- Blacksmith 1.1 is here! - 1 May 2020
Hi Everyone, Blacksmith just got a huge update! Completely overhauled UI design makes for a much smoother, intuitive and more visual experience. There have been some gameplay tweaks as well, including more Coin for Heroes and some free Coal each day. I hope these changes, like the UI, help make the game better and more satisfying without compromising difficulty. Tons of bug fixes new and old. But there may still be some left over. We currently have a stable build so if you encounter any please let me know and I'll be able to fix them quickly. I'm going to be doing hotfixes over the next few days at least. I hope you enjoy the new and improved Blacksmith! Let me know what you would like to see in future updates. Cheers, Otis and Maly

- Blacksmith 1.01 - 14 January 2019
Hello Everyone, Patch notes: - New Music by Aliki Lef. Every odd day you will have piano instead of guitar. Personally, I think this really enhances the game. [email protected] - 'Salt of the Earth' Achievement fixed. - I've attempted a fix for the Smelter issue. Please let me know if there are still issues. - This build also uses different setting for Linux. Players reported that some of the videos were not playing. Please report if there are any problems on Linux. I am on duty to quickly fix any game breaking issues any players might be having. Also here are some Youtubers who have been playing Blacksmith: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SKk1r2TdbY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ushEkSwR-KI Keep Forging and I'll see you for the next build.

- Blacksmith has left Early Access! - 11 January 2019
Greetings, citizens of Ironwell, Blacksmith has now left Early Access! As I've said before, this does not mean the end. I will continue to resolve bugs as they are reported, and work to make Blacksmith as good as it can be before going full steam with my next project. I just want to say a huge thank you to all the people who have endured this game in Early Access, either through purchasing the game or through a bundle. Thanks to you, Blacksmith is vastly better than we could have ever made it on our own. Ultimo may have been defeated for now, but there is much left to do for the Blacksmith of Ironwell. Stay tuned and keep your forges hot! Cheers, Otis and Maly
- The Future of Blacksmith - 7 January 2019
Hi Everyone, Blacksmith 0.974 is now live. There are a few more bug fixes and art assets and Achievements should now all be working smoothly. As we approach the transition to full release on the 11th of January, we're pretty much looking at the final product here. Every time someone reports a bug or makes a suggestion and every time I play through myself, Blacksmith is made better. I hope that continues to be the case moving forward into 2019 and beyond. We do plan to add more content, and when that is will depend on demand. Will the Blacksmith take on an Apprentice? Will we equip Ironwell's military? Will there be more Heroes and Quests? Will there be a sequel? We will see as we transition into full release. Keep the feedback coming. Stay tuned for more updates and news in the near future as we work on localization and applying community feedback. Until then, see you January 11th if no…
- Blacksmith 0.971 - 3 January 2019
Hi Everyone, Latest build has lots of minor bug fixes. I have decided to, at least for now, remove the tutorial at the beginning of the game. It may come back later at some point, but for now I think it actually has a net negative effect on the game. I will more likely improve on the mini tutorial that is already there when you press New Game. There are also a couple new art assets you might spot, and more incoming. Cheers, Otis
- Happy New Year! - 1 January 2019
Happy new year everyone, With today's upload, Blacksmith is very stable. This is in many parts thanks to the Yogscast/Humble Bundle Jingle Jam and all the people who have been playing and giving feedback. The game is also a little easier now, with Heroes earning more Coin each day based on their gear. This also should make the game feel more 'punchy', with gear having a stronger impact on the Heroes' growth. I'm going to focus on fixing the Achievements next and anything else that comes up. We're also working on Spanish localization. Chat soon and keep the feedback coming! Cheers, Otis and Maly
- Blacksmith 0.964 - 28 December 2018
Hi Everyone, A few things to say, I'll start with the patch notes. - 2 game breaking bugs with the Daily Report screen and after drinking Beer have been fixed. - Problems with Linux users have been fixed. - A few bugs that could interfere greatly with the Tutorial have also been fixed. I will do more tweaking to the Tutorial in the next few days. - Lots of minor fixes as well. (edit: - You will be able to continue your save game as normal in all cases.) We have tons of new Blacksmiths playing the game. So far I think I have fixed all the bugs that were reported and will continue to address any feedback. Please keep it coming! A very special and Christmassy thanks to Yogscast and Humble Bundle for the boost. Not only does the feedback mean vast improvements for Blacksmith, but I am very happy to have been involved in such a great event. Lots of money raised for charity and many cheers al…
