okay, so I’m gonna do a cameo-like thing in the salt lake area, but it’s gonna be billboards instead of cameos. if you want you can be featured or have a game character featured.

_Poll ([view on site](https://forum.makecode.com/t/cube-slug-devlog/30108/2))_

just note that if you want your game character you’re gonna have to tell me who that is and send an image.

enjoy!

Looks good! One thing though. My characters tentacles are a bit shorter than that and the tentacle at the left doesn’t look as big as the other ones. Other than that, pretty cool!

I love it! Thanks so much for adding me as a billboard!! :DDD  
I would love if you could add a background to the billboard, a background from zombies of god! If you can’t or don’t want to, that’s perfectly fine! ^^ Thanks a ton :3

alright, so for some reason I don’t think just normal billboards are good enough, so some of 'em are gonna be screens. if you want to be animated or have a character animated, select one of these options. you will have to tell me how you want to have it animated, though. I’m gonna limit it to only about ten people, so choose an option while you can!
