    Wow, I really love the art style, especially the faces. The interactive inventory system seems very innovative too, nice to see the benefits of VR being embraced in all aspects of the game. Would be nice to see some more info about the game- when are you planning to release? Are there any aspects that really set it apart from other survival games? Will the blacksmithing mechanic allow me to indulge in my dreams of smashing hot metal with a hammer?

    Hi! Thanks for the kind words! No release date yet, but our Discord will be the first to know. (discord.gg/townshiptale) The unique survival aspect of A Township Tale comes from the role specialization, that encourages players to function like a town. With each requiring resources and opening up different paths for the town as a whole. The game is also primarily co-operative, as opposed to many other survival games. And lastly, your dreams are already indulged.

    My word that is a thing of beauty. I'd be a bit concerned about the proximity of my hand to the hammer here though :S

    Looks great! Would love to hear more about the planned crafting systems and how that will work.
    The only thing i dislike are the red noses, they are really distracting imo : /

    We have been experimenting with color correction in A Township Tale, here are some results:

    The crafting system looks great! I did a similar thing as a test a while a go and this type of crafting is a lot of fun : )
    Is it possible to actually fail or do you just have to hit it all over and it will eventually be ready once you "ticked" all the points? Would love to see a system that requires some actual skill to use and where you can actually ruin the piece by hitting it to much and the quality is dependent on how close you managed to get the blade to the "ideal" shape. By making it more "irl" skill based crafting would be more of a profession that you have to invest time in to become a master craftsman. Its a bit hard to know the details from the blog post, but i like the look so far (except for the "comical" noses : p)!

    I am trying to figure out why I am not getting notified, when messages get posted there.

    On another note, we have very secret pre-alpha going on, if would like to check the latest build just join our discord channel - https://discord.gg/townshiptale

    Update 0.0.6.0 is out.

    Haha, you know what time it is. Time for an update. This is the long awaited update, where we let you create handles. This Chiseling process is one of the first steps of Carpentry, we'd love to hear your feedback on it, since we're trying something a bit different with this one. Eventually, there will be other ways to manipulate timber, but that will relate more closely with features that aren't in the game yet. Aside from that, we are currently working on player optimizations. Here are the notes, enjoy!

    How do quality work with blacksmithing? I assume there has to be some way of being a better blacksmith than some other person and being able to make better weapons?

    It depends on material type, your hitting accuracy and the quality of the tool used.

    Awesome A Township Tale, by one of our community members - cookingsoup

    " Day 1: I wake up in a clearing beside a glowing rock. I pick up some sticks and stones before heading down the path. Over a bridge and through a field, I see a town in the distance. As I approach, I notice the town is quiet... except for a colourful dodo bird happily foraging the streets. I take a seat on the ground, and motion for the dodo to come over and it does. After some quick pets, I get up to continue exploring. I look back to say goodbye to my new friend, and am startled to see him in predator mode and coming right at me. I pull a stick from my belt and begin to fight back. I swing and land a few good hits, but it's not enough to fell this fowl. Vision flashes red as I'm getting pecked at and scratched. The world fades grey... "
