Greetings blacksmiths! Welcome to the development log of Smith’s Chronicles, August 2026 edition. There are plenty of updates and events to share with you.
Smelting System Update
Based on playtester feedback, many players think smelting is instant, but it is not; you need to wait a bit for it to finish. The smelting timer is now updated with a clearer visual cue, so players can see how much in-game time they need to wait during the smelting process.
Cooking Mechanic Update
Because you will get so many coals, we figured why not use them for cooking too? Not for ingredients, of course! For fueling your stove
Graphic Setting Update
We recognize that gamers have diverse PC and monitor specifications and preferences, so we aim to ensure the broadest possible compatibility. So, we added windowed and fullscreen settings, added resolution settings from 1024 x 768 to 1920 x 1080, VSync, and FPS caps.
Movement tutorial
We noticed from observing players during events that our basic controls aren't very intuitive for some, so now we've added a mini tutorial so players can enjoy the game more seamlessly.
Smith's Chronicles had the opportunity to showcase our game at Busan Indie Connect with the support of Indonesia's Ministry of Communications and Digital Affairs. We’re happy that so many South Korean gamers and non-gamers alike are finally trying our game demo. We can gather much feedback and make observations to make our game better. In this event, we met many old and new friends and had the opportunity to meet many potential publishers.
In case you missed it, we just released a new trailer for Smith’s Chronicles! In this trailer, we show new gameplay mechanics and updated visuals. Check it out!
That’s all for this month's update! Hopefully, by reading this, you’re looking forward to the future of Smith’s Chronicles.
