Time Capsule

When players investigate abandoned lifepods, they sometimes find time capsules left by other players that have beaten the game. These capsules can have a special message and picture and this capsule is then added to the players Steam inventory where it can be displayed, traded or sold.

• Every abandoned time capsule will spawn either an empty time capsule, or a time capsule “gift” from another player.

• When a player beats the game, any capsules that they have made get submitted to the web-site.
• Each time capsule has an image and optional text (up to 512 characters long). The text for the time capsules is displayed in the item summary.
• Capsule are linked with the creator’s Steam ID so you can see easily who created the time capsule for you, visit their Steam profile.
• Time capsules are manually moderated and ranked by the community. Capsules have one week to either get enough positive votes and none or few negative votes (offensive, spoliers) to be put into circulation. Capsules are either put into circulation or deleted forever. Once they are put into circulation, they can no longer be removed or further voted on - they are permanently in circulation.
• The name of the trading card will be the Steam player’s name + “Time Capsule” + the number of the time capsule accepted by that player.
• Contents are saved in a database, images sent to Amazon S3.
