Hello Blacksmith!
Our fourth patch IS a big one!
First thing first: WE NOW SUPPORT HTC VIVE! You will now be able to become the greatest Vive Blacksmith ever!
Besides that, this patch focused on maximizing the coziness. So walk outside to the backyard, smell the flowers, and gaze out into the vast world of BlackForge. Be aware of your surroundings and you might see one of the many wild animals roaming around.
Multiple bugs have been worked on alongside working on clarity for certain tools and visuals.
If you happen to run into any issues after installing this latest patch, please contact [email protected] and submit a full bug report to help us solve your issue. Thank you for playing BlackForge: A Smithing Adventure!
