Potion Craft, But With Blacksmithing - Blacksmith: Ignite the Forge

[@Zephyr314]

and that is why it is important to get people to test your game. Many will miss things like these

[@michasokoowski6651]

Which tells the developer that its not noticeable enough. Taylor is amazing for things like these because if he spots something, you can rest assured that everyone will spot it

@@BananaWasTaken Which you can heal by making ui good. Here ui has wrong font and contrast to be noticeable, while also being way too far from the area on the screen you focus on

this game reminds me of Jacksmith and that game was half my childhood, so safe to say I'm looking forward to this

[@EUaintAVAILABLE]

I thought the same thing. I'm pretty sure this game was inspired by Jacksmith, the concept is really similar.

[@sasho_b.]

Ah, memories. Dumb child non-anglophone me didnt understand you could actually pour slower in order for the weapons to not be all bent.

[@thehansboi]

Yea this feels like jacksmith if it was given the potion craft treatment

[@Goobilicous]

That's the first thing I thought! I was like, "Isn't this Jacksmith? hahaha. It's definitely heavily inspired for sure.

[@minecrafting_il]

WOW I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT NAME IN A WHILE Probably my favorite childhood game

[@rebeccahogan876]

Finally, a game that acknowledges that blacksmithing involves *working* the blade, and not just pouring molten metal into a mold

[@NumLokke]

Completely skips over sharpening tho :/

[@ThylineTheGay]

well that depends on the particular metal/alloy

[@dewhi100]

Devs, when you crack a rock open in the mines, send the minerals straight to the inventory.

[@noahkendrick]

I think it would be better to simply add that as a accessibility option in the settings because while some people would prefer it I also like the ability to move things around like it is now

[@martinescobar3908]

OR add shift-click to quick collect

[@Smoth48]

Maybe just a "collect all" button once everything has been mined?

[@Disko3674]

Or just skip the ore cracking and just have ores in the cave that you click to mine

Or just skip going to the cave at all and just _have_ the ores.

[@prosekytpl885]

They should add ARMOR SMITHING, it is important blacksmith work

[@minetech4898]

Agreed, would be cool if balance isn't too big of an issue

[@westarrr]

Nowhere near as important as smithing tools (nails, horseshoes and manual tools), but those don't have the fantasy flair 😹

You can view the smithing shape on the anvil again by holding space!

[@JamesTDG]

But the fact that this is obscure info just feels unfair. Let us just get a hologram for the outline that we can toggle

[@GigsTaggart]

​@@JamesTDG obscure info? It's a huge caption always on the screen to press space to see the outline

[@anonymoususer188]

@@GigsTaggart I'd hardly call it huge. The font definitely could've been bigger. Maybe add a slight animation to the text too such as growing and shrinking. Movement is great for drawing attention to important information.

[@space_viper]

Yesss that game was so good!!

[@AhmedHassan-lv6ld]

Doesn't exactly have the same feel as potion craft at all But it still looks extremely promising and I do think the idea has a lot of room for depth 7/10 so far

[@dinoeebastian]

I actually think it feels surprisingly similar to potion craft despite how different they are

[@owentucker6215]

@@dinoeebastianyeah, the screen at the start of each day where you mine the rocks is just like the starting screen with the herb gardenZ

[@dinoeebastian]

@@owentucker6215 The starting screen and the mining area are both similar to the other game, but the starting room is the bedroom for both games, not the mining/herb room

[@JamesLaChance1]

Theme-wise it's only similar in that you're making and selling stuff. Gameplay wise the similarity is you get some random ingredients at the start of each day and semi-rare opportunities to buy more. Which combinations of ingredients you have are important for which effects you can make. Obviously potion craft goes into its own mini game there for how to get effects with different ingredients but it has surface level similarity.

[@ithalathegayguy]

​@@JamesLaChance1and potioncraft adds several more layers of complexity as time goes on, which I'm sure this game will have its own versions of... I mean, there is definitely a lot of suspicious negative space in that smeltery room

Feel like there needs to be a "grinding" step, where you take off excess material for sharpening and final adjustments but the better job at forging you do the less grinding you need to do

This reminds me of an old mobile game in which you tap the metal to shape the sword you're forging then you either sell the swird or equip it onto your blacksmith girl and go explore for ores and mob loots to make more sword.

[@biggestenjoyerofthebiggest7796]

something I do hope they do with this game is for them to add a chill tycoon-y gamemode where there's no loss condition and you can just smith stuff forever, maybe they could repurpose chaos to be a nerf instead of a loss giving you worse prices the higher your chaos is? I definitely don't want them to just remove the current gamemode, it's definitely cool on it's own, I've just been searching for a blacksmithing tycoon game forever and I've noticed there's not really many choices and I'm sure there's plenty of other peeople who'd find a game like that fun.

[@nitzan33]

A second episode whether I like it or not? Well, I certainly like it!

[@kingacrisius]

There was a UI element telling you that you can hold space to see the outline on the anvil. I think they should make it pop up the first time you go past the border by graying out the screen and putting it right over the center.

[@deathblade32]

Reminds me of the game "Weapon Shop De Omase" for the 3dS. You had to make weapons for adventurers to their specification so they could go out and fight evil. The only difference is that, A. you dont see the fights, and B. Its more of a pattern game than a forging game.

Maybe it is more important to focus on several missions per day? they seem to cause chaos if not completed, so maybe it is better to fight off a couple of easier ones
