Blacksmith Legends dev stream!

In this video I will showcase you a full playthrough in my recently released demo Blacksmith Legends. Feel free to join and leave me your constructive feedback, please!

Demo patch update 0.2.0

Based on great feedback, I've been able to understand player's perspective better and found out that many players can struggle with the tutorial and game difficulty, so I've done some changes that should address these issues.

Tutorial:

- reworked tutorial at the start during first crafting, first mining, first selling and apprentice training, so player shouldn't get stuck anymore with 'where and what' to click.
- added reminder during mining, that what to look after
- workshop upgrades are prohibited until mining tutorial, otherwise he could get stuck with no money to continue the game

Bug Fixes:

- fixed few situations where player could unclick necessary tutorial or 'un-pause' a state of game that should have remain 'paused' and then accidentally caused issues
- fixed some typos in quests and other texts
- fixed a situation where player could get past demo content
- fixed a bug, where player was able to hire smelter before the expansion

Game Balance:

- Horeshoe item has been nerfed by a significant amount that caused player to have too much money


Since I've created new texts in English, they are not yet translated to Russian. So they will remain in English until the next update as it takes time.

Until then, please, keep me posted about anything you find at my discord

Free Demo available now!

Hello dearest fans and players,

today I'm really excited to announce you that my demo is now playable under the main title. After couple of weeks of testing and bug fixing/improving the game, I think this version is stable and working well.

However you can encounter some bugs, please feel free to report them, ideally on my discord channel with some description on, how it happened:
https://discord.gg/Cy9Rmd2

Now I'm beginning to finish the Prologue (first episode) of the game that will be available soon and will contain quite longer gameplay. There are still things to fix, improve and so on, so I will announce it as soon as I can.

LANGUAGES:
At the moment, there is English and Russian language. Chinese translation will be hopefully added to the Prologue version already, but not yet for the demo due to it's difficult process and quite a big load of texts.
Russian language has been done by one fellow guy mentioned in credits, so feel free to check it out. If there are some mistranslations, please be patient, it will be polished. Be sure to report it though, as that helps out greatly!

Enjoy and don't forget to leave feedback, as your support is what fuels this project and my one-man army :)



Playable demo launching soon!

Hello fans and players,

after 10 months of hard work, I've decided to launch a short demo of my game for free at the end of February.
Blacksmith Legends: Prologue

This version will be the first contact with players, so it will offer very important feedback for my future plans. Wanted to release it as Early Access first, but that wouldn't be the best idea, since the gameplay is very short and not all features are done yet.

Achievements may not be added there, because it's just a demo showcase. Still have a lot of work to do in the upcoming weeks, so I'd rather focus it on the most important stuff, which is the core gameplay and user experience.

With this free release, I'm changing the main game release date to year later for now, so I'll probably won't go the path of Early Access. I'll have to decide after the demo release for sure. Will definitely keep you posted.

Hope everything goes well, wish you all great weekend! :)

Prologue update

Hello dear fans and players!

With the start of the year I began to work on character customization when you begin new game. At the moment I've done 2 male characters while soon, there will be 2 female coming up!



I had to rework the smith from the previous times as it wasn't really fit for the new game screen. See for yourself.


With that being said, you can also customize the flag that will accompany you whole game!

And the second part of the update is new random weather system implemented in the game. At the moment, there is classic sunset + sundawn, rain and fog. Will definitely be looking for winter time, though the game needs to be longer, as at the moment, the gameplay is really short for such update.
Here is a video for the sunset!

Stay tuned! :)
