This is a solo project in which you play as a young blacksmith, within a fantasy/medieval world, who starts his own smithy after being an apprentice at his fathers smithy. Due to being new unkown smithy you will need to build your reputation by completing working orders ranging from ordinary items such as nails to swords and more.

Right now the game is in the beginning phase of development as I started a bit late. Currently I am working on interaction between you and the customers, interaction and inventory are useable and in testing and the smithing itself is in design phase as I still need to decide how exactly I want to implement it.

Because it is a solo project any art and sound is yet to be made and implemented, but I plan for it to be made in pixel art.

This sounds super fun! 

Where you're a few days behind it could be worth relying on the pixel art assets available on itch rather than building your own, at least till you've finished the game building, then use any free time to begin replacing the assets with your own original work :)

Can't wait to give this game a try when it's done! :D

I will definitely rely on outsourcing the pixel art for now and most likely I will have to rely on them even when submitting this game for the game jam as graphics are not my strongest side tho I will try to make some I fell like are presentable and implement them in the game.

You are submitting a game as well right? I will give it a try after the jam as well :D

[UPDATE]

I am currently implementing basic interaction between the crafting/smithing system and inventory, but at the current moment there is no specific interation which the player could do.

Yesterday I made first iteration of the smithy using assets from itch. Currently without any lighting, which I plan to add later on, so it looks somewhat bland. 

The image I had was that the building you use was a two floor storage house that you bought, resulting in not having much decor. You then added a smithy to the back of it using most of the money you had saved. The first room, on the lower floor on the right, servers for customer to come in and task you with their order, the middle room as a stairway to the upper floor, small storage and for heating the first floor using the fireplace (currently the same asset as the forge, will most likely be changed later). The left room is the smithy and the upper floor being your own room.
