@@NgọcNguyễn-w3j5x Not soon, sorry. :) This is a large scope game that's going to take me a long time, and I actually plan to release a couple small games before this one to get experience with releasing games. So it's going to be a few years at least. And no plans / interest in doing any tutorials either. :)

I don't know that I'll do a tutorial on this, as I'm not really interested in making tutorials, but there's an article in the description that helped me finalize my own system. It's not the exact same as what I use, but should help you out too. :)

@@GameEndeavor thank you! And good luck with your game!

@thethree13o Glad you liked it! This new one will be a lot more fleshed out, I'm excited for it. :D

@@Keynetics Tinker's Construct didn't invent blacksmithing and is actually a poor representation of how blacksmithing actually works. Just because two things are based on blacksmithing doesn't mean one is based on the other cough cough that's like saying every fishing game is eerily similar to a certain fishing game cough cough (Dredge) cough and would be a really stupid thing for someone to say cough

@@GameEndeavor who shit in ur cereal?

@@GameEndeavor haha who shit in ur cereal

It is inspired by Tinkers’ Construct-you even confirmed this in a reply to another comment. This is evident in its modular crafting of blades, hilts, and pommels, alongside similar mechanics like crafting tables, furnaces, and casting. Its modular system is very unique. Other games approach smithing differently, such as Skyrim’s skill-tree upgrades, Dark Souls’ NPCs blacksmiths, and Valheim’s survival crafting, none of which use modular systems. While Tinkers’ Construct didn’t invent blacksmithing, its distinct modular style clearly influenced this game. Don’t try to lie. And if it is different. Then ACTUALLY show us your system, so we can see how different it is.

@@Keynetics LMFAO, it is not unique. Not by a longshot. Mount & Blade II, Kynseed, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Jacksmith, Mortal Online 2, Fallout 4 technically, Assassin's Creed Revelations kinda. There's actually a name for it, it's called a made-to-order crafting system. Just because some games do boring ass static crafting doesn't mean everyone else has to as well. To seriously imply that TC owns the rights to modular crafting is so fking laughable that I can't take you seriously. I am aware of TC and there are some things I like about it that will creep it's way into my design (very few, because I actually don't like TInker's Construct. It's a shit mod with shit design that more often ruins packs than not. No disrespect to the creator). But please show me in the video where I build a smeltery for holding molten metal. Where I craft patterns and molds used to craft the parts of the items. Where you get to pour whatever material you want into generic molds (that I don't have). Where you have modifiers and you can add random items to in order to increase the stats of the item. Hell, I said you can enchant the weapons, you can't even enchant TC items xD. Where you can fking attach sticks to sword blades as a handle... You seen the video. I don't know what more you're wanting to see, or what you think I'm hiding, lol. When you interact with an anvil, the lil UI menu pops up, you select the parts you want, and if you have the materials, the item is crafted. There's not a whole lot to it. I'm not interested in making overly complicated mechanics. This will suffice for my needs. You smelt ores into ingots, that's about the only thing not in the video because I haven't worked on it yet, but it's also going to be straightforward, probably menu based with a queue and timer. Just, watch some blacksmithing videos, my guy. I do. I'm fascinated with blacksmithing. You'll see that swords are made up of different parts. Again, TC didn't invent blacksmithing.

Not too much, I only have a couple hours in it and I didn't really do the smithing. This setup did solve the clumsiness I was experiencing when I was crafting the parts individually though. :) Are you a fan? I've been wanting to give it a proper playthrough, it seems like a lot of fun.

Yeah, I am!

@@The-Pixel-master Thank you! And thanks for sticking around for so long. :)

Thank you!

@@paffification Thank you!

@@ilovegamedesign1576 Howdy! I agree, and prototyped a mini-game for forging, but it's still in the early stages, so I decided to leave it out of the video. Even cut out a huge chunk of audio I recorded for it which is why the video is so short, lmao. If I decide to keep it, I will make a future video on it. :) Mini-games are tricky, because they do get tiring if you don't do them properly. The fishing mini-game for Stardew Valley is really well designed, so it never gets old. So I would want to design something just as addictive if I used a mini-game. :)

It was an actual thing and it's called tyromancy, lol. The lil mouse in the video is a tyromancer. Cheese in the game acts like potions though, so I don't think I will make a class based off of it. You can be a cheesemonger that makes and sells cheese.

Godot. :)

I don't think so, I'm often taking damage and even getting game overs. I'm also the developer, and rule #1 of gamedev difficulty is you are a lot better at your game than everyone else. But I'm also not putting a lot of time into balancing the combat right now as it's not my focus and this game isn't meant to be brutally difficult. I'm more focused on the open world sandbox aspects of it. :) I will balance combat more later, get plenty of test playing to see what other people think about it, and likely have different difficulty settings.

2nd take taking candy from babies.

I'd like to, but I've got cheese crafting, which acts as a potion system providing buffs. So I'd have to figure out how that works in the game without one making the other redundant. :)

lol, I can see that. Could tie it in with Honest Jack. We (Discord) talked about him doing exactly this, brewing his own potions out back behind his Adventure Shack, which he waters down to sell more of them.
