Lightsmith

WHAT HO! Picked this up after watching Viking Blonde play through the first bit. I love where this game is headed. The diminishing light radius is such a smooth way to fit the day cycle into a game. It creates actual tension (Will I get home or get lost?) without the arbitrary "You fell asleep on your front porch again" annoyance. Looking forward to seeing how it polishes up as the rest of the game gets done.

I was gifted Lightsmith by a friend on my birthday, and I was immediately drawn in by the concept of the game. The game's backstory is original & ambitious, giving you a sense of purpose right from the start, which I love. While not having any combat involved, I thought maybe I wouldn't feel any kind of drive or intensity during my gameplay, but the fact that you have to restore the light, all while not running out of light yourself (the lower your meter gets, the darker it gets, making it harder to find your way back home) makes that intensity just as strong! I'm a huge fan of survival crafting, and this game hits a ton of checkmarks that constitute a great game in my book. Although I have not played since the latest updates & fixes were implemented, I can safely say that this is a game I will see through it's development & play through to the end once it is fully released!

Lightsmith draws you in with its intriguing storyline, giving you purpose and direction while also fulfilling those adventuring/gathering/crafting urges that we all know and love. One of my favourite things about this game is how dedicated and proactive the dev team are, always working to improve the game in any way they can and taking a genuine interest in feedback/suggestions. They've even included some nifty little Easter eggs throughout Lightsmith which pay special tribute to people that have been involved in the development and evolution of the game, which I think is a beautiful touch, and I really look forward to finding more of these as I continue my journey to restore light to Gloomsdale.

its cool but im kinda stuck

Forging light in a sleepy little town. Its good fun

A great game with an interesting and unique story! LightSmith has you rebuilding a town thrown into darkness, it has so much heart put into it! The game let's you figure everything out by yourself, perfect for people who want to play their own way With constant updates, responsive devs, and a clear example of improvements over the last few versions - I recommend picking this game up and watching it's development!
