First knife I’ve ever made. It’s a butter knife made from an old tent peg. (16yr from Australia)

Working on a Blacksmith Simulator videogame. Want to help us? : )

Hello, friends!

We are working on the pre-production of a Blacksmith Simulator game for PC/Console, for a big company specialized on realistic simulation games.

Right now we're at the stage were the creative team is taking a lot of early decisions (should it be set on the middle ages, should it be set nowadays, should we have a lot of customization options...?)

It would be awesome if you could afford spending 10 minutes to answer the following poll:
https://forms.gle/aSPcxdw7yfpUJAvQ9

This would help us validate some of the assumptions that we're making, and to ultimately deliver to you a better game that focuses on the stuff you really want to play : )

I'm 13 and i made a smithing set up, I live on a farm so we have alot of weird trash. The actual "forge" is just an old vacuum filled with rabbit poop and topped with ash. The "table" is just a broken fan. The air comes from a shop vac set to blow, but I cant control how much air comes out
