๐Ÿ’พ The Anvil Speaks in idle life 0.8o

[h2]๐ŸŽ‰ THANK YOU! ๐ŸŽ‰[/h2][p]We just hit:
โ€ƒโ€ƒ๐Ÿฅ‡ #17 in Early Access โ€“ "Popular & Upcoming"
โ€ƒโ€ƒ๐ŸŽฎ Top 50 in "Popular & Upcoming โ€“ Singleplayer"
Thatโ€™s wild. Weโ€™re a cursed little game about enchanted books and mining goblins โ€” and somehow you made it climb the charts.
From the bottom of the forge: thank you. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ–ค[/p][p]
[/p][h2]๐Ÿ’พ The Anvil Speaks.[/h2][p]The sparks have settled. The runes are glowing. And your gear is no longer safe from magic.
A new age begins โ€” one of steel, spellcraftโ€ฆ and chaos.[/p][p]
[/p][h2]๐ŸŽ‰ New Content [/h2][p]โœจ Enchantments Activated:
โ€ƒโ€ƒThe Anvil now does what it was forged to do โ€” enchantments!
โ€ƒโ€ƒYour gear can now gain powerful new effects.
โ€ƒโ€ƒSome will save your life. Others might end it faster. Use with caution. Or donโ€™t.[/p][p]๐Ÿ“˜ New Item โ€“ Enchanted Tome:
โ€ƒโ€ƒAn ancient book reforged with arcane power.
โ€ƒโ€ƒCapable of holding multiple enchantments and transferring them between gear.
โ€ƒโ€ƒItโ€™s not weightless โ€” but for future reference:
โ€ƒโ€ƒItems that weigh exactly 0.0 will no longer display their weight in the inventory.
โ€ƒโ€ƒAlso: 15 enchantments were added.
โ€ƒโ€ƒPerfectly balanced? Ha. Thatโ€™s your job now, Beta testers. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ[/p][p]๐Ÿง  XP System Added:
โ€ƒโ€ƒFight in the Arena to earn XP.
โ€ƒโ€ƒUse it to enhance your gear, unlock builds, and shame your friends with better stats.
โ€ƒโ€ƒMore uses for XP are planned โ€” maybe even cursed upgrades?[/p][p]๐Ÿงฑ 10 Brand New Items:
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Plastic Block (itโ€™s clunky, it's cursed, itโ€™s DIY)
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Oil Blob (refined and slippery)
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Copper Wire (for all your shocking needs)
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Resin Lump (sticky and ancient)
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Coal Dust (donโ€™t inhale)
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Selfmade Plastic (because industry waits for no one)
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Cable Coil (plastic meets copper in a love story)
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Battery Pack (small but unstable)
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Lightning Shard (an upgraded Upgrade Shard โ€“ seriously)
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Strom-Kern (silent, deadly, conducts very well)[/p][p]โš’๏ธ 12 New Crafting Recipes:
โ€ƒโ€ƒMore combos, more chaos. Some examples:
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Oil + Resin = Primitive Plastic
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Copper Wire + Plastic = Cable
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Cable + Battery = Power Module
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Upgrade Shard + Battery = Lightning Shard
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Lightning Shard + Copper + Plastic = โšก Something spicy
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- And yes, one recipe literally involves coal dust and rage[/p][p]๐Ÿ† New Achievement:
โ€ƒโ€ƒ๐Ÿ”‹ โ€œFully Wiredโ€ โ€“ You crafted the batteryโ€ฆ now feel the consequences.
โ€ƒโ€ƒ(And no, we won't tell you how to survive what happens next.)[/p][p]
[/p][h2]๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Updated Systems [/h2][p]๐Ÿ”จ Upgrade Button Relocated:
โ€ƒโ€ƒAll upgrades now happen at the Anvil.
โ€ƒโ€ƒItโ€™s loud. Itโ€™s smoky. Itโ€™s where upgrades belong.[/p][p]๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Item Reworks:
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Armor can no longer boost mining speed. Nice try.
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Several bugged items rebalanced or reworked.[/p][p]๐Ÿ† Achievements & Quests:
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- 1 Achievement and 1 Quest have been reworked for clarity and reward flow.
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Many more Achievements are on the way. Too many? We'll see.[/p][p]๐Ÿงช Performance Optimizations:
โ€ƒโ€ƒOur latest tests revealed:
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- CPU usage down by approximately 1โ€ฏ%
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- GPU usage down by up to 3โ€ฏ%
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- RAM usage is up by 10โ€ฏMB... well, you canโ€™t win them all.
โ€ƒโ€ƒConsider it emotional memory.[/p][p]๐Ÿ”ง Bugfixes & Cleanups:
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Crafting + Autosave no longer duplicate or eat items
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Items with weight 0.0 no longer display a ghostly โ€œ0 kgโ€
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Future-removed items will now auto-clean from saves
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Throwing items into lava no longer sometimes upgrades them (yes, that happened)
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Fixed bug where workers restarted from 0 instead of resuming progress
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- UI scaling and Steam Deck support improved
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Loading screen now faster (milliseconds count, ok?)[/p][p]
[/p][h2]๐Ÿ“… What's Next? [/h2][p]๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Coming Soon:
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- 6.7โ€“13.7: Daily content drops begin โ†’ new items, monsters, quests & more
โ€ƒโ€ƒ- Possibly a secret project. Possibly another bug. Stay tuned.[/p][p]
