The next official Update for Blacksmith will be The Farms Update.

- A whole new farming system. You will be able to Trade with Farmer Eric to gain access to a very simple farming game. Once you have the right seeds and blueprints, you will be able to plant Crops on a small grid. These crops will produce meals, which provide bonuses for the Heroes and Townsfolk.

For example: A Potato will produce the meal ‘Potato’, which heals Heroes each day and can be bought by the Blacksmith at the Inn. Start growing a Leak, and now you will have access to ‘Leak and Potato Soup’, which is far more powerful.

I’m really excited about this new feature. This is going to be in place of an XP based levelling system.

- With all this new food, the Heroes of Ironwell will be much stronger, so we’re adding a couple more Dungeons and Enemies to the mix.
- Also a couple new Buildings, Heroes, Townsfolk and Weapons each, with a couple dialogues and cutscenes to go with them.
- As always I will be addressing bugs and fixes as I see them and responding to community input.


Hotfix today includes:
- Bugs, balancing and improvements.
- A new Book telling the story of the Blacksmith.
- Clients will now automatically Chat when you talk to them.
- An explanation for in-game hangovers.


So forge on, Blacksmith! Keep your weapons sharp for the incoming new content!

Cheers,
Otis and Maly
