Hey Blacksmith's
October - November has been tough.
All of development time has been spent trying to fix a major crash that popped up recently on my end. This came unfortunately right after I manage to fix several issues that have been plaguing the Steam build and adding a few cool new things like the dynamite for mining and purchasing furniture for your shop.
For the time bei...

I have to apologize again for the long silence. A lot has been happening in my personal life but I am still working on the game.
I've had to take a long and hard look at the state of the game and what players have been saying. Parsing through the data and looking through comments, bugs, suggestions, Steam Analytics etc.. is a process but necessary. So, there are a ...
Hey Patrons,
Just wanted to wish everyone well and to stay safe during these times. Don’t forget to wash your hands with soap more often the usual and exercise social distancing.
Cheers!

If you are a past Patron and would like a key, send me a private message on Patreon and I'll send you a key. New keys are no longer available on itch.io
Cheers!

I wanted to remind anyone who hasn't grabbed their steam key, to do so as soon as possible. It's very difficult for me to get you the key if you are no longer a Patron.

This post should help you access the key.

Hey Blacksmiths,
Finally!!! My Little Blacksmith Shop is officially on Steam. I can finally lay my tools and rest. Of course, that is far from the truth. The game is not yet downloadable and I still have a long road ahead to make sure that a beautiful, stable and optimized version of the game is available to you and the public.
Of course, none of this would have been possible ...
2019-05-09 15:38:19 +0000 UTC View PostHey Blacksmiths,
I spent some time fixing some issues that came up from the community for the past few days, to bring the game to a more stable build. The patch is now ready to be downloaded.
Also, wanted to mention that I am almost finish with the steam page. Just need some images for the store and community page and than we are cooking with fire. Should have something for y...
All the best during this Holiday Season.

If you would like to be eligible for getting any of these sweet rewards you’ll need to sign up under one of our merch tiers. If you are already under one of the (2) tiers, then you should be already setup, but double check just in case.

I wanted to take a moment out of development to update you gals and guys on whats happening with Merch stuff. As a side note, the Merch provided here are exclusive to you, my Patrons, as a huge thank you for your kindness and generosity. Without you guys, once again, this project would not have been possible. These cool items will not be available to an...

I've finally submitted the designs for the merchandise today (a day before the due date :D ) in preparation for the end of month launch date.
The two designs are:
We received the Blacksmith character designs and we would like you to be part of the process. Before you make your selection however, I wanted to explain what this is all about.
The character designs are for conceptualizing what our end product will look like for promotional material. Some of the sketches that will be presented may or may not be ...

Hope all of you had a wonderful summer.
I believe some of you Patrons have started school and I hope that out of your busy study schedules, you'll take some needed break time to play some MLBS.
;)
I wanted to bring some good news to all of you. I was able to secure a programmer to help us develop the game for a fair price. His task is to help r...
2018-09-10 19:25:47 +0000 UTC View PostJust found out yesterday that my account was accepted and granted the Charge Up Front feature. I wanted to wait for all the Patrons to process their payments before turning the feature on just in case it would cause a problem. However, the feature is in beta.
What does this mean for you?
It means nothing for the current Patrons as they will still be charged on the 1st but for new Patrons, ...
2018-06-02 19:18:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey Blacksmiths,
A patch to the development version has been deployed and is ready to be downloaded.
Really want to thank the team for coming through and making this update possible.
I will message the link for all new Patrons after the 1st of June.
If you are a current paying Patron and no longer have the link, please send me a message on Patreon and I'll get the link to you ...
2018-05-31 18:55:09 +0000 UTC View PostI wanted to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for the love, kindness and support thus far. You are fulfilling a childhood dream of mine. I still have a long ways to go but without you not of this would be possible.
As usual, I will continue to make every effort to make the game better with every iteration. My end goal is too have multiplayer and one day play with all of you.

I wanted to say Hi and Welcome to the new Patrons.
Just a quick reminder that your payments will be processed on the first of the month. Once processed, you will have access to the download key.
I always post a link on the update notes I make on Patreon, so be sure to look for those posts with that link. From there, you'll be able to grab your Itch.io download key an...

Hey Blacksmtih's,
Just wanted to give you an update on what the team and I are working on.
First off, we got 2 new recruits in our team (YAY!!) Ducky and Typhoonator over on discord. Really glad to have these guys on the team. If you see them on Discord, give them a shout!
As you can see in the GIF, I've implemented moving objects. Now, not ...
2018-02-21 00:00:39 +0000 UTC View PostHey Blacksmiths,
Although we probably have another year or less before a Steam release, my volunteer team and I wanted to get a better idea on what the community and Patrons thought about how far we've progressed and if it was enough to start an expedition towards a Steam Release or take a back seat and wait for more content updates before moving to Steam.
Please take the time to fill out ...
2018-02-06 15:38:13 +0000 UTC View PostWith that now comes my full devotion to working and finishing this game for everyone. The community has spoken and this game has the potential of being a precious gem. Thank you, everyone for being a part of this journey and I hope that you all will stick around until the very end.

Thank you to all the new Patrons who decided to give a little bit of their hard earned cash to support the project and make this happen.
I do realise that, the way Patreon does their payment system can be a little inconvenient for some of you and at the moment, unfortunately, I don't have much control over that.
Fortunately, I did get in contact with a kind sou...

I and the volunteer team wanted to take the time to wish everyone Happy Holidays and all the best for this coming year.

Hey Blacksmiths,
Today, we are releasing an early version of 0.0.9 to you all (my Patrons). There are still a lot of bugs. So please bare with use as we are working to get rid of them as fast as possible. There are also a lot of features not fully implemented yet. By next update, we should have more features implemented.
Here is the current update log.
Hey Blacksmiths,

I was hoping that I would never have to write this post but unfortunately, here I am.
I had a blast working My Little Blacksmith Shop. It had a short but good run but unfortunately, reality is, I was unable to maintain the hype. With having to juggle with real life, management and creation, things became to stressful for me to tackle alone. Unfortunately, this resulted in l...
2017-09-17 03:20:19 +0000 UTC View PostHey,
I added a new reward tier, Proficient Blacksmith, for those interested.
Note: There might be slight alterations to your design if it doesn't fit with the other weapon parts. So please take the other weapon parts into consideration when submitting your designs.. :)

I took down the dev build temporarily and will have it back up sometime later today with a new version of the game for Patrons to test.
*Update*
The build is now up on itch.io for Patrons only.
I'll admit, there aren't any new gameplay to blacksmithing in this update. I mainly was focused on trying to optimise and expand the map f...
