- 2026/8/17 A Word From the Producer of Ason - 17 August 2026
Hello everyone. This is Hanji, the producer of Cursed Blacksmith.Below is a VERY LONG letter I wrote to express my feelings throughout the whole production of the game. I repeat, it’s VERY LONG. Please take your time if you decide to give it a read.* Contains spoilers. Please read at your own risk. ～～～～～～～～～～ Let’s start from a little flashback.There was a 10-year-old kid. He spent hours in front of a TV holding the gamepad everyday. The game he was enjoying is a so-called “Mystery Dungeon” game, featuring a chicken-like creature that’s ever so familiar.It was the first time the kid experienced this genre. The playthrough was full of surprises to him. You never know what item you will get in the dungeons. You can use it directly, throw it, fuse it with something else and so on, all with its unique mechanics.The ever-changing gameplay felt so fresh. It’s not an action game, yet it’s also…
