Its been a exciting few weeks since our launch and we have been listening to our community and have added in content and QoL features that should hopefully put the game in better state. This update's main focus is adding in a true final level and achievements that reward players to put the game to it's limits in earlier levels.
Content: Level 15, featuring the city area Expert Achievements 1-15 5 New achievements Adjustments to difficulty in level 12 and 2
QoL features: - Resource Boxes (Ore and Leather) will now buffer resources and pool them, so there is no lag when picking up their resource. - Levels now have personal best scores - Achievements now play a sound when unlocked - 4K is now an option, but some assets will stay at 1080p - Ping is now shown on the top right of the screen - Leather is more of a lighter color when untanned for better clarity - Display names and lobby names are now censored accordingly
Bug Fixes: - Double pickup between two clients fixed - Crafting station bug fixed (Likely) - City and village level map bound adjustments (Will be on-going) - The tutorial books in L9 and L2 have been adjusted to reduce confusion
What's next? In the next few weeks, we will entirely focus on only bug fixes, QoL updates, and hats.
Sensitivity Adjustments
Tinfoil here,
Common feedback on the game's options focuses on the mouse and its jankiness.
Mouse sensitivity can now be inverted. However, for those who have adjusted their sensitivity, this may invert their sensitivity when starting the game update. The recommended starting setting is 25, 25 on x and y sensitivity.
We have also made the vertical and horizontal sensitivity more similar. As vertical was vastly stronger than horizontal before.
v1.02 Hotfixes
Tinfoil here
Here are some updates
- Less frequent occurrences of orders not spawning in when completing a round of orders - City area bounding improvements. Reducing the chance of items falling through the floor - Lobbies list auto-refresh - Tutorial is now required to play the game - Guildmaster Achievement fixed - Name field fixes

Smithworks Official Release!
Hey Kenny here, aka Tinfoil
We are all excited to release this game to everyone and we hope that you all enjoy it as much as we do. In this release post, I will talk about where the game is at right now and where it will be in the future.
This game was made by us college students and may not have all the modern features you may expect. For this reason and many others, we chose that this game and experience is free for everyone to enjoy. We all in this team grew up playing and making memories with our friends and we hope that we can also provide that to our players.
When it comes to what comes next, we do not expect to continue working on this game far into the future. Updates will come focused on fixing bugs and adding a bit more cosmetics and achievements. But after a few months, we will consider this game as completed. That being said, if there are any bugs, please join our discord at discord.gg/FBDMWKXEnx to report them.
Known Issues/Bugs:
Issues with the game is multiplayer focused. Since this was the first multiplayer game the team created, there are edge case issues that may occur when doing actions at the same time for players. We also have lobby related issues when it comes to joining and disconnecting is odd times. Finally, there are issues with teleporters in some edge cases. For the most part, these issues rare and is easily solved by restarting the game.
