November Development UpdateNov 26, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHi Blacksmith's, I hope you're all doing well! My updates might be fashionably late, but think of it as me building anticipation. I'm just making sure it's extra awesome for you. Thanks for your patience – it's like unwrapping a present that took a little longer to get here. Here's a run down on the new additions I've been working on. Weather system Navigate through various weather states and master the art of managing your heat and cold levels.

So, gear up for a weather-driven adventure and turn your shop into the hottest (or coolest) spot in town. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/b9bdc052cc7fe901e6df912f6e1c556241027f31.jpg Clean Shop It's not just about the weather – the cleanliness of your shop matters too!

I am here to bring some new tad bits of news about the development of the game. Before that, I wanted to clarify that this rework will be an update to the current game. This is a free update. The old one will still be available for those that prefer that version. Today, I don't have as much news compared to the last Development Update. I've been spending a lot of time trying to clean and optimize the multiplayer code, which leaves me with less time adding new stuff. However, I do have a few new additions to share. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/60bf2bd7eed786db347438e8b1616a6e1ce4e635.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/cf870832ede17d3fc8c497b1c085523b692de3fa.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/992634241f5911392dc033c364553e44a6c553a7.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/aa80f8629975fb98e54f8f5762a96c787fffbb6d.jpg During the development phase, I spent a significant amount of time brainstorming various ideas for implementing a complex armor smithing creation system. The concept was intriguing, offering an intricate and immersive experience for all of you. However, after careful consideration, I've decided to take a different approach. In the end, I realized that simplicity could often be the key to an enjoyable gaming experience. By opting for a more straightforward armor smithing system, I can ensure that it remains accessible and enjoyable for both new and seasoned players. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/fad4810778e1d36b2cded22c53cfde67334ccc11.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/f4696b163b43ce11a60b1ac4d96749f3fe4043cd.jpg Clothing and armor is an essential element that can breathe life and personality into characters, making the game world feel more vibrant and immersive. During the development process, I realized the potential of this simple yet impactful feature and decided to invest time and effort into it. Now, as you interact with the various customers and NPCs throughout the game, you'll notice a delightful array of clothing options. Each character will have their own unique style and attire, reflecting their background, culture, and role in the world. From intricately designed armor sets to elegant and colorful robes, the clothing details will help you connect with the characters and your customers on a deeper level. Not only will this addition enhance the visual appeal, but it will also allow for a more engaging narrative experience. The clothes characters wear can tell stories of their own, hinting at their professions, achievements, or even their personal struggles. You might find yourself discovering secrets and gaining insights into the lives of the people you encounter, all through the artistry of their attire. In turn, this can help you decide on how much to charge for your wares as each customer that enters your shop, will carry a limited number of coins in their pockets. That's all for the moment. On the next Development Update, I'll talk about exploration, combat and a r...Development UpdateMay 17, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey Blacksmith's, I hope this announcement finds you well in your blacksmithing adventurer's.

That is all for the moment. Despite my tireless efforts day and night, I am unable to provide a release date for this game at the moment. Nevertheless, thank you for being a part of the My Little Blacksmith Shop community. Your support and enthusiasm inspire's me to continually try to improve and deliver an extraordinary experience.Development UpdateMar 2, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey Blacksmith's, I wanted to reach out and provide an update on the status of My Little Blacksmith Shop. As you may know, the current version of the game has many many bugs and issues that made it challenging to play. It has been a challenge for me, to fix the bugs, optimize everything, all while trying to deliver new content. The issue is compounded when new code is written on top of old code and might I add, not well written. Trying to rewrite the old code at this point in time makes no sense. As a result, I've made the difficult decision to stop working on the old version of the game and began focusing my attention on creating a completely new version with multiplayer being the core focus. I understand that this news may be disappointing to some of you, especially those who have invested a lot of time and effort into the original game. I want you to know that I appreciate your support and feedback throughout this process. It has been incredibly valuable, and I will continue to keep your feedback in mind as I develop the new version. However, I am happy to report that I have made significant progress on the new version of My Little Blacksmith Shop. I have already done some internal testing, and things are looking promising. The game is running smoothly, and the multiplayer functionality is working better than expected. In addition to adding multiplayer functionality, the game is being rebuilt, from the ground up using Unreal Engine 5. Which means the game should work better, utilizing powerful new features like Nanite and Lumen. I have made significant changes to how the game is played by adding new features and mechanics to enhance the gameplay experience. Most of the current features will be added to the new game and I also been hard at work creating new character models and animations for the game and I believe that these changes will make the game more enjoyable and engaging than before. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/e7ded53d3859b3ecb79833974f2a0a7a52e8cb7d.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/cee33cf3f97d7a53fbce65e4b055fdfaa984673b.jpg Although there is still much work to be done before the game is ready for release, I am excited about the direction that it is taking. My hope is that these changes will create a more polished and enjoyable experience for all of you. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/5edd9cb45df8bb62a08acad038d4b39f2c4bd309.jpg This new version will not come at additional cost and will be slowly rolled into beta access while allowing you to still have access to the old version. I don't have an ETA unfortunately but progress has been moving pretty quickly. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/3214a2225d2f385b8f3d2160c61fdb120fde949f.jpg Thank you for your support and patience as I continue to work on the new version of My Little Blacksmith Shop. I will keep you updated on the progress of the game, and I hope that you are as excited as I am to play it.

As always, there will be many issues with this build since there was not enough testing done but please continue to submit your bug reports. As well as your suggestions. I did my best to get all of the major issues while still adding new content. Also, I did some major changes to the prices of ingots, so let me know what you think of the changes. Also, take note that your old saves might (most likely will) be obsolete. So you'll need to start a new game. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. This update only affects the "beta" branch.

Progress had been going slower then I had planned for the past couple of months but I still manage to get a lot of work done in the last month, thankfully. Most bugs have been fixed but there are a few that still need more work and might not be fixed in the coming update. Good news is, a lot of additions have been implemented and just need to be tested before being considered complete. I will be aiming to release an update to the beta branch late February to early March 2022. Here are a few noteworthy additions. Crossbows Crossbows can be used in a variety of situations. The most notable is hunting. The final version will have you creating crossbows for customers as well as yourself, along with the bolts. For now, they can only be purchased. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/e6430732c91fbf5ce13fee0b49e684fa7341d936.jpg Hunting Deer's have been tweaked to run away from you. This means that you can hunt them down for their precious leather. More animals will be implemented with different qualities of leather. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/a8c018d50e59fc94befab1cf70f7c80e09eceeae.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/3296aaf67d7a84c9d8dd8ff0b71e491927084a41.jpg (These animal models are not final ) Leather Armor You were previously able to wear leather armor without any benefits but now they provide defense against monsters and bandits. Leather armor can be created by bringing your leather scraps to the Leathersmith. In the future, the leather quality will contribute to the metal armor you create, allowing you to increase how much money you can make from your customers and increase the armor value for the adventurer to help tackle more difficult dungeons. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/0bd4247b759795d1ac0d8202b080a7bafcda2204.jpg Bandits Bandits have been tweaked to now respond to you defending yourself with a shield or by wearing good quality leather armor. Additionally, bandits will no longer instantly find you when you are close to them. A notification will show above their heads, warning you, that you are too close, giving you a chance to avoid capture. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/4e9095382aa30603bb7f59381533455f5611a23a.jpg That's all for the time being. Let me know what you all think of these additions. Cheers!Development BlogSep 14, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsHi Blacksmith's, I wanted to drop by and give an update on what's going on with the development of the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/7089bd58f71592f2a4401c49507b33b5d5da92b2.jpg Tool Inspection In the next update, you'll be able to inspect the tools you made or found. This will be pretty cool when modding support is implemented, allowing you to share your own 3d models with other blacksmiths so they can inspect and admire your creation. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/c67827efa7021b6d7f9a234f9f769a70dbac1b2e.jpg Nasty Golems Although combat is something I don't believe is necessary in a game about blacksmithing, I do want there to be some element of risk, danger and consequences. These little golems will be spread around the world. Some will be peaceful, while others will be protecting valuable resources. So, prep your pickaxes and get ready to defend yourself. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/8d84435945552d5133e48db46c1e700870f0d009.jpg New Smelters New smelters will be added in the next update. The current one is pretty broken and I have been meaning to fix it but it also was in desperate need of some rework. The small smelter, which is a more simplified version of what you all know and love, will replace the current one while the larger one, with more advanced features such as molds, will require a purchase (in-game, using coins). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/4dcc703416a8386c6bf57ae2dc5795a42347b118.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/96c820b2974b7d2e206f8b7d9bc9dc4574dc7b7b.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35026749/f7168052250a9cbc13f424f72deedf9a7923772b.jpg Fine Cuisine Any chefs here? In effort to help you be a better blacksmith, mix and match different fruits, vegetables and meats to create dishes that give you bonus' to your stats. You'll be able to find ingredients in the wilds or at the grocer in Northelm. Not eating won't hurt you but instead, you only loose the buff after the timer runs out. The better the dish, the better the bonus'. There is much more I am working on including bug fixes as always. The next update will take some time as I'm also working on a major overhaul, including the addition of a skill tree. I will make another post on the overhaul in my next dev blog. Let me know what you all thing of these additions, as I do love reading your comments.
