan Tier: Ghost Clan

Clan Platform: PC

Clan Role: Founding Warlord

Notes:

  • This clan size tier is ghost, this is important to mention because we have a ghost and shadow tier trophy decoration, yet we were never shadow tier. No idea if it was a script error or assuming we were shadow tier at one point.
  • The dojo is easily explorable, it's not a hallway simulator with oversized (aka tables made for giants) obstacles, it isn't a grid of 10x10 large rooms with half of them empty, it's not a mess of elevators and warps all over the place. It's a simple square for the most part, functionality is key, decorations add imersion, not clutter, meaning you will also not find giant contraptions made from dozens of energy capacitors, conduits or orokin tech emitters.
  • It is meant to be a dojo 1st, not a maze, any player entering (new or old) can easily navigate (both by walking and by warping) without being lost, certain rooms may also include directions for points of interest like Railjack, rooms are also identified to better indicate what portion of the dojo you're in.
  • While the dojo is heavily decorated, the goal is mainly to showcase clan members (and other players) what they played and achieved, each room is a trip down memory lane due to events and certain updates, as such we showcase the clan itself, a reflection of what we did.
  • While unintended, rooms are less prone to visual glitches (like unusual shadows) regardless of update, what you see is what you get. (there aren't lots of decorations near light sources)
  • Unlike many featured dojos, you will not enter empty rooms that signify you are in the wrong area of the dojo.
  • Dojo contains a unique sized tenet panel, likely the only one in all dojos and has been adapted into a screen to add imersion to the room.
  • We did not purchase (via favors, plat, patreon benefits) any sort of decoration service, the rooms resources and looks are done via it's clan members.
  • Likewise members of the clan are not responsible for decorating other featured dojos.
  • Also, dojo not visited by Rebbeca&Megan in Primetime In previous contest due to assuming they had already visited it.
  • Changes to rooms have been made since last time, we also removed an ascention room and instead made the new duviri open area room as the place for it as it is a garden by default.

About: I'm also slow and skip a lot of dojo introduction seasons, :) I started building my own room (since 2017) just to trade in the dojo and have made many friends. I started redesigning the dojo to be a polite and comfortable place to receive guests, that's when I got kind members to help me contribute resources to build the dojo, based on creativity and integrity. of mine, I have turned it from a small trading room to such a large city with the criterion of always integrating members with the environment in it.

Today I will decide to join at any time to gain achievement for myself and my dear members.

First time submission. Have largely tried to keep the dojo part of the Warframe universe, as well keeping it functional and navigable with in-game signage. Tried focusing on smaller details instead (The way light hits the rock textures in the shrine room, the compact greebles of the mech, little display text for objects, unfortunate dead fish in the aquarium tank etc.) since larger builds aren't my forte.

This is my second time I'm submitting for the dojo showcase, when i submitted first time I was happy to see that a lot of people that went to my dojo enjoyed what they saw and was even shown during a livestream on Warframe and quite a few of the staff liked it so I'm going for it again.  I have done some improvements in several rooms and have even added a few more decorations in ones that were shown before.  I would like to also like to give kudos for the help with this submission as well for the help of an alliance member was nice enough to help with making a cool video to show off a little more detail in my dojo than screenshots so a shoutout to Mad Devios and a thanks to his support to help with this Summer Submission.

Annora is back after I had the delight of judging the Spring 2023 contest, and since we last submitted for the the Winter 2023 contest I've been busy building with lots of new stuff to share. All ten images in the gallery are new builds, as is the majority of the video submission.

Good luck to every dojo partaking in this contest, especially to fellow Architects in my new Xbox Dojo Alliance, cant wait to see what everyone comes up with for this contest!

  • Platform: Nintendo Switch
  • Tier: Shadow clan
  • Clan Role: Founding Warlord and solo Architect 
    • Notes on the Dojo: The Dojo is themed around abandoned or overgrown environments. There is everything from an old arcade to a derelict corpus freighter to a battle bot arena. I have decorated every room save for two, and I of course have plans to expand the dojo more. Each lab, reactor, and room is decorated to look like an abandoned environment. Also, I apologize for the quality of the images- I wasnt sure how best to do screenshots since this is my first time posting the dojo anywhere.

Clan Platform: PC

Clan Role: Warlord

Notes: This dojo has been my personal passion project and schizo outlet for many years, hosting a scavenger hunt where people would find specific decorations in the dojo. Also importantly, the dojo is not exactly user friendly, in fact it was made to be user hostile, both physically and psychologically.

Album: Imgur Album

  • Theme: The dojo is themed around travel destinations! What began as a joke build (Florida) turned into a tour of the United States, then to international locations and a vacation home. Along the way there are also 'tourist attraction' themed rooms, such as a museum (complete with gift shop), summer camp, a street market, a fishing spot and a couple places to get a drink (depending on your tastes). Even the hallways and elevators have been decorated to match their adjacent rooms.
  • Easter Eggs: There are syndicate sculptures and Ayatan treasures hidden in all but a few rooms (room names ending in * have at least one hidden item) for anyone with an interest in scavenger hunting.
  • The dojo was decorated entirely by one person-- me!  Other than the reactor rooms and their hallways, every single room in the dojo is decorated.  I love small details that can tell small parts of a story, and I've incorporated them as much as possible into my builds.
  • First time submission! I chose to submit the rooms that I and several of the members selected as our favorites. By themselves they may not seem to match the 'travel' theme, but as part of the whole they're much more cohesive.

I love your use of the Zariman panels for walls and floors! How were you able to get the Paragrimm into your dojo? I tried to donate mine but the game wouldn't let me.

I, the Founding Warlord of the Xbox Storm Clan, Haus of Silence, humbly present our first ever submission to be featured.

..... we're very excited

Here we have the remains of what we call "Operation Grow." The Haus is always growing and so finding sufficient, renewable resources and energy matters to us. Our attempts in this case may have grown out of hand. 

Gpi0jYG.jpg

The first room our decorator, Bumpkin Head ever made. "The Machines." A few touch ups made here and there but overall a master from the start.

KwURQuX.jpg

This place has been quiet so long it's now an animal "Sanctuary." But that barrier still holds back something. And the Nameless Sleeper still holds vigil.

UvYOTfs.jpg

-We all float down here- "Time to Float" sends you tumbling down into the lair of Stephen King's 'IT'. Careful on that first step. 

OSphwGk.jpg

"Belly of The Beast." This entire stomach/ room has a pulse. 

Fw3XmbJ.jpg

The pantheon of Gods is my small homage to a podcast that made me feel truly seen. "The Silt Verses" here shows a man being drained of his life by a God of the radiowaves, coffee, and electricity. 

yLNiY0n.jpg

What should be a hall of Victories has become a trap! Do not linger too long in the "Hall of The Egregore" or this might be you next. Yeesh

OuSTg1w.jpg

"Mystic Falls" started as an attempt to replicate the beauty of a tik tok video. But it has rapidly evolved into our attempt to create a fully realized worldlet.

xsac8Wb.jpg

The first room of our "Clan Hall." An area decorated with any and EVERY personal decoration the clan could get its hands on. 

kQ5FixL.jpg

And, finally, we have "The Rift." Actually 3 rooms/scenes in one, this one room has sections for the Cherry Blossom Village, SCP Extra-dimensional site 02, Grub Harvesting and more!

5epFo0k.jpg

And to finish our submission, if you could please direct your attention to....

 Thank you and good luck everyone!! Everything looks amazing already. :D
