• New player attack animations: combat feels punchier and more impactful

• Refined monster art: a full visual polish pass for monsters

• Event system overhaul: added the “Action-Style Title System”

  • Event choices now affect your tendency score

  • Your current score determines your “title,” reflecting your overall style of conduct so far

• More event text: clearer context and stronger narrative flow for choices

• 3 new events added: more variety and surprises during exploration

• Improved audio presentation: adjusted and enhanced some SFX to better match the visuals

• Results screen: now shows the cooking ingredients obtained during this run

• New on-screen guidance: after the tutorial, prompts now guide you through village building functions

• Removed event: Guild Messenger

• Removed status: \[Blessing of the Divine Hawk]

• Forging flow fix (anti-misclick):

  • You must now select a mold before forging

  • Prevents repeated forging from defaulting to the first weapon (e.g., dagger) and causing mis-operations

• Adjusted overly harsh restaurant debuffs:

  • Reduced negative-feel effects and made cooking choices more strategic

  • Added individual ingredient effects and set meal effects for clearer build direction

• Mold effect adjustments:

  • Spear: Ignore Defense 85% adjusted to 100%

  • Dagger: effect corrected

If you run into any issues while playing, or have feedback on the new events and title system, feel free to leave a comment (screenshots/videos are welcome). We’ll keep collecting reports and improving the demo.

Thank you for your support! 💪

Path of Gear: Blacksmith’s Legend has officially surpassed 4,000 wishlists on Steam!

A huge thank you to everyone who wishlisted the game, played the demo, and shared it with friends. Your support truly keeps us going.

We’re confirmed to join Steam Next Fest this February, and we’ll be releasing a demo that’s clearly different from the current version.

This Next Fest build focuses on improving the overall quality and moment-to-moment play experience. Here’s what’s coming:

• Monster Art Improvements: More distinctive monsters, a more consistent art style, plus more monster attack animations to make combat feel punchier and more dynamic.

• Visual Improvements: Smoother, more comfortable overall visuals, improving clarity and consistency while you play.

• UI/UX Updates: Clearer information and a more intuitive flow, reducing moments like “I can’t find this,” “I don’t understand,” or “I’m not sure what to do next.”

• New Event Mechanics: We’ve revised the original event system and added new gameplay variations, so events aren’t just “pick an option and get a reward.”

• Restaurant System Balance Fix: We’ve received feedback that the restaurant system’s buff/debuff balance felt off. This update includes adjustments and fixes to improve balance!

Once the Next Fest demo is live, we’d love to hear what you think.

Whether it’s “this is awesome” or “I got stuck / this wasn’t clear,” every note helps us improve.

Please leave feedback through Steam comments or reach out via our social media—anything you share is valuable!

Finally, thank you again for supporting us along the way.

Our dev team is just 4 people, and we genuinely love interacting with players and reading your feedback and discussions. 💛
