I'm loving the game so far, keep up the good work. I was wanting to ask a few things, and give a few suggestions:
1: When do you think the second blacksmith will be purchasable?
2: I found 4 crystals. Do they have a purpose currently?
3: Once you've developed the game enough, will you add more to the world? Like, more places to purchase, mining, woodchopping, mobile-trading (Selling items on-the-go), and a larger map?
4: What do you think about being able to defend yourself from robberies? You could use the weapons you craft as defence from these attacks.
5: I'd love to be able to craft armour. Like gloves, gauntlets, chestplates, helmets etc, possibly out of metals and leather. What do you think?
6: Weather could be pretty cool. It could add another layer of immersion, but i'd expect it to be on the backburner.
7: A more advanced ordering system. By this, I mean people would ask for a more unique weapon. For example, a dagger with a fancy grip and a different type of dagger blade (more variants of the same blade can be added to the parts wheel (Z)) or a Polearm with new spearheads.
8: Bows and arrows. A thing I wouldn't expect to be made, but sounds cool.
9: When do you think mining will be implemented into the Shop Mode?
10: Does this run on Unreal Engine?
The game is full of stuff for it being in alpha, which tells me you're doing a great job. I can't wait to see the game once it's out of beta!
