Hi, Warsmiths!

We have some exciting news: Dwerve has been selected for PAX Rising, so we'll be at PAX East! Don't worry, other fantastic and long-awaited news is coming soonish too. Our party of humble devs can see the light at the end of the dungeon!

[h2]Dwerve Makes PAX Rising![/h2]

PAX Rising showcases indie games that PAX believes have the chance to rise about their modest beginnings, by growing as a company, establishing a fan base or pushing the industry. PAX East takes place at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center from Thursday, April 21 through Sunday, April 24. If you want to attend PAX EAST and hang out with us in person, you can purchase badges here.

[h2]Dev Update + Cool Art![/h2]

In case you missed our last Kickstarter updates, here's a summary of what we've been working on this year so far!

[h3]⭐ Turret & Trap Upgrades[/h3]

Awhile back we gave Sla's Shop, where you use scrap to upgrade your turrets and traps, a big UI makeover (these icons are placeholder):



We also designed all of the turret & trap upgrades! Each turret & trap has its own upgrade tree with a total of 100+ upgrades! Check out the actual upgrade icons (adding in soon) that Enchae just finished:



[h3]🔥 Hero Abilities & Artifacts[/h3]

We also implemented all of the artifacts, which give Dwerve abilities, some active and some passive! Check out the artifact icons:



Here you can see the Warhammer Smash in action:



[h3]👄 Localization[/h3]

Translators have localized a majority of the game to Spanish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese!



[h3]🌎 World Map[/h3]

All of the world maps are done for each biome! Now we're implementing the world map in-game. Here's the overworld map of the above-surface locations:



And here's a preview of the Fungi Caves biome which is inside the mountain:



[h3]🎨 Updating Art Assets[/h3]

We've spent a lot of time adding and improving art assets! We want the game to look amazing! Check out this Gnobling Shrine:



We've also been giving the character portraits a makeover:

Esben (Dwerve's Grandpa)



Karvemup the Butcher



Witch-Queen Vandra



Thanks for reading this update! We hope you enjoyed it and look forward to sharing more news soon!

Enjoy the rest of your week!
