Behind the curtain: cutting mechanic trivia

[h3]Greetings, adepts of the forgery art![/h3][hr][/hr]
Did you know that in 1794, a certain cunning forger cut off a piece of an authentic Elizabethan or Jacobean parchment deed and then signed it with William Shakespeare’s signature, making it a valuable piece for collectors? This is just one incident in the case of a 'Shakespeare cache’—a treasure trove filled with the lost works and documents of the greatest dramatist himself. It was allegedly found by a British writer (and lpater a famous forger of Shakespeare's works), William Henry Ireland. Were they authentic? Of course not. That's why we are telling you about them!

And why do we talk about cutting stuff again? Because we improved the cutting mechanic!




[h3]Cutting at any angle![/h3][hr][/hr]
Cutting only at right angles seems to be an unnecessary restriction on the player's creativity. We improved the system to support cutting at any angle, and what's more, it even allows you to cut through pieces glued on top of each other! But please, mind your fingers.





[h3]Technique used? Mixed![/h3][hr][/hr]
What is a forger who only cuts out or signs? In our game, to prevent the forgery from backfiring, players must skillfully select the tools needed to achieve the desired effect. Mix and match until you've fooled them all!

Mechanics showcase: cutting stuff

[h3]Hello fellow forgers![/h3]
Since releasing the trailer, we've been working hard on new mechanics for Forgery Craft, which can be useful when you need to swap some photos around or fiddle with documents. It's now time to present the results: welcome the cutting mechanic!



[h3]With surgical precision[/h3][hr][/hr]
Use a blade to precisely cut off any unwanted part from a document. Maybe you need a quick identity change? Cut yourself out from a family portrait and put in a "borrowed" ID. Or simply gather a collection of letters from newspapers. You know well that they may come in handy if someone gets under your skin.





[h3]We're on Discord![/h3][hr][/hr]
