Keep the forge lit

Built by one person.
Kept alive by yours.

DwarvenCraft is developed by a single person, in the open, without a publisher behind it. Support pays for the hours that turn a working prototype into a tool people can rely on.

The forge is not accepting support yet. A Patreon link will appear here when the campaign opens.

What support actually pays for

Development time

The single largest cost. Every hour spent here is an hour not spent on paid work elsewhere.

Servers and storage

Hosting, the database and the storage that keeps published assets available to everyone.

Official asset packs

Growing the library that every city is built from — the part that takes the longest to get right.

Running the market

Reviewing submissions and keeping the community library worth browsing.

What supporters get

  • A supporter mark on your profileVisible wherever your name appears in the community.
  • Early access to official asset packsNew architecture reaches supporters before it reaches the public library.
  • A say in the roadmapSupporter feedback is read first and weighs on what gets built next.
  • Higher limits on saved mapsMore room for long-running campaigns and large worlds.

What stays free — permanently

The community market is free and will stay free. No supporter tier will ever gate a community asset, lock someone else's work behind a payment, or put published creations out of reach. Splitting the community would cost far more than it could ever earn.

Building is free too. The demo needs no account, and a free account already saves your maps and your assets.
