Hello blacksmiths!
Now that you've been having a few weeks to try out the game, and sharing your feedback with us, we're finally starting to implement some (much-needed) UI/UX changes on top of squashing bugs.
We are aiming for a weekly update cycle for at least the next month, where we overhaul some of the biggest pain points. Your feedback is invaluable, so do keep sharing your feedback with us through the Steam Discussions, or our Discord server.
As a sneak peak, for next week we will be focusing mostly on making our game easier to understand, with a completely reworked tutorial system, as this seems to be where most beginning players struggle, as we don't explain the mechanics of the game clearly enough as of now.
Also, if you did buy the game, we'd love if you are able to take 3 minutes of your time to write us a review on Steam, it would greatly help us with the Steam algorithm.
Best of luck forging!
