DISCORD HALLOWED NIGHTS MOD CHALLENGE



https://discord.gg/klei

Hey everyone, Halloween is approaching fast, and to celebrate the season we wanted to propose a mod challenge to the community. That's right, a Hallowed Nights Mod Challenge!

Alone or with a group of friends, work on a mod that follows the theme of Halloween or Hallowed Nights, then submit the mod on the submit-here channel in the Klei Entertainment Discord server. During the submission phase, users will be able to submit mods that add content to the game with themes commonly associated with Halloween, such as trick or treats, horror monsters and the like!

We will stop accepting submissions October 21st. After that, there will be a one week voting phase where the members of the community will be able to vote for their favorite mod. Be sure to read the guidelines below to see how you can participate! Both of these phases will happen exclusively here, on the Klei Entertainment Discord server.

The users that worked on mods that have been submitted and accepted will receive 2000 in-game spools, and the top 5 community favorite mods will receive the complete Hallowed bundle. To receive these rewards, you will need to link your Discord account to your Klei Account over at accounts.klei.com - this feature is not yet ready, and a tutorial on how to do this will be made available as soon as it's working.

- RULES TO QUALIFY -
Failure to follow the rules will disqualify the submission.

1. Your mod must follow our Modding Guidelines (https://support.klei.com/hc/en-us/articles/360029556052-Modding-Guidelines), Steam's User Generated Content (https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4045-USHJ-3810) and Steam Online Conduct guidelines (https://store.steampowered.com/online_conduct).
2. Your mod must be for Don't Starve Together and related to Halloween or the Hallowed Nights event in Don't Starve Together.
3. You may work on your mod alone or together with a group of people (maximum of 5 members).
◦ You may work on multiple mods, but will only receive one reward.
4. No tricks for treats! You must “try” to make an interesting mod. Try to put some thought into it!
◦ Mods that have already been published and mods that copy other mods that already exist in the Steam Workshop will not be accepted.
5. All mod content must be PG and follow our community guidelines (https://forums.kleientertainment.com/guidelines).
6. As with any community submission, event rules are subject to change.

We will be accepting submissions between October 1st and October 21st (Pacific Time). The voting phase will happen between October 22nd and October 29th.

Rewards will be granted upon verification of submitted mods at the end of the event. Have fun!
