If anyone wants to check out interesting customer interaction in a video game, please play Dragon Quest IV (aka Dragon Warrior 4) on the original Nintendo. Chapter 3 focuses on a merchant named Taloon. As Taloon, you go out and get items by fighting monsters, which are the items that stock your shop. Then you stand behind the counter while people come in and browse what you currently have to offer. Sometimes they'll offer you extra money for an item, sometimes they'll offer less (and you can always deny their purchase). Some people will come in, view your items for sale, decide you have nothing they want and leave. It might be interesting in MLBS if sometimes the customers weren't requesting something, but just came to browse through what you already have in stock.

Here's some suggestions I thought up while playing your game [BTW it was pretty gewd]

+Have costumers ask for a certain material [Which you could use a list to control what they buy such as you can make it so you are only selling pikes, or hammers of a certain material]

+Day shouldn't go by if the shop is closed unless a customer is inside the shop

+Add a bit more time between customers so players can take a breather

+The ability to set prices on items [If the price is 20 above cost price customers wont buy]

+Have people order things and pick them up at certain times [Set time by using a board]

+The option to expand and upgrade your shop [Two anvils, faster furnace, etc]

+An easier to use item system [You pick it up into a slot and can place/rotate it when putting it down]

+Better DOF

That's about it, I'd love to see some of these implemented. Thanks for reading!

This game is really cool so far! What I would suggest is the ability to make your shop better. As an example, your shop could start out with dirt floors and a small, not as nice area. Like a makeshift forge, and a dingy counter and shelves. I think it would be great if you could, for example, change your dirt floor to wood, along with expanding the shop, making a better forge, a better counter, and more and nicer shelves. I also think it would be cool if you could go into a grid mode and put shelves where you want. I generally think customization will be a good addition. (given that the customization isn't too hard to do) And, with moving shelves, (and possibly other things) you could switch between modes of it snapping into place, and when you can move it freely. I think that it should be pretty expensive for any upgrades in the shop, to make each upgrade seem more significant. With the floors, it would be cool to have different types of wood, (like oak, birch, and mahogany) and different types of stone floor options. (granite, cobblestone, etc.)

These are a few of my ideas, thanks for reading them 🙂

P.S. I also think it would be cool to have events going on outside your shop, like two "people" getting into a fight, and having the "people" interact with each other. It would be awesome to be able to move your shop to different locations, like in the mountains or the forest. It would also be cool to have multiple races, like elves and dwarves (races might not work well) One final idea is to add wildlife that you could see going by your shop, or interacting with other A.I.

Thanks again 🙃

1. Multiplayer - for the competitive players:

• Few people per town.
• Compete against each other for the title of the best blacksmith.
• The shop that sell the best weapons for the smallest amount of time gets the most customers.
• Try earn the most money.

2. Shields & Armour.

3. Fancy pole arm.

MOre of a technical suggestion
For rotating things try to use one jkey per one axis

For example "ALT" Key For x Axis

"Ctrl" for y axis

and "shift" For z Axis

Hey Dasius. In first this game is really great, and really fun. Thanks for this game ^-^ and what about letting NPCs have pets ? And letting us to make some small accesories, like collars for dogs (or wolves) or some bags for bigger animals like bears etc... i think that would be really nice :) ^-^

Hey dude, Amazing look in 0.7 much improvement many awesome... so just a suggestion... the chest placement and the placement of the reccent transactions scribe thing ( the thing above the chest) is in kinda a bad spot as it is mostly obstucted by the furnace door i would suggest moving it to either the bedroom or somewhere where it had more space to view thanks

So I can't help but notice that the water and fire crystals are unnamed. Could they be named Wisdom and Rage? or do you have other plans for them?

Upgrades for the Shop.

I have lot to advise so stay with me here. Like if you want to see one of these implemented.

1. You could add monster raids. how i think this could work is that after you sleep, there would be a 20% or 25% chance of an attack occurring. 2-5 green-skinned bad guys or thieves would spawn. words would pop up on the screen that say something like "monsters are attacking!" or "defend your shop from the monsters". then you would have to make a sword or other weapon for your own use to deal damage and kill the monsters. You would get more money from the people you sell items to for only the day of the attack as a thank-you note for killing the monsters. However you shouldn't be able to hurt the civilians. And if you don't kill the monsters in time before they knock you out(not kill you. you would respawn at your bed if you decided that monsters could kill)or reach your shop then you would lose a percent of your money. please also make the monsters have orcish sounding names and the thiefs have more human sounding names.(if you decide to implement this in the game could you make one of the thief's names be "Nick". thank you)

2. I think you could add bows. you could use the logs behind the shop to make short sticks or long sticks. One log makes 3-5 short sticks and 2 long sticks. you could hit a patch of grass to get grass then put the grass on the anvil and hit it to make string or twine. put 1 long stick and 1 string/twine to make the bow itself. the short sticks would make the wooden part of the arrows. you could hit 1 ingot on the anvil to make 3 or so arrow tips. you could just leave it there or you could make it more realistic with feathers. little chickens could be in the land around the shop or in a pen behind the shop(or in a pen by a different house). you could right click them not to move them but to harvest a feather then you could put a short stick, a feather, and an arrow tip together to make 2-3 arrows(if it was 1 arrow it would be a pain in the butt to make and it would take a long time to make too). i have no advise on aiming and shooting a bow tho :(.

3. Please make a better tutorial. I personally got really confused when i started the game. i could hardly read the notes scattered around the shop. i think you could make a step by step tutorial to teach you how to properly do everything. or you could just have your first customer talk you through the step by step process without a time limit(he can say that you keep the weapon he asked for but doesn't pay). keep in mind some people might already know how to play and would like to skip the tutorial. Or you could add a story-line(objective goal) where you have to make a certain amount of money before your manager or boss comes back from vacation. he could be the one to teach you step by step how to play the game before he leaves. or if you don't want the game to end like this you could add the ability to keep going on your own after he comes back from vacation.

Thank you if you read the whole and please like if you want to see any of these implemented.

Hey Dasius,

First of all i really like your game, It's amazing how much work you put in it.

I've updated the game today to the version 0.0.71 and i saw the new wheel where you can choose the type of things you want to craft on the anvil. Everytime you need to press z to choose the type. Maybe it would be easier when you just hold the right mouse button before you can start the process on the anvil, or just have an indicator on it. I'm suggesting it because i've made many times the wrong part and over time it's a little bit frustrating.

i'd suggest you implemment weapons such as maces, war axes, bows, maybe later even magic staffs

Man you can do Random customers With orders to make legendary weapons or magic weapons using crystals for exemple: a wizard request a ice sword and you need To use a white crystal to enchant it PS: If there is any grammar error, I'm sorry, I do not speak English, I'm Brazilian.

would be nice to see this game with a co-op / multiplayer mode play with a friend in the same shop or up to 4 friends in a world and see who gets the most money in a short time.

Combat, that would be fun, and enemy could posibbly drop money or their weopon for your own use??

Hey Dasius,

I Have some ideas for the future

1. Waggons: Their like big customers from the king or like a lord with a private army or just a weapon seller. They come over to your shop from time to time and ask you for a special delivery. Like 10 great hammer 10 one handed swords and 10 pole arms. You can decline it if youre to bussy or running out of money. If you accept the wagon will stand in your yard until the customer comes back. If you throw a weapon in there it will snap in place so it will not glitch somwhere. On the waggon is a list which says 8/10 one handed swords 1/10 polearms....

2. Streets: Im sure its already in your to do list but i just want to mention it.

3. The Tavern: You can go in there in the evening to find some really nice jobs while youre drinking with some other dudes. Like i need a Titanium Great sword with a fire rune it should look like that ..... and then a window pops up and shows you for a short time a picture of the weapon. You have to remember it but it will be also on your to do list on the wall.

4. To do List / Job list: Let's say you have some long term jobs, like the big job for the king and 2 from the tavern. There should be a list (like the last sold weapon list) on the wall somwhere.

5. Trainee: In the midd / Endgame it would be nicer to find a trainee which will do the junk work for you like a customer will come in and want a bronze dagger or you send him with your own waggon to the forrest to chop some wood for you or go to the mine to get iron. It will take some time depending on the material you want. You also need to train him to be a Blacksmith. You have to show him 10 - 30 times ( depends on the difficulty lvl ) how to do a dagger or some other weapons.

6.difficulty lvl: If you choose easy you will get more money from the customers on hard less. The Time from a customer will be shorter or longer the jobs from the king bigger or smaler, the times you have to show your trainee how to do a weapon higher or lower.

Hey man, i've got a simple idea, just add more Ingots, and make some new weapons with it, and maybe you can mix different ingots for the same weapon and stuff, and make the ingots more expensive, in 7 days i've got 20k

Ya know those rocks in the sandbox mode can u add them in shop mode? PS I might come up with more ideas

Please make the crafting table be the dismantling table as well instead of the anvil. Please, please, please. Every time my weapons glitch on the crafting table and the customer leaving in a huff, I'd rather be punching myself in the face.

I know this is a blacksmith shop, but I would love to craft some armor too. And of course new weapons, maybe projectiles like javelin, bow/arrows, crossbow etc. The rest of the town looks dull, you can arrange some trade caravans arrival at some specific date like every 10th day a caravan arrives, you sell items and even buy some. More tools would be great, using the same tool for everything looks simple. This game has so much potential, but I'm afraid its a little repetative now. If you can fix the bugs and add more content like these, I will be grateful.

I would love to see this game on steam with achievements! Thank you.

Alpha 0.0.72

I would like to suggest to make fancy polearms and guards (if possible). I would also like to suggest a fix to a problem- when you make a sword and it gets stuck in the table. make it so whenever adding a piece onto a weapon, it will set it into a 90 degree angle.

Is there going to be a MAC version of this game. Because it looks like so much fun but I cant play it.

Dasius, The time that customers expect for your product should not change over the course of days, because the day I am in 45 seconds the customers leave, and that is a bit annoying, because I am worried about making the weapons in time and I do not think that's very cool. Please, if you can always keep time in 160 seconds.
I would appreciate it and I would have more time to enjoy this beautiful art. Sorry for the horrible English (I used google translator)

How do i break apart items that I accidentally put together?

Thankyou.

first of all this game is awsome and i got a few ideas:

1- it would be cool if you can take your own weapons and go to an little adventure to gain special materials.

2- it would be also cool if you can give your weapons abilitys like poison or thunder

3- fullbody armors, sicles, longswords and mazes

4- able to upgrate your smith

these are just ideas and im not mad if nothing from this is going in the game i love it anyway

Could you implement multiplayer, it would be so much better with other people.

Hey

Clicking z for the pop up menu for what you want to craft can be a little confusing when you click what you want to make but there is no change in the menue. It would be so much more helpful if the option you clicked would turn a different colour and the menu closes itself one you have selected an option. That way its more streamlines, less irritating, its its easy to check which option is currently selected if you forget.

It would be nice if customers would come more frequently. Its a bit boring to serve a customer and then have to wait by counter, just staring at the door for another customer to spawn for that odd 45seconds.

It would also be nice if there was a 'regular order' button when purchasing ores and such. If you tend to buy say 15 iron ore and 5grips in bulk all the time, it would be nice to have the option to customise a 'regular order' so you could just click that instead or having to sort through the different menues and click 20 times for the stuff you want.

I think it'd be cool if in-game you not only made hand-held weapons, but also siege weapons and stuff like that.

make it possible to mix the ingots and then create better weapons

If you can you should add armor smithing into the game. that would be cool with weapons and shields. There could be things like helmets and breastplates, whatever you can. Also maybe having an option to toggle a mode where multiple customers are at the desk and request items and/or instead having some costomers ask for multiple items. ;) This game is amazing so far i love it :)

So, do you think you'll update the game with MLP Characters? Because with the name "My Little Blacksmith" I was kinda expecting ponies. Which isn't a critique on the game, just curious

I'm one of those players that uses invert y-axis, (don't know why) but I was sad to see there was no option for invert y :( I would be really happy if there was an option put in for that, thank you!

I've got some ideas on what to add, please read this.

1. Make the map bigger, add more secrets, and crystals. I for one am the type of person who likes to take the time to look over the whole map.

2. Make it so you can customize and expand you shop for money, I don't really like the lay out (that's just me). But I think this would add another aspect to the game.

3. PLEASE make racks for weapons and shields, that have similar mechanics to the anvil. So items just "click" in place.

4. Make it so the A.I. can take stuff off of those racks and buy them, (if you do this multiple people could come in at once).

5. If my idea #4 happens make it so the number of customers increase every day, like your shop becomes more popular every day.

6. Make charisma gives you more money, i'm at level ten. Selling adelite, and it is only giving me around $12 extra, if you don't increase the amount it gives you normally make it give more when you sell better material.

7. Make items like crates heavier, I've had delivery crates fly across the map. I must say it isn't much fun to get them back.

8. Give the golem a friend, I think he is lonely that's why he is pacing around.

I've got plenty more in my head but I need to get back to my shop, thank you for taking the time to read my suggestions.

Hey Dasius,

It would be great to see a storage area for things we order ahead of time, perhaps make use of the various cubby holes and shelves in the shop. That way when I order 5 one hand grips they are placed somewhere I can access them easily and I don't have to collect all my items off the ground. I am not sure if you intended for your end users to have to do everything that way with the ordering system or not. Just a suggestion ;)

Also I think a sale rack for us to display items we make would be great, what I mean is I like to create things ahead of time and if I have an item that I want to sell to anyone it would be cool if someone could walk up and purchase an item I have on display and place an order as well. Perhaps in the future we will have customization options for engravings and things to make special items we can sell freely on the counter or on the walls of the shop. Maybe if you do this I can decide on days when I stay closed and restock my already made tools and weapons.

One last thing would be implementing a date and time indicator, that way if we want our shop to be closed on say Wednesdays we can do that. Maybe include it on the sign out front, something like operating hours for the shop. Maybe that is not historically accurate I just like the role play feel of it all.

Again, this game is great it is always something I wanted from a video game and I am glad to see that someone talented like yourself is taking the time to make a game, that by the time it's finished is going to be something amazing.

could you make an access to settings before the game start?

A simple idea, actually just for your page, can you make an Update log? I would love to know what was fixed/changed each update so i know to see how the new/fixed feature works. Allows us to give better feed back on ideas.

omg i just started playing this game today and i love it but i was thinking you should make some type of multiplayer even if its splitscreen or lan but multiplayer would be amazing specially online multiplayer but either make it like vs like you have to compete against friends to get the most money or maybe co-op you work with friends to get stuff done quicker like one hammers other makes and sells or mmo like you can go out and buy from other players shops and sell those to either npcs or other players if all of that is to hard maybe just an online auction house where people can upload some cool maybe custom named things and others can buy and either keep or sell those to the npcs for more money than if you made it as it would be considered "Rare" but all and all i love it and im gonna be addicted to it for a long time so keep it up :3 <3 ps after thought i would donate but i has no money as im twelve :3

Can you create a version for Mac

Great game so far.

Suggestion 1 - Storage for parts and finished items. (As suggested before).

Suggestion 2 - That customers may ask weapons based on a budget. Something like "I want a great sword, and I just have a $50". That way you will be forced to use different materials, not just the most expensive you can afford.

Suggestion 3 - An option to turn customers away... "shooo, leave now".

Suggestion 4 - Some customers (a small percentage) may say something different like "Give me a hardy great sword, cuz I need to fight a dragon", "Need some protection, gimme a dagger"

there could be some sort of dungeon to get ores, ingots, grips, blades... and you could bring some hammer/sword/polearm that you created to fight enemies, and could have grinding for swords and other blades and sorry for my english

Would it be possible to have customers come more frequently? I understand that currently you only have a single customer spawned in at a time as it is now, but it would be a much more natural way to increase player challenge by having more customers, compared to decreasing the customers' patience. Having the customers queue up could be difficult to program though, but this would give them a reason to have less patience. The rate at which customers come on a given day could also be determined by how many customers were satisfied the previous day.

Maybe once you can upgrade your store, you could have room for multiple customers at once, which would increase the potential for players to earn money even further while making it an added challenge to satisfy all customers.

Its really a fun game its a shame i cant donate because i dont have a credit card or paypal yet :(

but dont be sad im sure it will be a great game in its final stages

Hello, Very fun game so far. Suggestion to add stuff:

1. Battle axes

2. Armor (chest plate, grieves, boots, etc.)

3. Set our own prices (too high they won't buy it, and too low you won't make money).

4. Ease up on the later days timers, or fix the bug where if you premake the item the customer bugs out. (I guess make it more of a tycoon type game where you are trying to have the best shop, not the fastest. It becomes more like those 'build a burger or pizza' type games where you race a clock and it loses its enjoyment/low stress playability, at least for me and becomes a tedious grind). Edit: Instead of the time limit being the main point of the game, make a rating system so that after crafting you may have made a 50% quality item, so it will sell for less, when you get better at making the items you will get closer to 100% quality and make more money that way. I hope this was clear, if there is any confusion on what I mean I can go into more detail.

5. Some customization to the house/shop.

6. Some type of signature type or styling for your shop (if they come to your shop they will get sword 2 or 3 variant for example).

7. If there aren't any customers you could sell items to a local market or send items out for delivery instead of the customer having to come in.

These are just a few suggestions. Like I said I am enjoying the game so far and hope to see more. I know creating a game is not easy (quite the opposite actually) and I'm sure this is worked on in the developers free time as a side project. But, I would love to see more and can't wait for the developer to get more support from the community. Please keep up the good work and hopefully a new distribution channel will become available to you so you can have the support needed to continue working on it and even go full time developing it.

If you do like any of my suggestions and choose to implement them I demand royalties! <-----(100% joking)

I have a suggestion.

Make the anvil have different tiers. Copper to Iron and so on. Each tier making the smithing faster. And maybe make new smith hammers you can make? I'm all for customization.

probably someone already said this... or maybe not... AXES, after the shields axes could be a good call

In regards to blunt weapons, I think using one ingot and a one hand grip, you could be able to create an axe, and possibly a waraxe using four ingots(?) and a polearm grip. Just a thought, so that there's blunt head for everything.

Hey man, I just downloaded the game, though I haven't had the ability to play it thus far (School, you know?) though I have watched PLENTY of gameplay in anticipation of my play-time. Firstly, I think this game is perfect to itch (Hah) that want-satisfaction itch in all of us with exceedingly satisfying graphics and creation mechanics. My only suggestion (And it's loose based on gameplay I've watched) Is to potentially add another tab extending out in another quarter circle from whatever head you select (With Z I think the button is) For instance if you chose Hammer heads, another tab pops out from that allowing you to select what kind of hammer head you want to craft, rather than having to hit the piece of metal 3 or 4 times to get it where you want it. I'd love to hear your feedback!

- AJ

Please add the option to invert the mouse Y-Axis, as well as manage mouse sensitivity

Mac içinde Gelsin

Note: I FLIPPING LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!! :D

Note2: you dont have to add this stuff, i just thought it would be cool to see what you could come up with.

could you please add the ability to use your weapons and fight people e.g.

the blacksmith knight,

oh and a new element called Embosite, black like titanium but with green techno patterns through it I would love to see somthing like that,

please reply if you see this.

sincerely C.D.

Wonderful lovely beautiful game, good work. I would recommend having a deep backstory and different types of items - as well as this I think it would be awesome if you had specific orders for a very specific weapon type. For example: "I would like a copper sword, variant 2 with a fancy one hand grip. I would love to see that. But anyway, love the game! Keep up the good work!

TORCHES NEED TO GIVE OFF MORE LIGHT! Sorry for caps but, i felt it was needed.

i suggest you to add:

-a trader that comes to your shop one time per week and sell rare and uniques parts.

-a fighting mechanic that you can kill monster to get drops and craft your weapons.

-story

-armors

-enchanted weapons

-and a And a deeper skill system

I love the game so far, great job !

So my suggestions are based on a lot of upgrades for the shop like many suggested it already. The upgrades would be listed in the selling/ordering menu under upgrades. [ Ingots Grips Guards Upgrades]

Basicly you get in addition to XP also shop reputation points based on the selling price. Your reputation will unlock shop upgrades and attract more costumers. You might even consider implement modifier on weapons based on your blacksmithing skill. The general modifier names like Basic, Masterful, Legendary would be good. They will modify the selling price of course.

First unlocked upgrades for the shop would be storages. You would be able to upgrade the yard with a ingot stacking storage. They will snap on each other like the ingots do with the anvil. Placing ordered chests with ingots on that area and destroying the chest will even automaticlly stack the ingots. The stacks could look like reallife gold stacks in banks.

Upgrades-> Ingot storage -> Copper Ingot (50)

Tin Ingot (500)

Irong Ingot (5000)

....

each ore type has increased (balanced price)

The next unlocked upgrade would change the upper shelves in the store to snapping shelves for one hand and two hand guards. same with one hand and two hand grips (work with fancy ones too). They will hold 10 of each.

Upgrades -> shelves -> One hand Guard

Two hand Guard

one hand grip

two hand grip

pole arm grip

Next upgrade would be in the yard sword/hammer head storage racks. they can store 5 of each the style does not matter. Of course snap on. dagger, small blade, large blade, small hammerhead, large hammerhead all nicely stored.

The next suggested upgrade would be a hireling/assistant. He or she will cost daily no matter if you even sell something.

if you give him/her a hammerhead/bladehead he/she will start replicating it in style and in ore if you have the ingot storage and the racks for the finished product.

the next upgrade would be the in front counter displays made functional. they will snap on your specific type weapon and hold it. If a costumer comes buy and wants to order an already displayed one he or she will immediatly get it and your bonus time will be just one second.

Later you would be able to upgrade the displays holding 3 and holding 5 of each kind.

--------------------

These were my upgrade the store suggestions that will reduce flying or stuck items and make the store look organized.

other ideas were given you by some people with allowing higher tier of items : altars (f.e.magic weapons)

it can be combined with my idea of upgrading/reputation system

Some other suggestions here:

1. make a ingame handbook snapped in one of the shelves that can be browsed through with mouse wheel, it will contain your level, your reputation if you do implement that, the chance of higher modifier being made if you do implement that, and of course all your sheets and tutorial advisements you find on the walls and the little papers there.

2. maybe make the furnance use up fuel, higher ore need more pricey fuel, fuel may increase modifier chance?

f.e. wood, coal, fire essence, soul fragments

3. maybe get later ingame bulk orders by kings(via mail) 10 small swords please! you have to put them in a special delivered crate. order time is increased of course

4. maybe craft unique and one time items/upgrades for the player - one ingot ->hammer head->blacksmith hammer

the higher tier the hammer the faster/higher chance for better modifier

hope you can see just even one of my suggestion as useful. Keep the good work up!!

You should implement a system where you have to either explore to unlock or upgrade to unlock different styles of weapons.

For example in your new update, there is a secret polearm in the forest with an awesome looking blade. At the beggining of the game you can already make that blade without finding it. You should make it so you have to explore and find it in order to be able to make that type of sword.

A few suggestions.

1. The ability to have and train an apprentice.
2. The ability to pin up the instructions somewhere (or have a menu) to streamline the learning curve.
3. Weapon customization, i.e. Engravings, Hilts, Different Guard and Blade Designs
4. Custom Orders, that payout more. (Pairs with number 3)
5. (This is probably the biggest one) The ability to use weapons you make to adventure.
6. Crystals can power up weapons (Goes with number 5)
7. Weapons have different status effects (Goes with 5 & 6)

New Crafting Ideas

1. Small and Large Short and Long Swords (Not really new, just a distinguishment between the two)
2. Bows and Different Types of arrows, I.e. Poison, Sharpness (Causes a bleeding effect), Silver (Extra monster damage), Armor Piercing to name a few.
3. Shields
4. Axes
5. Scythes
6. Staffs and Staves
7. Cestus'
8. Gadlings
9. Push Daggers
10. Whips (Maybe like a small blade on the end to do damage.
11. Kanabo
12. Halberds
13. Flails
14. Kunai
15. Kusarigami (Had to put these in here they're badass)

That's all I can think of without copying other suggestions I've seen. Love the game by the way. Keep it up. :)

Can you put a way to create metal alloys like bronze by mixing tin and copper?

Dasius, I have multiple suggestions! 1: You should eneable a feature to take parts off of weapons. I hve wated many a tin accidentally throwing it a polearm grip... 2: You should add customizeable weapons, as in, a daily special! You, the player, get to name said special, and offer it up for a price, usually for a profit. 3: You should add Armor as craftable things! This would be so cool! 4: You should add combat, as in, enemies would ransack the village when you are sleeping, and you have to fight them along with warriors, to keep your shop safe! 5: You should add a new town area where you can buy personalization items and shop 'Upgrades' such as furniture, decor, etc, that have an effect on customers. Love your game, and can't wait to see future updates!

what about letting us upgrade things in our shop and/or being able to buy a new shop

Can you make another shop to move in when get enough money?

Pretty please add in support to invert the look controls, I want to play this game so bad but I cannot adjust and end up stairing at the floor/ ceiling!

Delivery boxes that have smaller items like say 6 one-handed grips, should be small enough to place on the shelf before you open it, it would save alot of time and hastle

Hey! I just played the new version of the game and loved it! Nice work on it! What I'd love to see next is equip-able weapons, and maybe an armour crafting mechanic. I'd also like to see events, like festivals, or attacks and any other cool things that you can think of. Other then that I love the game, you've done a really good job on it!

Thanks!

maybe the ability to choose more FOV iv never made a game so dont know if its hard or anytng please inform me

an xbox controller compatiability , i dont know how to pick up with the controller

just a thought Pull, or/and ax Bearded ax? also a screenshot feature would be cool.

Hi (just saying I cant Spell well) I think you could add armor crafting to the game.

by the way grate game

Just wanted to say that as a blacksmith I love this game, only greivance is the use of water instead of oil.

pls game creator, MAKE THIS GAME BE FOR MAC! PLS! IM NOT GONNA GET A WINDOWS SOON SO PLS MAKE THIS GAME FOR MAC! YOU CAN LEAVE THE WINDOWS VERSIONS DOWNLOADABLE BUT PLS MAKE A MAC VERSION ALSO PLS!

hi I just started to play my little blacksmith shop and I have had a problem with the weapons glitch into the table when I put them together, and I have tried to reload the games.

I read that you increased the cost of ingots. I have just got the game and I'm on day 8, I am still on the copper ingots as I am struggling to make much money. I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if something should be changed to make it a tiny bit quicker. I also read that you are supposed to get a lot of money if you give them the item quickly, if I give it to them instantly I still only get a max of 3 extra money.

Suggestions (in no particular order):-

1. Enable ability to toggle physics on an object. So that they can be locked into place and unlocked if needed to reposition/removed. (An Example with crates:- This will enable us to fix a crate into position that doesnt get accidentally knocked and spewing its contents everywhere. Not only that, the crate can be put at an inclined angle to cradle the contents more effectively.)

Can place the option for the above in the 'Z' selection wheel maybe. Allowing to right mouse hold item and enter the selection wheel to lock it.

2. Make a thread that is stickied and locked to you. So that you can give the community a little info a few days a week on what you are doing. At the moment, i bet alot of people like me are checking these boards to see if any new info is available, but it goes a long time without anything. (Disregard cause you have Trello)

3. With the use of suggestion (1), give us different length and width planks. So that we can make pigeon holes, boxes, crates and shelves as we see fit. I think this will be a powerful mechanic :D .... With this kind of mechanic, itll probably be possible to make our own home/shop/storage lockup/etc.

4. With the use of the latter part of suggestion (3), allow us to designate where our shop is. Maybe have the counter as the item that is used to draw customers towards, which is unlockable to be moved, as suggested method(s) above.

After thought:-

Some of these implimentations may eleviate many other suggestions that people have asked for. (more storage, shop expansion, Labelled storage boxes/shelves, etc)

I peeked into the files and I saw a VIVE and an Oculus Rift folder are you adding VR? coz i have a vive and i would low key love it xD

hello i think it would be cool if you could A.make hammers and use them if they are better than your current hammer(i think the key to take the new hammer should be T) B.make wepons and use them on quests/adventures/in dungeons.

multiplayer might be cool to add so you can have one person making and buying the weapons and another selling them

So, I don't know if anyone has suggested yet because I'm not gonna read through hours wort of suggestions to check that, but I have a crazy idea.

What if we had the ability to repair? I dunno if you have plans for the tools on the side of the workbench, but we could use those to repair weapons, and hand them back for a fee. It'd be like a quarter of the cost, since we use no mats (or very few, depending on the damage, in which case the price goes up) and our charisma could max it out at like half the cost of the normal weapon buy price.

Now, aside from that, there's also my crazy idea. I know you want to expand the areas of exploration and customization, but I see there's a broken cart outside my house as of 0.0.73. What if we could upgrade our shop, first of all, and I know you already want to do that. Also tho, what if the cart could be used for deliveries? I think you gotta make the boxes a little slower moving when picked up so they don't jostle stuff so hard, or delivery boxes could have like different shapes and the items set in them get locked into a place so they don;t fly around? IDK. But, we could get a guy come in with a paper, he hands it to us, and it could be taxes or a military order! And then the military order is like "Make the Army 10 one handed swords of tin!" and he'll hand you like the paper and you'll get the coin to make those. If you don't put them in the cart and "deliver" them, you lose hella money and maybe that could be a loss idk how that would work but it could be like normal orders just with boxes of items.

Also, Dunno about armor being implemented, but making that would be sick as fuck.

That's all thanks for reading my shit idea if you did.

I know this has probably benn asked a lot but could we possibly get the ability to craft actual armor? Like breastplates and helmets.

Multiplayer so we can play this with friends

a whet stone I.E. grinding weal for putting an edge on your customers new or old weapons... and if you ever implement plate armor a breastplate stretcher, scouring barrel for chain mail.

Tried the Sandbox version, so is it 3 common cut up wood for 3 copper ores? And does it take more wood the higher tier of metal you have. Just wanna get a head start on the next update : ) Tin takes a long time to buy right now, making 4$ profit for each weapon you make. Been playing a few hours, made a 100$ profit so far. Got my Charisma up to 4, and it's day 8. Starting to get less and less time for each order.

Edit: 1 Uncommon firewood can smelt ores for a while, like a minute or so. I threw in like 7 Iron ore, 3 copper ore, and 1 admantite ore. All smelted with 1 firewood. Guessing it's a time limit kind of deal

Make it for the macs PLEASE!!!

#MACLIVESMATTER

Wouldn't it be cool if you could actually use the items you craft? I know this may be completely different, and very hard to program, but how about an arena, where you can use your weapons to fight other people. Winning will give you money, however, losing/getting killed will restart the day, or lose profit.

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!

Suggestions I have in mind:

1. Maybe add a few animals, because immersion. Maybe deer in the forest, or rabbits/birds.

2. A way to design/customise your shop. Would love to upgrade, or add to it.

3. And yeah, a difficulty system would do nicely, and maybe you can make it customizable in a few ways. Like adding extra funky challenges for extra profit. Like no sprinting : )

4. Other shops that you have to compete with, and a rep system. Sometimes you'll lose customers depending on your rep.

5. Mining right now, the way I see it being made, feels a bit OP. This is how I feel like it might come out: "I can either buy the ore, and spend my money. ORRR, I can go out and mine/smelt it for no cost while I keep my shop closed".

6. I like your repair idea, maybe your hammer or Anvil gets worn down after a long time?

7. Or maybe you can repair people's weapons for them, maybe they bring in a Great Sword and you use one bar to repair it on the anvil.

8. I like the Delivery/shop idea, where you have to go out and buy the items instead of using your fancy Wall-Pad to get your stuff, Yay, walking.

9. Drinking chocolate milk currently, maybe you could work on the house, like make it so we don't phase through the back, and make it so we can actually do something with it? (the house on the hill)

10. And finally, more monsters, and make the people actually fight them in the forest. Make it so you can actually get attacked if you wander out there.

BONUS SUGGESTION~~~~

11. The last suggestion brought this to my head, and I needed to say it.~~~~

The mining area, OR areas can be put outside of town, kinda foggy but not as much as the forest is now, and could sometimes have a "monster" there, and it will attack you if you go there. You could hire a "guard" to kill/guard you so you can go mining.

Thanks Dais for making this game, and I am really loving it. Can't wait for the update, but i'd rather have a polished update than a half-fasted one : )

Suggestion: Merchants

Could be traveling merchants, with huge backpacks and swords hanging off, or with carts with weapons and stuff on top of it. All shop prices are different. Example: Cart: Sells iron bars for 950, while a traveler sells them for 900.

A suggestion that was inspired by one of the dialogs, maybe occasionally, you get an order in advance of the sale. Like a bit of paper that says they need 3 daggers in 4 days, something like that.

Also it'd nice if polite(the ones that don't say things like "SWORD NOW! Etc.") customers said Thanks or something as they left or picked up the weapon(so as not to slow down gameplay).

A couple ideas for adding difficulty, hunger(once a day, with a slowness debuff if you go so long without food), rent(untill you either buy your house, or a new one.) perhaps you risk getting robbed, unless you hire a guard(just because you make swords, doesn't mean you know how to use them). These could be tied a difficulty setting, or have individual settings.

Well that's me throwing my hat into the ring, I hope these help.

First suggestion: Unlock Web

Along with the skills/perks tab, the unlock web could be a section that allows you to chose a path you want to go down in the game. (Ex. Tinker, being able to mash up different parts on things you otherwise wouldn't be able to, alloys.)

Second suggestion: Alloys

Being able to alloy metals in the smithery or some other place and then sell that off to your customers, making a better material in worth than the number of metals that you combined, or equal in worth but just looks really cool to you. I would suggest it to be a unlockable thing in the web relative to the worth of the metals you alloy.

Third suggestion: Shop expansion

Expanding the shop would allow for you to put stuff that you wouldn't have been able to. Like if you just had the basic shop areas (The one you start with right now, or smaller) You wouldn't have the correct area to place a smeltery or a storage room for ores that you collect.

P.S., I love the game! I love games with vast customizable options throughout the game!
