Pixel Invasion – A Once Human Build, From 2D to 3D
The pixels have escaped their world and they’re coming to Nalcott! From retro legends to modern favorites, it’s time to bring your favorite pixel-inspired worlds to life.
Design a build that captures the charm of pixel art in a fully realized 2D or 3D creation. Recreate iconic characters, invent your own pixel creatures, construct nostalgic game worlds, or imagine what happens when a pixel invasion takes over your base. Whether your inspiration comes from old-school classics or modern pixel adventures, every pixel counts.
Will your build become the centerpiece of the invasion, or will it tell the story of a world overtaken by pixels? Grab your building blocks and show us what happens when pixels take over!
