Tinkertown News

Greetings Tinkerers!

We are happy to announce our second Tinkertown miniature building contest! A community contest which challenges your creativity to recreate the essence of a given theme on a size not bigger than 10 by 10 squares!

Sweet prizes are up for grabs! And the theme for this week’s challenge is something we all used in classic RPG games:

SHOPS AND MARKETS!

There is no good RPG without a shop that sells us new shiny armor, healthy potions or buys the loot that we gathered on our adventure.

And your task will be to build your own shop in Tinkertown! What has your shop to offer? Channel your inner merchant and show us what you got!

HOW TO SUBMIT:

• Build your miniature market but only on a size of 10 by 10 squares!
  
• Post a screenshot, GIF, video of your market in the #building_contest_submission channel in our Tinkertown Discord (only one submission per person and only one picture/GIF/video!) You can join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/N7wf2gq
  
• DEADLINE for submission is thursday, February 18th 6PM CET!

PRIZES AND WINNERS:

• After the deadline ends the mods and devs will form a jury and pick the winners from the pool of submissions
  
• First prize will get 3 Tinkertown keys, second prize will get 2 Tinkertown keys and third prize gets one key.
  
• The winner and runner ups will get featured with their submission on our Tinkertown Twitter account!
  
• The winners will be announced on Friday, February 19th at 5PM CET together with the next theme of the building contest in our Discord channel

We can't wait to see your shops! ːsteamhappyː

Good luck and happy tinkering!
