All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray, new seasons added!
Greetings to all you gifted blacksmiths!
We hope you're loving the Early Access release of Anvil Saga. Our team is still working hard on the game and we have a few new updates to share with you.
Firstly, we've added the two remaining seasons, Fall and Winter. And there are eight new modifiers to diversify your gaming experience.
One of the modifiers is Halloween, the scariest night of the year! During this time, the Witches in Anvil Saga will visit the forge more than any other customers. There's a very good opportunity to become friends with the Witches, and the prices of their orders will go up. On the other hand, the monks would prefer to lay low, so don’t expect them to come often.
Beware of the blizzard during Winter. It will take much longer for the courier to reach the forge because of the thick snow on the roads. You'll need to order the right items in advance and in bulks to avoid delays. And the bad weather will not only push up prices on orders, but will make folks mostly stay at home.
Modifiers will not only change the visuals in Anvil Saga, but also will force you to be clever and creative in solving complex business problems.
In addition to the Blizzard and Halloween, we've added these six modifiers as well:
Beaujolais Day;
Foliage Cleaning;
Christmas;
Eclipse;
Frosty Snowmen;
Valentine's Day.
We have also updated the sun and moon, which are now more picturesque.
Please keep on letting us know what you think of Anvil Saga! Every bit of feedback helps us make the game possible. Join our Discord to stay in touch.

Update 0.5 is out!
Greetings to all the gifted blacksmiths!
The latest update for Anvil Saga is now available and ready for download! We've added the content that we promised you in the roadmap, along with changes based on comments from the community. Here's what's in store for you. New added content:
The Fair – the finale of the first chapter.
New complex orders for customers.
New side quests.
12 new perks for the forge workers.
Improvements and fixes:
Changed the scale of the highlighted worker icon. Previously, it was smaller than other icons, and is now larger than them.
The number of available workers is now displayed on the hiring screen.
Added a display for raw materials that are still required for an order above the corresponding workbench. For example, if you run out of ingots or ore, a crossed out icon with the resource will always hang above the anvil, with ore above the furnace, and so on.
Added the ability to switch between workers in the equipment interface.
Added the ability to move furniture between rooms.
Tuned up the mechanics of orders and reputation:
Orders that require a book to study will only appear from the second level of the counter.
If a representative of one faction comes to you, and you are already working on an order from their opposition, the new customer does not leave before he gets in line. You have the option to choose which faction's order to fulfill.
Fulfilling orders from peasants does not affect reputation.
Reputation from the warriors reduced to 1.
Revised the prices of orders for different types of customers.
Possible workers will now include characters with a different appearance to those the player already has.
Other:
Removed the ingot smelting from the tutorial.
Installed the dynamic price of rooms – first cheaper, then more expensive.
You can now see the second customer without the camera moving in the tutorial.
Please note that the beta-branch is now closed. Thank you all for testing!
Launch Steam to update the game to the latest version. We look forward to seeing you in Steam Discussions and on our Discord. Feel free to ask us questions, leave comments, and let us know what you think of Anvil Saga.

Anvil Saga 0.5 Update Coming Soon
Greetings to all the gifted blacksmiths!
Thank you for all the love and support. We are excited to announce that a new content update for the game is just around the corner!
Here's a little teaser of what's in store for you.
There will be some unusual customers pounding the forge's door. Do you recognize any of them? We wonder what they'll order...
Arthur will have the opportunity to help a variety of new heroes, all of whom are in desperate need of the blacksmith's skills.
While you might be star-struck by some of the new characters, for them, meeting Arthur could be a life-changing and inspiring experience! However, not all of them have noble intentions...
In addition to the new characters, we're also working on implementing the following changes to Anvil Saga:
The fair, the finale of the first chapter, where Arthur will have a blacksmith duel with Jean-Jacques.
New perks for workers.
Improving the interfaces for equipment, construction, and recruitment.
Adding icons to reflect the absence of raw materials above workbenches.
The ability to switch between workers in the outfit window.

Latest Hotfix Reverted!
Greetings to all the gifted blacksmiths!
As it turned out, the latest hotfix was too hot. As a result, there was one bug that could block your progress, namely sometimes a day would not end. We are reverting the game to the previous build which has no known blockers, although some previous minor bugs will stay unfixed for now. We will test the current build again, hotfix the hotfix, and roll it back out soon!
MPORTANT: The reversion may result in incompatible save files. We will try to fix this problem in the future updates. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Regards, Anvil Saga Team
