New! Improved! Creator Crew Requirements and Rewards!

Since we launched the Creator Crew back in Season 2, we’ve had a ton of applications from incredibly passionate players who want to share their love of Knockout City with their friends and communities, which they’ve worked hard to build. We’re pleased to announce that we’re finally ready to unveil the next phase of the Creator Crew, one that will allow us to welcome in and support more members, sharing the love of Knockout City. In fact, starting today, we’re going to be sending out a welcome email to about 40 new Creators who have been waiting patiently (or rioting, as it were) to join! So, without further ado, I give you: the new, the improved Creator Crew tiers!

‍

‍

What We’re Looking For

Our goal with the Knockout City Creator Crew is to highlight as many individual creators as possible, while giving the Knockout City community plenty of options when it comes to gameplay streams, videos, and other content.

We take great care to build a Creator Crew full of thoughtful members with welcoming communities. This doesn’t mean you need to be all sunshine and rainbows every moment, but it does mean that you need to follow our Code of Conduct at the bottom of this post, and you must enforce moderation against toxicity, bullying, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia,unsportsmanlike conduct, and other things in this area. TL;DR: Don’t be a jerk.

Sound good? Let’s proceed!

How do I become a Creator Crew member?

Step 1: Submit an application

Step 2: Watch for your acceptance letter via email. Our team is small, so you might not get an immediate response, but we’ll do our best to respond to you as quickly as possible. Your acceptance letter will include instructions on how to proceed, which tier you’ve been accepted to, the perks that come with it, and your first batch of rewards!

Step 3: Tell your community! Have a party!

What happens when I’m a Creator Crew member?

Every Season, we’ll review CC member stats; this includes how often you streamed Knockout City (or how many videos you made) and how many viewers you had on average. We’ll also evaluate any feedback or other insights from other KO City players about your community. We want to uplift those that are the most active and taking advantage of their Creator Crew status! What that means is you don’t need to have the biggest or the loudest community, go pro, or sell out. We love small to midsize streamers as much as we love the pros.

At the start of every Season, we’ll issue a new batch of Season rewards that will keep you looking sharp, and maybe even offer some unique rewards to your communities. We’ll also let you know if you’ve made it to the next tier and qualified for even more rewards!

Wait, what’s that about tiers?

FAQ:

Q: I previously submitted an application, and I was not approved. Should I reapply?

A: If you haven’t been approved yet, we recommend you reapply once a Season. Most applicants are denied for the following reasons:

1. They haven’t created any KO City content previously
2. They have toxic communities or promote behavior that is not in line with our values

Occasionally, we are unable to approve members because we are full. If that is the case, we will close applications, and ask all pending members to please have patience.

‍

Q: I host an 18+ stream, and I swear and get a little punchy sometimes, but it’s a good community with good people. Can I still apply?

A: We’re not going to monitor every naughty word you say (we let a foul word slip from time to time too!), but we do ask that you keep your content in line with our Code of Conduct. If you don’t think you can act within the code, you might want to reassess before you apply.

‍

Q: How old do I have to be to apply?

A: You must be 13 years of age or older.

‍

Q: I have another question that wasn’t answered here!

A: Inquire in our official Discord to ask your question!
