Hello blacksmiths,
I'm glad to announce that version 0.9.1 is now live. BSL has gone through a complete overhaul and from now on, all versions prior to this one will be considered as legacy.
Things to know before the buy or download
-
This version contains 3-4 hours of content and features that include management of workshop and hero adventures. Expect some bugs but overall I think it's better than the previous version. I will still keep the legacy version for people who might enjoy it more, however there will be no updates on it anymore.
(For legacy version, right click on the game in your library -> properties -> betas -> select 'legacy') -
Legacy version took me ~2 years to create. This one took me 7 months, so some features are not there yet and some are changed (for detailed overview check roadmap which is also on steam page - about us section).
-
This version is in it's final shape in terms of graphics and UI and finishing it will take me roughly 1-2 years (depending on the support). The reason why I've released it now is that I don't have analytics team behind my ass and rely solely on the feedback from players.
-
Blacksmith legends is my hobby project, I'm working on it in my own free time alone and it's a marathon, not a sprint. There is no magical fairy or some rich daddy that magically pops out to throw in some extra $$$. Support of every player is extremely appreciated and valued. The best thing you can do for this project is help me test it and report the bugs or balance issues.
-
Steam achievements will be removed. Since they are quite time consuming and just cosmetics, I've decided to deactivate this feature. The game displays it's own 'achievement' sort of system that gives player rewards. I may add this later in the future but it is not planned at the moment.
-
Steam cloud saves will refer to the new build, so if there is some collision with legacy saves, you should be careful and back the legacy saves into the new app data path:
"C:\Users\$yourName\AppData\LocalLow\VM gaming ltd\BlacksmithLegends'
Game was tested for a couple of months and I'm very thankful for the help of my publisher testers and 'Ashmode' + 'Coolighost'. Without them, it would be in a way way worse shape.
You can always report your feedback on forums or on my discord server here,
Thank you for your support and best of luck to all of you. Enjoy!
