Greetings, Blacksmiths!

Welcome to the April 2026 edition of our development logs. We have plenty of game-changing updates to share with you!

NPC House Interiors

A home’s decoration often reflects the personality of the person living within it. We are currently designing unique interior layouts for the townspeople of Grandall, ensuring each home feels authentic to its inhabitants. Take a look at some of the early illustrations we are working on!

Ore "Mix and Match" Mechanic Update

In our previous logs, we introduced the "Mix and Match" material system for crafting. This month, we have implemented significant visual improvements to this mechanic. Mixing and matching materials now has a more tangible impact on your creations:

  • Dynamic Visuals: The material differences between parts are now more pronounced, and we are working on metal gradation.

  • Enchantment Effects: Material-based enchantments now feature improved visual feedback.

Environment Polish

We are constantly refining the world of Grandall. Since this is where you will be spending your time exploring and adventuring, we want every corner of the map to be as immersive as possible. We have added new environmental animations and further decorated various areas of the map to bring the world to life.

That concludes this month’s development log. Thank you for your continued support! If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to share your ideas in the comments below.
