Master Forge

TLDR: It's a complete student project, nothing too interesting. Rated up for effort but that's about it. The core gameplay loop is simple: gather resources, forge, and fulfill orders. There aren't puzzle solving involved nor any player skill required. The reputation system is pretty redundant as it doesn't seem to affect the game in any sensible way. In the early game where resources are scarce and without a furnace (for real) player could only let the reputation drop until zero, then there's no penalty. One can just spend few days farming resources and only then actually start playing the game. In this case, why not just give player a choice to close/open the store? And to be honest all of the game could be simplified into a text-based game as there aren't any mechanism that actually involves player interactions other than running around delivering stuff. I do understand this is a student project, which is delivered decently. But it is unfortunately quite boring. As the quote goes: "If this game is a spice, it would be flour".

Quick little game~ Fun, and at a fair price. FYI: There IS a tutorial ! However, its very easy to miss. All you need to do is to follow the glowing object ( which is not super bright or oblivious). And the text below will change according. Since the game is fairly easy and the developer allow you just play on your own without following it. That is why many people miss it and complain about there is no tutorial.

Is it a good game? sure. You can get a good few hours out of this game for the price of it. Even if some of the elements get a little to tedious/repetetive in the late game.
