Hi Warsmiths!

Dwerve is coming to Nintendo Switch[Dwerve.com] on October 12! While the Steam Deck is fantastic, many of you also own a Nintendo Switch which is another great platform for gaming on the go. We're happy to bring Dwerve to yet another prominent handheld console :)

Hi Warsmiths!

Hi Warsmiths and soon to be... Modsmiths!

We’ve added Modding to Dwerve so you can customize sprites, animations, and stats for the turrets, enemies, and your favorite blue-haired tinkerer, Dwerve. To celebrate, we’re calling all Modsmiths to forge their finest mods in a week-long Hackathon contest with $5,000 USD worth of prizes. Read the details below and make sure to submit your mod on or before July 6!


We’re giving away $5,000 worth of prizes to 20+ winners! Here’s the prize tiers:

• Top 3 Mod creators each win $1000 USD cash prize
  
• Next top 20 Mod creators get $100 USD Steam Gift Card

To participate in the Hackathon, create and upload your mod[github.com] to CurseForge and then upload a short video to YouTube, Twitter, or TikTok introducing your mod to the Dwerve community! Here are a couple of mod ideas to consider:

• Reskin the current sprites for a turret, enemy, or Dwerve to create a new look
  
• Craft a new gameplay experience with an overhaul to turret and enemy stats
  
• Forge a new turret with a complete reskin and restat of a current turret or trap

Make sure to tag @HalfHumanGames and #Dwerve for your video upload! The video can be short, even a minute or two. Use it to show off your cool creation to others and let them know where to download it. Add a link to your video on your mod’s CurseForge page and vice versa.

1. Create and upload a mod to CurseForge on or before July 6
   
2. Upload a video introducing your mod to YouTube, Twitter, or TikTok on or before July 6
   
3. Your mod’s CurseForge page must include a link to the video

While we encourage you to share and promote your mod, this is not a popularity contest. Peter and I will select our favorite mods based on the criteria below. Your mod does not need to meet every single criteria, we encourage you to focus on one or two:

• Creativity: Did you use the mod tools in a unique way to create a compelling experience?
  
• Game design: Did you improve upon or create a brand new gameplay experience?
  
• Comedy: Did you make a funny mod that makes players laugh and have fun despite balancing?
  
• Aesthetic: Did you create your own beautiful sprite/animations for a turret, enemy, or Dwerve?

Happy crafting, Modsmiths! We look forward to seeing what cool creations you come up with. May the best tinkerers win!
