Blacksmith Legends News

Hello dear fans and players,

just want to inform you that I'm in the middle of the 'Villagers' feature, but I'll take one more day before the first part of this gets released as I want to polish it out more and fix some new bugs that occured.
This day was very productive but also exhausting ofc.

And additional part of 'Villagers' feature included in the patch will be:

2. Barter

As it's pretty self explanatory, I don't have to probably add any more comments. This part took me longer than I expected, simply because of the quantity of options that you can actually barter in this game. It is still a young feature and will take weeks/months to get fully enhanced.

You can trade materials for gold and also for other materials. Value of the trade will vary on type of resource and quantity.

I want the player to see what is being offered before he clicks on it and gets options to 'Accept' / 'Decline' as it's more convenient.

This patch will also bring you 60° rotation possibility for camera. @Fluffy - thanks to you buddy!

In Wanborne, it's around 80° as that location allows it more. Why limited? Because the front and right side walls culling is working in optimized way and if you'd be able to rotate it 360°, it would start to be more demanding as culling of the walls would have to be calculated per frame, per rotation.

So, tomorrow will polish 1. Ursury and 2. Barter and together with some newly reported bugs and can release it for you guys!

Thanks for all the support!

Hello crafters,

bringing you first part of the upcoming feature that I choose to call *Villagers*, as it brings like nearby villagers to your workshop with various requests!

First request then will be:

Borrowing gold (Ursury)
Well, in medieval times, everyone who had some wealth was an object of interest for the poor and blacksmiths actually were holding a function of a 'bank' to various locals!

Ursury was performed on a normal basis and was pretty common.

So, the borrowed and returned amount will be calculated randomly, because every deal doesn't have to be the best one, nor the worst!


And so with borrowing gold, 2 things can happen!

Client returns you the money! Everyone would want that to happen, right?


Now, what happens when he doesn't? You can let it go to gain good rep or extort to get evil rep. This way I want to make it more flexible to people who decided to do some rep quests, but may want to get other rep items later in the future!


What comes now are few more models and situations this can happen, then will move on to Time orders and material requests!

Let me know what do you think!

Regards,

VM Machal

Dear crafters,

as promised, we've re-activated Prologue again so that people who are not sure about what this game is can check it out and play the first hour for free.
After reaching the achievement 'Prologue finished' the content or game won't advance. You will still be able to play it though!

You can download it from BSL main store page or click here.

I'm now going to work on some things that will pimp the early stages of the game, since that seemse to be issue for most people.

Regards,
