Great game but..
You can easily make other weapons, game auto sets an edge when hammering so blunt weapons are a pain, or swords and spears, they are just a little to similar.
The way I think they could fix it is a hand sharpener, you get it at the start of the game right next to the grindstone, it could set and edge or remove it. I personally would love to have this, would make Smithing funnier.
Great concept...needs improvement
This game is pretty cool, but there is a ton of improvements and tweeks that should be made to make it better.
The tools should stay at their tables after they have been initially retrieved. They always spawn at their original locations you get them with the tongs.
The metal needs a finer mesh, smaller polygons or something done to the metal to improve the accuracy of forging even rough shapes and for the grinding wheel because it keeps making jagged edges and tearing holes in the blade when you try to sharpen the edge even when its not red hot.
The big hammer is crazy strong and even when hammering lightly, it can smash large chunks off the metal. A smaller hammer head for finer detail work would be a nice.
Bugs
This game was super fun at the start but as soon as I got the copper started the merchant stopped bringing quests I waited for almost two hours for him to bring one and still nothing. Big bummer I was looking forward to smithing.
Fun! but my main issue.
I love this, it’s fun learning how the game works and getting better at smithing! The only issue I have is after a few missions the merchant just stops giving requests and I’m left standing there to do whatever. I’ve reset and reinstalled to no avail. Please fix it! this game has so much potential and I’m thoroughly enjoying it. There’s another bug where my left controller starts to vibrate and then just doesn’t stop. I can’t replicate it so I don’t know what much to say on thst.
Great concept, execution could be better
Some weapon moulds may go a long way. As I'm hammering it into a spearhead and it acts like a blunt object.
I've wanted a game exactly like this for so long. Some sort of fantasy shop where you create magical weapons. This comes so close.
Bug...???
Liking the game but have had to start over 3 times now as my 1kg stone some times floats in the air and it can't be used... could this pls be fixed ... plus I'm rubbish at making wood the same size and making metal spear heads 😆
