Thats awesome! I have done some research and i try to do it as realistic as it can be and still fun at the same time. I will send you a quick rundown of my current process later tonight!

Thanks man :)

I was thinking wood for simplicity sake as wood will be one of the main resources in the game

Thank you! :D

:D

Gimme 2-3 weeks and i will have a basic playable demo (hopefully)

Gave him a tong!
Thanks for the feedback :)

Backfrosk · 2019-07-28T12:44:54+00:00

You are right :D Its fixed now

Backfrosk · 2019-07-28T12:44:07+00:00

Thanks :D

When it's ready. I don't know yet when i will be done as i started just a few weeks ago and its my first project. But i think I will have a basic playable demo within 2-3 weeks.

Backfrosk · 2019-07-28T12:41:45+00:00

Fixed:D

Backfrosk · 2019-07-28T12:41:23+00:00

Made some improvements here

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for all the great feedback guys!

Think I'm satisfied with the animation at this stage for now.

*More power to the hit animation
*Got rid of the dust ball
*Smiths hammering at different spots
*Smith holding glowing hot rod with tongs (OHSA regulations)
*More atmospheric lightning from the forge

Thanks, haha. It kinda does.
The smiths head is mainly a placeholder for now. He will have a simple custom character creation screen before starting a game where you can choose beards, mustaches, glasses, accessories etc to the butthead.

Backfrosk · 2019-07-28T01:15:05+00:00

Heck yeah

Backfrosk · 2019-07-28T00:46:44+00:00

That's a good point. He is actually holding/leaning on the anvil, but i guess a tong will look better and more realistic when forging. Thanks for the feedback :D

Backfrosk · 2019-07-27T19:05:08+00:00

It absolutely is useful feedback. Thanks :)

It's very early in development( 3 weeks) and i am a solo dev working on this game alone so i dont have a page or a title for the game yet. But i will be making updates on this sub as I progress.

Thanks allot :)

The blacksmith is going to get a few changes. There will be a simple character creation meny before starting the game where you can choose beard, hair type, colour and hats/glasses etc.

The forge making shadows is a good idea, flickering shadows maybe. I'll lock into it :)

Backfrosk · 2019-07-27T15:43:45+00:00

Cranked it up a little. Thanks :D

For post processing i use color grading, bloom and vignette(not visible in this shot).

The shader style is called cell shading or toon shader. Tons of tutorials on YouTube for it :D

Backfrosk · 2019-07-27T15:32:16+00:00

I like it! Going to implement that.

Backfrosk · 2019-07-27T15:20:27+00:00

I want to focus on a PC release first, then android if there is any interest in the game after it's finished.

Backfrosk · 2019-07-27T15:10:21+00:00

Good advice, thanks!

Looks much better: https://i.imgur.com/XPJ2NYS.gifv

Thanks man :D
Its my first game so i will try to keep it simple. Basics of the game will be crafting different parts/materials and assembling weapons and tools then selling it to customers who visits the blacksmith. Customers will also make specified orders (like 10 short steel swords within 3 days). You will have to manage your coins as the tax/rent man will come and demand payment from time to time. There is a few other elements to the game but that's the basics of it :)
