Hello again!

I've been working on the crafting system for Hell Rite, and I wanted to share a look at its current state.

I find crafting an interesting mechanic because, when done right, it can add a lot of depth to a game. But when poorly implemented, it can just as easily become pointless.

In Hell Rite, the main focus will still be exploring the world, fighting monsters, and hunting for better loot and equipment. Crafting is designed to complement that experience, allowing you to brew potions and create essential materials and items to support your journey.

Crafting will also play a role in quest progression, with certain quests requiring you to create specific items. Looking further ahead, it will become part of the settlement system, where you'll eventually be able to build your own house and store your collected loot.

For now, here's a look at the current crafting stations in the campsite, including the Alchemy Table, Smelting Furnace, and Blacksmithing Station.

There's still work to do, but it's exciting to see these systems coming together!
