A quick suggestion to add depth to the game.  Make the customers have different fantasy races like dwarf, elf, orc and human.  And give each race a preference for the 'STYLE' of the weapon.  Like dwarves like the big flat blades, elves like the scimitars, orcs like the cleaver looking one etc.  But don't tell the player who likes which one.  Then the blacksmith could get a bonus tip for figuring out which race likes a particular style.

Also, please make the customers less rude.  I work in customer service in real life and simply saying please goes a long way.

Change the movements for left and right to strafe left and right, instead of turn. mouse control already changes point of view, and having to look away from the tool bench to shuffle further along instead of being able to sidestep feels weird for a first person perspective game.

how and can we make shields loving the update just wish there was some type of information about how to do certain stuff even us youtubers are still have problems figuring this out

love the game btw

Be able to sell grips and guards at less than you bought them, that way if you accidentally buy something you can sell it back fro a bit less

Maybe being able to close a crate with a lid by pressing  c C=Close keep the good work up :-D

Being able to combine ores to create different ingots (such as copper ore + tin ore = bronze ingot, or iron ore + coal = steel ingot) would be very cool!

ehi Dasius! It will be grat work with you, i'm a 3D generalist and i'm studing at VFX wizard.This is my e-mail manuel.3Dworks@outlook.it if you're interested i'll send you some of my works :)

The suggestion about Alloy metal got me thinking.  Right now we can just buy every level of grip and guard.  But what if we could only buy the basic (common) level from the order board.  Then we had to combine the guard and a decorative metal ingot (copper, brass, silver, gold) to get the higher tier grips and guards.  I think that adds a lot of depth and options.  More mining , smelting, and building, which is really what the game does best.

I know this will be a lot of work, but if you took it on slowly I think it could be possible. It would be amazing if you added in a grindstone so you have to sharpen your weapons before selling them, on top of that it would be cool if a finer point or edge sold for more money than one sloppily made. Thanks for reading this.

I really like the mining in 0.8, but it is really anoying sometimes because of the weird physics.  One way that would improve mining would be to add more to the mine shaft, and have mincarts that you can push around to carry ore.  Also, when you go futhur in the mineshaft there could be a slight increase in chance to get rarer ores (e.g. titanium).

Can you consider adding bosses to the mines and gear that you can collect if you defeat them such as a very rare guard/material. (Sorry if this is already a thing I'm just getting into the new update).

how about new ingots?

Hey, Dasius!
I must say, even in this stage of Alpha, the game is still pretty fun to play. Even more for someone like me - someone who loves (Medieval) styled games etc.. ^^
Anyway, I've come up with some suggestions that I would LOVE to see in the game, sooner or later :P

1) More weapon types -  now, I'm sure that you are planning on adding more weapons (weapon heads) for us to be able to make. I think it would be nice adding Flails, Halberdiers and maybe even War Hammers and Maces.

2) Woodworking - from what I've seen in the shop, you might be planning on adding woodworking. That is a great idea! Being able to make your own grips and such would be a nice way to save money. Also, if adding the possibility of making grips, why not add the posiibility of making Short Bows, Longbows, Crossbows and Shields (which I'm sure are going to be in the game quite soon) ? I know that bowmaking might not be the job for a blacksmith, but eh :P

3) Armor making? - This could either be a complex matter or just a simple "combine a few ingots and magically spawn an armor piece" one. Armors could be made from different metals, for example and therefore have multiple phases of creation (same as shields).

4) Of course, fixing bugs - Bugs like the ore/coal multiplying have already been reported enough. Also, I haven't really searched the forum for this, but I'm not able to sell Pickaxes.

Let me know your opinion ^^

Hi....my suggestion is that the game automatically puts all graphic settings on low so that people can actually play because other wise the graphics crash their game before they can change the settings to low,where as this way people can get on the game then change settings higher.         Please consider this....or at least provide a way to change settings without going into the game.

Hey i think it would be a good idea to have a tutorial or to be able to remove handles because it gets annoying to waste the handles

A Tutorial straight from the up-go? When I booted up the game I had no idea what to do and still trying to figure it out.

Thanks!

So, I have a really bad computer. Every game that uses UE4 doesn't run more than 15 FPS on my computer. Could you add lower settings to the graphics option? You could tell me how to change them manually.

I played on 600p Min setting, 10 FPS.

Spec- Core i3- 2100 3.1 GHZ, RAM 8 GB, GPU: AMD Radeon 5450 (dreadful), Case- Microwave.

I understand that Good games trades with great FPS.

- Thankyou and have a good day! ^^

It would be nice to be able to talk to people walking by to tell them about your shop, maybe you see someone with full armor walking to a tavern and you tell him about your blacksmith shop with armor that is better then the stuff he's wearing. Other than that, progression feels a bit slow and gets boring fast, it would be nice to level up faster. I'm on day eleven with like 3 hours in the game and still on copper, very hard to feel a sense of progression, but you probably already knew  this. Good luck on development of the game, I hope to keep playing it. 

Would it be possible to make the 'alt' rotation relative to the angle of the camera, rather than the angle of the object you're rotating? This just hit me as something that might make that mechanic feel more consistent, even though it's only really needed to get objects unstuck.

I'd like a backpack, maybe not to start with, but one you can buy, as well as making the horse and cart progression based. Mining is great, I always love being able to save money in games like this, but it's really annoying and time consuming to drag ore up the mine shaft piece by piece, and it looks like some of it is despawning by the time I get back.

Hey Dasius,

Thanks for your time! Keep up the great work on My Little Blacksmith Shop, Dasius.

-lazyhippo

you should add in a way to make it multiplayer like 2v2 battles or 1v1v1v1 and what the battles do is that who makes more money in 5 mins or something

and also going to different like demensions

if you know what I mean

Hey Y´all

I have a problem that comes up every now and then when I press P when I lvl up... My character looks straight up and I can´t select anything. I don´t know what to do or search on to find the problem. 

Thank you all for your time.

I would like to see armour implemented,maybe you can put items on shelves and the people would just come in buy it and leave, unless they dont see what they want already made, maybe the ability to melt ingots and fuse them into compunds.But the biggest issue for me right now is performance, i beleive that the performance should be better if possible, the graphics look like they are easily runnable, but dont run well. Just some little suggestions, i love the game though, great work! :)

Can you make it possible to make multiple different saves, so I don't have to overwrite my old saves if I want to start a new game?

Should pay the $100 Steam Direct fee and get this gem on Steam asap!

Armor:

• 1 ingot - shoulder pad - gloves
• 2 ingots - helmet - boots
• 3 ingots - breastplate - leggings

The multiple items would be made from the same combination of ingots in the same way as the double axe head and the pickaxe head.

Offhand slot for a torch (maybe made by combining a piece of firewood and a piece of coal on the crafting table), which you would ignite by going up to some other torch and clicking on it (maybe hold down the scroll wheel and left click to ignite).

Some more ideas (Yes I'm full of ideas):

(Just so you know, I will talk about my ideas as if they are already in the game. Also, if you do plan on adding any of my ideas, feel free to change them however you want)

• Machines: There are a few different machines you can buy. There is a new store down the left path that sells machines, which allow you to make your blacksmith life easier. The machines are only obtainable at this shop, and cost a fortune (In the range of 10,000 coins to 50,000 coins). When you buy a machine, it will go into a box which will shrink to about the size of an ingot. It will then open another slot  in your inventory and be put there. When you want to place it, select the item with the number keys, and there will be green models of that machine in certain spots on your property. It will also show red models of other machines, all transparent, in their respective places. All of the green ones will also be almost transparent, while the one nearest to you will be solid green. The one that is solid green is the one that the machine will be placed at when you left click. You can change where  it is placed by moving to different green models. When you left click with the place you want it to be built in solid green, it will show an animation of the box appearing there, enlarging again, and unfolding itself so it is flat. The player will wonder why the machine is upside down, but then the machine flips over, unfolded box on top, and then the box flies up into the air in a ragdoll sort of way.  The different machines are the Storage, Auto Anvil, and Item Transporter. 
  
  • The Storage can only be placed on the back wall next to the crafting bench. It is, essentially, a storage, but it is special. It has an intake funnel, where you drop in items that you want to be stored in there (Only tool heads, grips, and guards). They will show up on a grid on a screen under the main storage system. To take out an item, click on the item you want to take out, press + or - to change how many, an press enter. The items will be dropped onto the crafting bench, allowing you to craft items quickly.
  • The Auto Anvil is an anvil, not replacing the normal one, that can be placed at (REDACTED). It forges items for you. It has a queue of up to 5 items in its memory. When you give it one or more tool heads to make using the selection menu, it will ask for the types and amounts of ingots necessary to create the tool heads. You just put them into the input funnel, and the Auto Anvil will heat them up itself. The Auto Anvil also NEVER GETS ONES on the quality minigame and adds a 5% bonus to all types of quality. When the tool head has been forged, it is dropped into a tub of oil and put onto a table. It takes twice as long to make the heads, but that is a small price to pay for auto forging and higher quality.
  • The Item Transporter, through the wonders of TECHNALUGY, makes it possible to WIRELESSLY TRANSPORT ITEMS! At the moment, the Item transporter can only be placed above the Auto Anvil's output table and above the Storage's item funnel. When bought, you get two Transport Hub Item Node Gauntlets (T.H.I.N.G.s). When placed above the Auto Anvil output table, the vacuum end will be placed, which sucks up tool heads, grips, and guards. When placed above the Storage's funnel, the Spitting end will be placed, which spits the items into the funnel.
• My name on the credits list.

You are SO LUCKY that Jacksepticeye played your game!

It would be nice to be able to smelt tool/weapon heads back into ingots! It would save people who haven't made a pick but used up the last of their ingots and money on building the wrong weapons. Also, we wouldn't need the incinerator if re-smelting were an option!

MacOs version please

Put the Portuguese language because I want to play the game a lot !!

I have some ideas to sum up : 

first, transporting ingots from the foundry to the "BBQ" make the process a bit slowy to me, would it be a good idea to add like a conveyor type stuff that would convey ingots from the foundry directly on the BBQ, it could also be built using some materials, it is up to you to decide :) do you think it would kinda ruin this part of the game spirit ?

secondly : would it be possible to add a menu which would inform the customer of the type of metal you treat by ticking or unticking options referring to each metal : for example if you don't want to work with copper, you untick the copper option so that customers will not ask for coppered stuff anymore, it would be useful when customers start asking another metal and not the one you were currently working with so you can sell your first metal wares, then you would not have to incenerate the wares or be overstocked of it
Currently, my customers just started asking for tined wares and I do not know if they are going to ask for coppered ones again, hence my question.

English is not my mother tongue, so I hope I made myself clear, do not hesitate to ask if I have not been accurate enough. Still, keep the good work ;) !

There should be a button next to the 'decline order' button when a customer buys things that makes the customer come later to pick up the weapon they requested. There should also be a scroll on the wall that tells you what weapons have been requested and how much longer until the person who wants them will pick them up. There should be a box outside the front door where you put items to be picked up. This would get rid of the oh-you-want-this-weapon-so-I-will-make-it-almost-done-yes-I-finally-finished-it-darn-it-they-left-already dilemma. Also, it would give you time to add any perks to the weapon.

Hey I absolutely love this game but the most game breaking bug is that when i load the game I cannot open the shop doors. Furthermore I would love to be able to make armour not just weapons/tools. Also the wagon is glitchy af.

VR?

In regards to mining i think because of the mandatory tool equivalency setup you have you should make it so that even if a resource isnt mined it resets after say i dont know 3 days instead of the normal respawn rate of one day, solves the issue of running out of minable veins but doesnt allow you to just wait it out everyday till you get the ore you want for the earlier players cause I believe I got 3 days of mining or 3 mining trips with 2-3 nodes before being locked out of the ability to mine ore by it all becoming tin and iron

Recent development i am currently at say twelve and for some reason every single customer i get has a less than 30 second time limit on thier order and it becomes next to impossible without perfect movements to get them the item before the walk away, currently have a two handed axe and 2 greatswords plus a one hand hammer that all consecutively failed and only one customer said they were in a rush usually getting them thier item with about 2 secondsish left but not getting it far enough across the counter before they leave, is this difficulty spike intended or is this a bug

I just did the recording and im sorry the timer is 39 seconds exact every customer ican send the save file and the video if you would like

Hello I am a huge fan of this game but I just can't play it because I dont have a computer but all I want to say is that this game has a lot of talent and I think the game should be on consoles because it looks like it could be on console but thats my opinion and keep up the great work!(but if its too much to put on console thats fine I will get a computer later on in my life)

The game could start like this:
the player starts working as a blacksmith in a someone else's shop and he earns a salary every day. 
With this money he buys a blacksmith for him, but he has nothing, as time goes by he earns more money to buy the anvil to furnish the horse etc.
and after several days in his own blacksmith he can hire workers. 
I know this sounds like a very ambitious plan but I'm sure your game is very promising and that you will get more and more away with it. 
Never give up on this game, please, I really love to keep up with it even if it's been 3 months without updates. 
I hope one day your game is on steam and I wish you luck.

a few things that would be awesome would be multi player (although I realize that's a huge change which would probably take a very long time to perform). Also there needs to be some kind of incentive to actually sell things other than to progress toward nothing maybe add in a tax or fee of a set amount each 7 days or so that way there is enough time to do what you want but also gives a little pressure to make enough money. and finally being able to upgrade/customize your shop would be great that way your not just trying to save up money to upgrade your tools but also to upgrade/customize your own shop

First of all, I would like to congratulate you and thank you for designing this extremely entertaining and addictive game. Then I would like to make two suggestions.
My first will be to have the ability to build ourselves our grips and our guards. The grips could be made from wood that we can cut ourselves. The rare wood could be used for grips of higher quality. The different kinds of ore would produce different qualities of guards.
My second idea would be to change the concept of sleep. It could be a selection of hours that we wish to sleep, Less sleep time would mean less time before being exhausted. Or to be able to sleep when we want and not only when we are exhausted. It seems to me that time management would really be simplified.

Hey man you made an excellent game.  I'd love to see more story, and maybe fix some of the buggy controls (my character slides on the floor like it's ice).  The game does get a bit repetitive, so anything you could add to keep it interesting would be a welcome addition.  At any rate, great job on this game.

I've been playing the game for some days, I really like it!

1 I'd like to see customers ordering a weapon, leave and come for it later or that you have to bring the weapons to them, like two queues, the fast queue (the one that alredy is there) and the second one that gives more money but demands more (fancy grips or better stats).

2 The shelfs between the long shelfs and the workbench could be bought instead of alredy owning them but whatever you put there it gets automatically sored, like if you put some one hand grips, they get arranged instead of being chaotically there, this way we could store more.

3 The thing with the box and the lid but in the horse's  carriage so anything you put on there doesn't go to the stratosphere with a simple rock. I mean, something that gets the box stuck and it doesn't move untill you want it to.

4 Some more variables on the axe, other variables look really cool.

5 A coop mode (but not now,  in the long run).

6 Dialogues (same as before, eventually).

7 A meter for the tiredness of the character. 

8 A way to pour the ore into the smelting thing

9 To be capable to put a forged thing in the smelting furnace to get back ingots.

10 Make that you can make bronze out of copper and tin.

I may add more suggestions in the future, but the game is great and has tons of potential, keep that up!

if posible i think VR support would be amazing for this game

Could you possibly bring this game to the Xbox One

Hello, i'm red / green colourblind and have been gaming since the Spectrum ZX81 era, I have a suggestion. Could you make the crosshair a different colour? It tends to dissapear on me when i'm on the order scroll by the forge. Also, would it be possible to make it so that the bars heated in the forge take longer to cool down? Say a couple of in game hours? I think it would help when trying to make items that require 3 bars.

Hi There!

My suggestion is to add a story to the game and in that story and upon completion of story quests player would receive higher ranks/role like for example the kings royal blacksmith so you would get a big blacksmith shop in the castle or just money and trust from the king. Also add a workers for example you need to pay like a 50 coins(money) per day per one worker and so you can tell worker what to do either to keep crafting and selling stuff so for example player would create like an axe head and than put it on the crafting table and than if certain criteria would be met the worker would came around and make an axe with the grip or either you could employ your worker to gather resources like chopping wood or mining ores but you would still need to craft tools for your workers and equip those tools to the workers also if you would want to fire certain worker or if he would die somehow than you would get everything that he had on himself(equip-ed) or if he collected some resources and he was carrying them to your shop you would get all that back in a delivery box after he died and a message should appeared by the priest saying " Good Morning Sir ! I am afraid that i have sad news for you today sir, One of your workers just died and it was his death wish that all of this belongings would be yours after he dies. I've just ordered the mailman to deliver you his stuff.  And if you will be anywhere around the church come around will ya ? Anyways, his funeral will be today at 5.00 AM in royal church so feel free to come by. Farewell My Friend " so and than you would get his stuff delivered.

Best Regards,

Hi,

Love the game so far. Could you add an option to specify monitor in graphics settings ? I am a developer and I have 4 monitors its a bit of a fight to get the game to stick to a certain monitor when I try to full screen the game.  I know its early work and you did an excellent job on graphics options It would be cool for multi monitor people if  you could implement that.

 Multiplayer i know that it's not the most easy thing to do, and i shud know because  i have helped made a game before but it would be amazing for this game atleast you shud think about it!!! 

(btw i love the idea of this game and i wish i could be patreon but i also need food in my belly i wish you guys lots of luck!!!)

 :D

my first suggestion is that it would be cool to engrave or just customize the parts you create to make special things. and I know its blacksmith shop but how cool would it be to have the same general concept but with a carpenter or stone mason or fletcher , the list goes on , maybe even to the point where you can have multiple people doing multiple jobs and expanding their shops and customizing , I know its a lot but its a great goal to go for

you should make the crystals really hard to find and then make it so each time you find one it makes your job easier. like, the fire stone could be infinite fuel for the smelter, or you could put it on the place where you heat up your ingots and it will make the ingots stay heated.

Although this comment has approximentlly a 1/1000 chance of being seen (due to the current number of comments and the probability of actually reading this far) I'll make a suggestion.

So my ideas realatively simple;

You know how Geo sells parts to you? Well why not turn it the other way as well.  SInce it takes time and resources to make parts, it may take time to get back to the shop. So, on a bad day where you can't get any customers, why not sell any scrap parts or weapons to Geo for a reduced or increased price depending on mods, materials, and the other stats yet to be put in. Personally I don't know the limits of Unity nor if this is actually possible but for players who made a pretty terrible mistake and decided to go mining right before "tax" day it'd probably be pretty useful to be able to break even so they don't "lose" the game later on.

And that's my idea. If you need a short synopsis of this paragraph:

Make it so you can sell to Geo for cash when broke.

Welp that's all I got for now have a wonderful day/night :D

P.S.: You might want to add initial/special crafting recipes for more/less money to, not just size or material.

I really like this game and it is really promising so far! I'm not exactly sure on what you have coming up the pipeline idea wise but here are some suggestions from me.

1) - Make the player have to purchase mines

           In the beginning of a game, all mines would be locked. This means that the player must purchase ingots and have them delivered, but when the player makes enough money they can purchase a mine. Have the mines scale with price. For example, the cheapest mine would be a copper mine that the player would be able to purchase first, then the next would be a tin and iron mine and so on and so forth. This would add another goal for the player to work towards.

          As a side note, later you can implement workers that the player can hire to work in these mines that would deposit any ore they mined outside the mine for the player to come by and pick up occasionally.

2) - Have the ability to hire and outfit guards / have theft events

           Now before I get into this, no I do not want any combat mechanics in this what-so-ever, I believe that would detract from the spirit of the game. I do however believe a theft/burglary event of some sort can add another fun element and obstacle that the player can overcome. Perhaps every night or when the player goes to sleep, there is a random chance that a burglary can happen. When it does happen, the player will awake to a message on their screen saying something along the lines of that there was a break in and lists the items/money that was stolen. The items that are stolen can be random somewhat, but giving weight to the type of item and the cost of it. So for example, if you have a lot of copper ingots but you also have a handful of iron ingots as well, the thief will go after a couple iron ingots before the copper. You can work out the mechanics exactly but I just wanted to put you in the same place I was thinking.

    Now to minimize the risk of future burglaries the player can hire guards from the castle. The guards would have different stats that the character can use to determine which guard would be better. Now, the more better the stats, the more expensive the guard is to hire. After a guard is chosen, the player must equip them with armor and weapons. The better quality the weapons and armor, the better the guard is....or something along those lines. You could also hire more guards to guard any mines you've purchased too, because those can be potential targets as well!

3) - Have better ingot organization

       This is more of a quality of life thing, but trying to organize and put away ingots just seems a bit too tedious and awkward when trying to put them on a shelf or something. Perhaps have the ingots snap to each other so that they will automatically orient themselves next to another like ingot, or have special shelves that the player can make that has a grid that the ingots can snap to, much like they do already with the anvil. It just takes a bit too much time in my opinion trying to orient ingots so that they all fit nicely on the shelf as it is now.

4) - Be able to build a cart for your horse / yourself

       With the ability to craft shields and what not, it got me thinking why can't you also build a cart for your horse? There could be different carts that you can build from a small cart that can hold a max of two boxes and can be pulled by the player much like a rickshaw. The medium cart can be like the cart that is in the game now, but can hold 4 boxes and requires a horse to pull. The largest cart should be able to carry 6 boxes and actually require a 2nd horse. These carts would obviously increase with price as you upgrade and would require various metal and wood parts to build.

Well I know it is kind of a lot to read, but these are just some of the ideas that I have thought of while playing your game. This game has a lot of potential and I know you probably have a lot of ideas on where to go, but I hope that you possibly consider one of my ideas. At any rate, this is a great game and I know that whatever direction it goes, it will surely be fun!

I just had the idea that maybe you can equip the weapons you smith and hunt a boar or something, tan it's leather and then you have a new realm of possibilities with hide amor and leather over shields etc. Also I think the crafting needs to be more complex like a sword should be copper, guard, grip and pommel. Also maybe a whetstone of some sort? So you can get orders to sharpen blades and once created if you sharpen something it's worth more and bone or ivory! Bone was sometimes used for short daggers or handles or pommels and ivory was used by the romans and saxons for grips and pommels. And just armour in general I reckon, like come on what decent blacksmith didn't make armour? Love watching the game but unfortunately can't play as I have a Mac.

Daisus i solved your puzzle, now what, i got a new crystal, i have 5 w this one

Can stone become usable?

Here are some of my suggestions which surpise me that haven't been said yet: 

1.  Armor, Armor and Armor. Such would be great because like shields it would be tedious with all sorts of tiny pieces. Great addition that was by the way. 

2. A way for crates to collect ore without the player having to grab each one. Perhaps controlled by opening and closing the crates.

3. A pitch/yaw axis keybinds in order to rotate items. I think it would fit well as Q and E when using WASD to move. Since E is currently used to equip that could become F. Or all of these could just be rebindable.

4. Perhaps making it so crates don't levitate in front of your face as you carry it? Or at least making the scoll out item distance longer.

1. i would Love it if you could hire adventures to bring back "special" stones that if you add the to a weapon they might give it a enchantment and make the weapon cost more

2. give the player a stronger beginning (like 20 bronze?) and make it so that delivery's take a day to come they will just be at your door when you wake up (this might give the other shop some use as well). And maybe make it so the mines give you a "little" bit more ore? and possible make it so you can make your own grips? so it would be entirely possible to not use the delivery system or at least rarely use it?

3. maybe make it so that it takes a week for the mines to reset but you could get a lot more ore though it would take a lot longer to mine it all, possibly making the entire day go by so you have to take a break from your shop on that day?

4.also i want a dog... 

just in the corner...

might bark occasionally...

PS (also if you add a calendar to your room?)

well the people who have "shity computers" (like me) cant run it at full... capacity ? so if you could maybe if you can make it less of a big run job or what ever it is so it can run better on peoples "shity computers".

First thing first, I love the game! I have played it for many days and I have enjoyed every moment. Yet, there were few things that I'd like to suggest for now. I'm sure there has been loads of suggestions already, but these are the ones that I'd like to change.

1. It would be nice if you could go to bed whenever you want so you don't have to wait the whole night. 

2. Also, as the night is so dark, it would be nice if you could craft or buy some lights on your property. The small lantern doesn't really do all that much in some places. It does well in your shop, but not so well at outdoors or even in the mines.

3. As you start making higher tier weapons, it becomes meaningless to make cheaper weapons anymore. You wait customers to buy the best tier weapons you can make but they just want lower tier stuff. While it's fun to make them for the first three hours, it can get boring pretty easily and this is critical to keep players interested. I don't really have any suggestions for this, but for now, I just stand behind the counter day after day waiting to make a profitable sale. Maybe you could decide what tier to sell or something. I noticed that if I left my Mithril weapons on the counter and the customer wanted Adelite weapon, they took the Mithril one if it was the same type of weapon they wanted. This was a small help but as you go higher it's still quite rare.

4. Make the horse so you could ride it without the cart and put small items into a saddle bags. Bigger items like logs would go to that cart. Saddle bags could work like small inventories so the items wouldn't fly around.

5. The player could also have a small inventory for a couple items so you don't have to throw stuff around 1 piece at a time.

6. You could make some customers to pre-order some stuff for the next day so you can make them ready when they come to get them. These orders could be more profitable than normal orders and include more items customers wants to buy. Another way to do this could be a bulletin board where the player can  go check if any customer wants to order something special.

That's all for now, I really hope this game will continue to develop and I'm definitely looking for the future updates!

VSync would be a very welcome addition, as I usually get 5 tears on-screen with maximum settings.

Deliveries!

Mails!

Bigger village!

Map!

- You can wake up, look at your mailbox, and see some random messages, random advertising from other shops and orders to deliver in the home of who ordered.

- I liked that small village in the front of the castle, make it bigger! =D

* I jumped the castle wall stepping on a shield while holding it, also possible with closed crates... less effective, but throw us even further if something is passing throught the lid.

* Put some invisible walls surrounding the map to avoid us to go on areas that we weren't supposed to go, going beyond the map borders makes the game freeze. (made it using the glitch above)

- And also an buyable area map! that we can place marks and write on it!

As you can see, i'm exploring everything the game has to offer, and i'm really enjoying it.

The possibility to design you own weapon piece would be awesome

but probably very hard to program and open to many bugs and weird stuff, which i could still explore =p

and Daisus mit may be a good idea that in the game we can use our own weapons and get more creation materials from enemys or something like that...

btw, although you would have to modify enough code for that :P

What if we, as a community, got involved in "pushing" the game to the Men at arms YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/AweMeChannel) and suggest that they make a weapons and maybe a shield from the game? This might get more ppl interested and help drive up the Patreon support?

Thoughts?

Please make a use for crystals such as, the Fire Crystal makes the smelter fuel last twice as long when attached to the smelter, or instead when picked up while holding the lantern makes the light from the lantern brighter and illuminate further, the Fear Crystal makes The Taxing People (Are they even in the game yet?) stay away for longer when you attach it to your door, the Protection Crystal makes Shields sell for more when attached to the (Whats it called?) WoodCutter Thingy, the Water Crystal makes you swim faster and allows you to go underwater while looking down and pressing W (it must be attached to a metal object that is like a cylinder with a little crystal slot on the top it attaches to your arm but it is just a texture it cant be equipped all you do is press W while in water and facing down and it allows you to swim down and when you look up and press W you get a small jump out of the water), the Earth Crystal (apparently that's a thing) when attached to the Smelter makes Coal last twice as long and the trees in your backyard grow bigger and give you 3 wood instead of 2, and add a Steel Crystal (does not float but will fall slowly and doesn't glow at night as it reflects Sunlight) that can be attached to your Anvil and gives each tool +1 of a random stat (because I have had 10 intelligence and hammered a hammer head smelted it reforged it reheated smashed it again and again and the stats don't change at all! WHY!?) but this is the hardest crystal to find, the attachments are like a little gold tube with a Crystal shape on the front of them that is attached to the top of smelter(Earth), back of anvil(Steel), front of front door(Fear) and the bottom of the woodcutter, and then there is the attaching of the Fire by holding the Lantern and picking it up and the Cylinder thing for Water hidden IN a different boat the Water is in one boat and the Cylinder is in a boat at the other end of the river.

is there a reason for the crystals yet? If so, how do we use them?

I've not played this in a while, so I'm not up to date with all of the new development logs.

i'd love more ore nodes

If it's important to keep people out of the quarentined castle for now than you should make the rock hills around steeper because I managed to get all the way too Geophery and Geophery by walking and jumping my way there. Plus in one spot farther up I managed to crouch jump over the wall to what I can only assume are the pallas doors. Sadly you have most doors unopenable. I also used the same techniques to get to Ironwill King. I found it awesome that he has a line of dialogue scripted even though he's probably not intended to be reached yet. Also please make the mine/cave deeper or at least add more ore deposits, or something..

I wish you would expand the mine and is there any pvE? also where is the horse in 0.0.9?

Would be a great game to setup vr options. Just a thought.

Loving this game! So, suggestions...

Wondering through the woods I thought it would be good if there was animals, like wolves which gives a reason to equip a weapon. So, perhaps combat. 

Seasons would be interesting. Different weathers.

Hiring people to work for you could be fun, for example travelling far for unique materials, instead of yourself. Or running shops in other places. Perhaps taking on apprentices? Also, if there was combat, hiring bodyguards.

Making armour, however I have a feeling this is already planned (armour is on the scarecrow) 

Reasons for travelling. I loved exploring, but other than finding crystals and unfinished content there was not much I got out of it.  Perhaps unique metals or blueprints for weapons. 

Other blacksmiths! Compete with them, share information and products. Rivals or friend. Perhaps they wish to sabotage your business! 

Unique commissions from special NPC's where you must gather special materials, and have a long time to do it. Going on adventures to create the ultimate weapon, for a price of course! 

Bulk purchases! A large amount of weapons over a long period of time, but I could see this becoming a grind to complete...

Deeper mining! Explore deeper, perhaps even dungeons with pre-made ancient weapons, but dangerous to get! 

Better optimisation overall. My PC CAN handle the game, but not very well. 

More customisation of weaponry, perhaps special decorations make of jewels? 

Factions! Raise loyalty with factions and in turn you get extra customers, like working for a king supplying his army.

Fame! As your weapons are used by heroes successfully increase your fame! A marker of your progress other than money. Perhaps makes you more willing to increase the quality of products otherwise you get bad reputation.

Sorry for the long list, and thank you for the game! I have been loving it, and you have got me interested in a genre I seem of have neglected. Good luck for the future! 

How close is the next update to being finished?

Armor, Pets, Mounts, Customizable Blacksmith House Interior, A Shop That Sells Ingots, Character Customization, Optional 3rd Person POV,  Lantern Fuel, A Shop That Sells House Decorations, Rare-Epic-Legendary Handles and More Versions of 2 Handed Guards. 

Just some ideas that popped into my head :D

An apprentice or assistant would be cool. Someone to do some of the work, like for example: mining for ore on every cycle, of course you'd have to make the pick and he could only mine the appropriate ore with that pick; assembling items by handing him the appropriate parts (if you gave him a guard, two hand grip, and one hand mallet, naturally he wouldn't be able to make anything. Give him a polearm grip and a small blade however, he'd make the polearm), and perhaps after he finishes assembling the part, automatically taking it to the customer. Traveling blacksmiths or merchants that teach you new weapons (Egyptian Kopesh, Japanese Tanto or Dikatana, German Halberd or Zwiehander, Chinese Dao, etc... ) and alloys, such as Damascus steel or just carbon steel, nickle iron (meteoric iron), amalgams for gilding weapons and shields, or various other steel alloys, like cobalt steel.

For historical accuracy: Historically speaking, swords were the most common weapon for self defense. Axes, maces, and hammers were used predominately in war. Maces were used to crush and weaken plate armor.  Hammers, such as the maul, were also used to crush the enemy, but were often paired with spikes for uses against thinner armors. Axes were found among the high class rabble outside of war more commonly than hammers and maces, but not quite as common as the sword, as they were less versatile and it is often frowned upon for a nobleman to carry any weapon other than a sword. They were designed to cleave through enemies limbs, not for self defense per sey. The polearm form of the battle axes, such as the sparth axe, were primarily used in war due to how hard they were to wield. However, many places in the medieval time banned peasants from carrying weaponry. In this case, axes were more common, because they had a domestic function, axes were often not included in this ban. Axes are also cheaper to make than swords, and ultimately lighter. Battle axes were not included in this, as they were made for battle.

In short, axes and swords should be the most common weapon requested to be made, in that order because axes had a higher demand due to the domestic use. Then one hand hammers (for their domestic use), followed by the polearms, and the remaining two hand weapons as well as the other blunts (the flanged mace and morningstar). Shields would be requested as commonly as the polearms and they other war weapons. 

These last two paragraphs are, of course, only important if you wanted it to be more historically accurate. I see no reason as to make it this game accurate, and I'm not requesting it. I'm simply informing you in case you wanted it to be.

please add a way to transport stuff

Ayy i love the game, but what if yyou added random invasions where mobs would attack. Then the player would have to make swords for the warriors, or maybe even make the player able to kill enemies with a sword? anyways, love the work you're doing.

It could be an idea but not sure. what if at some point in the game the king orders something from the black smith and depending on how u make it (rarity of items) the king pays extra but not too much. for example: if he wants a sword u cn make it with any ingot and any rarity grip and handguard.

Another idea not sure if its mentioned but maybe make an option for co-op game so you can have a friend to help in the shop and allow players to work together.

Why my game dosent save?

I would like to suggest being able to build a bridge in the "secret crystal area" after completing it once of course, and i've been wondering if there are any plans for the closed door near the forest alter towards the river? or is there another secret thing we gotta do to open that and its already in the game just no one has found it yet?

There seems to be a bug or something when making a custom weapon for a customer that if its not the correct one your shop just starts getting sprayed with common weapon guards and its really annoying having 300 of them laying on the floor and there is nothing we can do about it.

I find it annoying having to look at every heated ingot in my forge to find the ones i need, and storage of ores and ingots is a issue for me. Unpacking crates is tedious, so i tend to have a lot of loose entities around my shop, and this causes myself many issues. I really like the packages things come in when you order them, i think it would be cool to have a packaging station or just some movable baskets or something like you can move all the other things (furnace, forge, anvil, etc). The packaging station could require a piece of firewood or maybe a log or something, and turn whatever is on it's work surface into one of the magical delivery crates that are so easy to unpack right where you need them. More options for storage is something i would love to see on this fantastic game. Thanks for all of your hard work.

Hello I want to suggest that you make an option to make crates, shelves, boxes for storage but once they are made then they are moved like the workstations. The crates we can make now sometimes are ideal for storing grips, guards, ingots and shield parts but they move too easily so would be better if they are like the workstations. 

I would also like to suggesting making it easier to get the shields (like the tower shield especially) through the door to the customer.

It would be nice to be able to make multiples of the workstations so you could have a shield worktable, weapon worktable and different forges for the different ingots.

Also I am having 2 glitches with the newest NON-patreon version. 

1: When I try to name my shop the name appears on the bigger shop sign up the hill instead of on mine.

2: When trying to make tools quite often the parts will fall through the table.

It would be cool if there was a vacuum item that went into an inventory slot. It would be a bit of an easter egg like the crystals are. When you click with it, it would suck anything that has physics towards it. This would be great if you accidentally dropped boxes into the river while using them as a flying machine and accidentally falling off. This happened to me twice, and I had to jump into the river to see underneath the water to know where the boxes were, and then try to look around and hope that I finally highlight it with my mouse. Also, I was carrying the fire crystal around for some reason and decided it would be a good idea to fling it up into the air. I spent countless attempts to grab it with a flying machine, but I fell too quickly every time. Thankfully I didn't save it, so I still have it sitting on my display counter. Anyways, a vacuum would be a cool thing to add.

A Multiplayer. :3

monsters to fight with weapons you made!!!

Not sure if this falls under feature suggestion or bug report. I made the mistake of changing my resolution in game to one that is incompatible with my current display and so now I just have a massive blue screen when I load my save. I must have made the change permanent otherwise it would revert but I cant change it from in game for obvious reasons! It would be amazing if you could add the settings to the main menu/ home screen or something so I can revert this change without loading up my save!

Love the game! Very cool, would love to see it go further! Here's my suggestions.

1. A better system for handling multiple customers. Multiple customers right now is a buggy mess and it really dampens the game.

2. Dampen the physics system down. It's really frustrating how often things go flying. They're ingots, not bouncy balls.

3. Change up the progression system. Right now gameplay never changes beyond acquiring the ability to mine things. Right about the point where I started making items from tin I shrugged and turned off the game. Fun for an evening, but a different progression system could be fun for much longer. Consider limiting what you can craft and having expansions based around that. Possible incorporate a quest system with upgrades as rewards. Try to make different metals have different purposes beyond a monetary progression. 

4. A better system for transporting items around/mining revamp in general. Mining just isn't fun right now, and the transport system of crates doesn't help. A minecart that you push along a track that does a circle between your smelter a mine might work out well. Bonus points if you can easily send it back to the smelter when you're done. Mining nodes for materials you can't mine shouldn't appear. It's just frustrating. A node should have a number of guaranteed drops of its resource, getting screwed by randomness sucks.  5-10 seems good to me, even if 5-6 appears way more than 9-10. Even 3-5 guaranteed would feel better than the current system. 

5. Does Charisma do anything? I like the idea of having a personal progression system as a smith, but I'm not sure I like the current stats. Maybe Miner Mastery, Smith Mastery, and Merchant mastery, giving you more ores from mining, less strikes to craft, more money from sales respectively? Charisma seems a weird stat for a blacksmith. 

6. A dedicate button to combine items would be a godsend. Seriously, sometimes merging items together is a massive pain. On that topic a vice for the anvil/workbench that holds items still would be greatly appreciated. Large items are a mess to work with sometimes. 

7. A tidy up button would be nice, even if it did a fadein/fadeout and consumed an hour of time. Add in some pidgeonhole shelves and bam, you can actually run a buisness. Drives me crazy that the best way to manage your ingots is to order in bulk, drop the package on the forge and open it. 

Multiplayer online maybe?

play that game with friends seems to be cool so.. can you add it please?

I think it should have different types of woods, like some more noble ones than the others

muiltiplayer would be great

There is a letter in the mailbox asking for the amount owed. 
How do I pay my debts? 
For reference, I do not speak English well. @

an auto smelter would be a god send. basically it makes 1 bar at a time of whatever you set it to and will only begin if it has the required materials and fuel. (only available in single player) plz implement some way to progress metals without having to buy them. i was thinking having higher tier metals/materials be mine able with lower tier picks but at a significantly lower success rate, like 1/10 the success rate for each tier higher making the chances of getting better materials extremely low, but still possible. it would allow for the challenge run "No buying bars!"

Also, you could have the smelter and saw bench be purchase able and a mode where you don't start with them. another idea is a wood carving bench where you can place firewood to make handles for weapons and the quality of handle produced would depend on the quality of wood and your intelligence. my final idea is to make a hidden stat that depends on intelligence: prospecting! in short: every other level in intelligence increases the chances to get ore when mining. this could compound with the idea above, the ability to mine higher tier metals, but remember that a higher tier metal will have the severe reduction in ore chance and would require a LOT of intelligence to make the chance for higher ore reasonable.

ps. I LOVE YOUR GAME!!!
