Hey there, I've been having a great time playing this little game, really fun to chill out and make some weapons!
I have a few suggestions gameplay-wise, I'll list them here.
- More snapping of items to locations, especially the workbench. If you could have it so that parts snap to the workbench in the same way ingots snap to the anvil that would be great, save fiddling about bashing parts together until they decide to be a sword.
- A bit less physics/more weight to items, I've lost a couple of parts due to picking up something nearby and having them fly off into the distance (farewell copper ingot, safe travels...)
- Some directional signs for a few of the locations, like the shop and the mines. The blank signs at the front of the house would be ideal!
- A bit more direction as to how to make weapons, shields and tools. Perhaps some blueprints around the shop? It could just be as simple as more like the sword blueprints lying around currently, but showing what parts you need to make items, even in just a visual way. It's a little tricky to work out some of the parts needed, e.g. I would have had no idea how to finish a shield if I hadn't looked at the wiki and found out I need a metal boss to put on it.
- Some way of breaking down items once you have forged them, in order to get back raw materials if you accidentally make the wrong thing.
Looking forward to the updates for this game, it's really neat, keep up the good work!
