In this hotfix, we addressed a critical bug related to the woodcutting system that was causing major issues in the game. This bug reset all ores collected by workers and led to the game becoming stuck. To fix this, we have now prevented woodcutting below a certain minimum threshold, ensuring that this problem no longer occurs. We would like to thank the players who reported this issue to us.

Note: Players who have encountered the inventory reset issue can manually fix it by cutting their wood stacks into two. This will trigger an internal inventory update and stabilize the system.

May your blades be ever sharp!

With this hotfix, we are now setting the customer class-based sales system — which we introduced in version 1.6.0 — to be disabled by default.

Our initial goal with this feature was to reward blacksmiths who produce different types of weapons and to provide an incentive for doing so. However, we realized that especially in the early stages of the game, this system proved to be quite challenging. Many of our new — and even some veteran — players expressed dissatisfaction with it. That’s why we are making this feature optional with this update. With this adjustment, customer purchases will now be determined solely by the sale chance.

We sincerely thank all the players who gave us feedback and alerted us to this issue.

That said, players who do enjoy this more demanding sales system and prefer a game experience that emphasizes management alongside simulation can still enable the feature. Just go to the Settings menu and activate the Picky Customers setting!

Alongside this change, we’ve made a few other small tweaks in the game, which you can find below. Thanks again to everyone who reported these issues!

• The “Stop Hammering” label on the assembly desk has been replaced with a more descriptive message.
• Cursor color changed from green to yellow.
• General scene lighting has been improved.
• The cutting area for the large chisel on the lathe has been improved.
• Some localization updates for German, Spanish, and Japanese languages. (Thank you to everyone who reported translation issues!)
• Fixed some lighting issues in the blacksmith shop.

May your hammer stay strong!

We’re excited to announce that Medieval Blacksmith has officially left Early Access and is now in full release!

It’s been almost a year since we launched the very first version of the game. During this time, we’ve met many talented blacksmiths. With your ideas burning bright like a forge, your feedback blowing like bellows, your bug reports sharpening the experience like grindstones, and your powerful critiques striking like hammers — you’ve all contributed to crafting this game step by step. We’re deeply grateful for the inspiration, support, and feedback you’ve given us along the way!

To be honest, our initial plan was to create a shorter experience — maybe 7–8 hours. But thanks to your feedback, the world of the game gradually expanded, the systems became deeper, and eventually, Medieval Blacksmith became something that makes us truly happy — and honestly, it still surprises us how far it's come. We know that without the support, guidance, and inspiration from our players on both our Discord channel and Steam, we wouldn’t have been able to complete this journey. We sincerely thank you once again for all the support you've given us.


In this update, we’ve brought the version we stabilized on the Test Branch into the main release.

• Tons of new content, quests, and improvements

• Enhanced user experience

• Performance optimizations

• New weapon parts

• New customer types
… and much more is now available in the main version!

You can find the full changelog here:

While this is our full release, we don’t see it as the end. Medieval Blacksmith will continue to evolve — just at a slower, more balanced pace. We’re still open to feedback and we’ll continue listening closely.

If you have ideas, feature suggestions, or run into any issues, feel free to reach out. We built this game together — and we can keep shaping it, together.


To everyone who’s been a part of this journey — thank you once again. Medieval Blacksmith isn’t just a game to us; it’s a living experience, shaped by its community.

The iron is still hot — and we’re not done hammering.

Until the next hammer falls,

The Medieval Blacksmith Dev Team

We’re thrilled to announce that we’re finally wrapping up the stabilization of the latest update for Medieval Blacksmith that’s been live on the Test Branch. This means we’re just around the corner from pushing this version to the main branch—and with it, Medieval Blacksmith will officially complete its Early Access journey!

Before we move forward, there’s something very important we want to highlight to make sure your progress stays safe.

If you're playing a version older than 1.6.0, your save files will be deleted when the full version goes live on April 14, 2025. To avoid losing your progress, please switch to the branch named "old_version".

"To access the old version branch, right-click on Medieval Blacksmith in your Steam library and select Properties. In the window that opens, go to the Betas tab and select the appropriate beta branch to enable the old version."

If you're already on version 1.6.0, you’re all good!👍 Just stay on the Test Branch until the update officially launches on April 14th, and then you’ll be able to transition smoothly to the main branch without any issues.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Your feedback, patience, and support have been invaluable in shaping the game into what it is today.

The forge is almost ready! 🔨🔥

Our work on adjusting the Beta Test Branch continues. This hotfix primarily eases the economic difficulty slightly while also addressing various bug fixes. A huge thank you to all our players who support us with their valuable feedback!


The first change we made to the economy system was adjusting the Low Interest Penalty values for customers. While this value didn’t cause much difficulty in the mid-to-late game, it made early sales significantly harder. To address this, we reduced the Low Interest Penalty to ensure blacksmiths have a smoother start in the game.


We have also rebalanced the spawn rates of ores in the mines. Now, at least one of each ore type is guaranteed to spawn. The spawn chance of alloy ores has been reduced, while the spawn rates of basic ores have been increased. This change aims to promote efficient mining while also encouraging blacksmiths to create alloys in their shops.



A big thank you to all players who report bugs and issues via Steam and Discord channel! Below, you can find other fixes included in this update:

• Fixed an issue where the amount of ore in a bucket could drop to negative values.

• Fixed an issue where customers appeared with different outfits the next day after making a deal.

• Adjusted the prices of Blood Rings.

• Weapon Inspect Menu now displays quality values with two decimal places.

• Fixed an issue where players would fall into the void after being evicted from the Guest House.

• The fire sound near the large gate in Nurenor Pass has been removed.

• Fixed issues related to weapons receiving God Craft grade.

• Fixed functional bugs where some values in the Blade Bar and weapon prices were incorrectly displayed as negative.

• Fixed a bug affecting weapon quality calculations.

Thank you all for your continued support and feedback! Your contributions help us make the game better every day.

See you in the forge!
