We are very happy to announce the Update-Notes of MASTER FORGE and therefore everything what has been changed with version 1.0 which is truly our biggest update.

Of course we know that we are far too late with this update.
Unfortunately, our plans were thwarted by exams during our studies.
Because yes: we are still computer science students and do this as our hobby.
Nevertheless, we are proud to finally bring our passion project to an end.

In fact, we have implemented everything we promised with the roadmap.
Unfortunately, a little later than expected. In addition, with the new customer "Herald", we have brought a feature into the game that was never planned.
Master Forge is being supplemented with a lot of content with the new herald, which finally gives the upgrade table and the gold mine a purpose.
Master Forge should offer about 3 to 8 hours of playtime now. I hope you like it.

Everything what Update 1.0 includes:
New Special Customer: The royal herald appears in the game shortly after the gold mine has been unlocked. This new main customer will bring Master Forge to a well-deserved end.
New Book: A monster encyclopedia tells the blacksmith which weapons will help the herald
New Product: A new wooden hammer called "Mallet" is now in the game
