Blacksmith Master Roadmap: What's Coming Next?

Blacksmith Master roadmap is heating up, bringing epic new features to the medieval management game on Linux, Steam Deck, Mac, and Windows PC. Thanks to Untitled Studio’s immersive nonstop creativity. Which you can find on both Steam and Humble Store with its 82% Very Positive reviews.

If you’ve been hammering away in Blacksmith Master, the fresh medieval management sim from Untitled Studios, you’re in for more. Hooded Horse just released the first part of the Blacksmith Master roadmap, and let’s just say… things are about to get epic. Whether you’re crafting pristine swords or accidentally setting the forge on fire (again), there’s never been a better time to be the boss of your own medieval workshop.

The game hit early access last month on Steam (and yes, it’s Linux and Steam Deck  friendly out of the box – no Proton workarounds needed). And already we’ve had four updates. Now? The devs are setting their sights higher in the Blacksmith Master roadmap. Right from printing your own coins due to building weapons that could flatten a castle.

What’s Already Landed

Last week’s Update #5 was the first taste of what’s coming. The community asked, and Untitled Studios listened:

Two brand-new furnaces that let 2–4 smiths work together like a well-oiled (and slightly sweaty) machine.

No more bottlenecks – shared ore and ingot storage keeps production flowing

Smaller ingot racks for better space management in your busy workshop

FPS boosts for those of us pushing our rigs to the limit with overdecorated smithies

A tweaked mastery tree that slows down the late-game grind (finally)

Fixes galore: assistant AI, save file chaos, Mac scrolling issues… it's all tighter now

That was just the Blacksmith Master warm-up for this roadmap.

Coming Soon: Coin Minting & Staff Upgrades

Next up, we’re getting a brand-new production chain: coin minting. Take your copper, silver, or gold ingots and turn them into glorious royal currency. Perfect for adding prestige—or just flexing your wealth.

But wait, there’s more. Staff management is getting a serious overhaul. You’ll soon have more control over your crew — tweaking their loadouts, optimizing their roles, and basically turning them into the medieval dream team. Think of it as RPG-style squad micromanagement, but with more soot and fewer goblins.

The Blacksmith Master roadmap progresses.

Here’s where things go full metal. The Siege Workshop is coming. And with it? Massive, multi-stage war machines. Not just fancy furniture or elegant blades anymore — we’re talking about castle-cracking siege engines. Ballistas. Catapults. Things that go BOOM. You’ll need tons of materials, expert planning, and nerves of steel to build these monsters. But the kingdom needs you, blacksmith—and you don’t say no to the crown.

Blacksmith Master - Launch Trailer (before the Roadmap)

What’s Next?

This is just Part 1 of what’s ahead in the Blacksmith Master roadmap. More quality-of-life updates are coming soon, based on even more community feedback. The devs are clearly in it for the long 12 month haul, and they’re due to build something truly epic here.

So if you haven’t jumped in yet, now’s the time. Blacksmith Master medieval management is out in early access on Steam and Humble Store for $19.99 USD / £17.99 / €19.99. And yes, it runs smooth as butter on Linux, as well as Steam Deck, with Mac and Windows PC.

Sharpen your tools, prep the forge, and get ready to mint, manage, and maybe even blow up a few castles. The golden age of blacksmithing has only just begun.

Steam Next Fest (June 2024): My personal favourites

As usual, I have been trying to play too many demos and also, as usual, I have found a lot of possible “gems” among the demos. I do not think I will have enough time to write much about all of them, so I am instead focusing on the ones I liked best. I am not going in-depth about the games with their features, etc. as I want to share my thoughts when playing the games. There are six games, after…

[absolutelynotsanebaby]

I’m constantly thinking about how Cole is such a balanced mix of his parents. Obviously the first thing is that he looks like both of his parents (resembling Lou earlier in the show and then post-redesign more like Lilly, which is fun if you interpret it as him growing into his mothers features) but it goes past that right into his themes, fighting style, and morals especially.

So, his true potential episode has him lying to his dad and planning to steal the fangblade/blade cup. Everyone kinda knows this as the accidental coming out allegory but it’s VERY compelling to look at Lou’s reaction as him not even really being mad about Cole being a ninja. He seemed angry and disappointed in the fact that Cole wasn’t who he thought he was, in the sense of him not actually wanting to follow Lou’s footsteps and the fact that he was stealing the blade-cup. Lou specifically says these two lines; “I can’t be proud of any son who thinks stealing is right. And I’m not going to wait around to watch you make a mockery of our family’s legacy!” And then after their performance “more importantly I saw you fight. Those serpentine were up to no good, trying to steal the show, and I saw you stand up for what is right!”

(<- direct quotes are taken from this post by razzle-zazzle, which you should read btw, inspired me to finally write these thoughts down.)

(Also it’s worth noting Cole also denounces stealing later lmao, as seen in here.)

This is pretty direct proof that he values doing the right thing, and distinctly doing things the right way (<— also a trait cole VERY much shares). Which is something he did have to relearn and adjust upon understanding his son not doing exactly what he wants doesn’t have to be bad (self promo but this post goes into how Lou’s mindset affected Cole’s btw). The second statement is also very reminiscent of what Lilly says to Cole in MOTM, the “promise me you’ll always stand up for what is right” talk. To tie this together basically while MOTM is a very clear and thorough look at how Cole takes after Lilly, Lou is very present in his moral system too. Additionally, Lou is an incredibly passionate man, and clearly expresses and puts himself into dancing which very much mirrors how Cole treats being a ninja sometimes, and his arc about finding himself.

That segways nicely into the fact that Cole’s fighting style is ABSOLUTELY a mix of the strength and power of his mother, and the gracefulness of his father. You actually see Cole denounce his father’s grace by the way, way early before his true potential moment. He seemed insecure about it, which is certainly some kind of toxic masculinity thing because his younger self did not feel like that.

See, Way Of The Departed;

It compliments his arc about learning who he is, and becoming softer because of it really well. He doesn’t have to be insecure about his dad being elegant, because that isn’t a bad thing. He can learn to love dancing in his own way to, in a way that’s safe and his. He can incorporate it into how he fights, and this is something pointed out by @/razzle-zazzle but the tripple tiger sashay resembles an attack too.

Basically, Cole is both his parent’s child, and they equally influence the person he’s become, but he’s not just an arbitrary mix either. He takes the legacies of both and molds them into his own, for the better. He finds balance! It was always about balance with him.

Hypothetical Outline for a Flash Show

More specifically, this is the basics for how the Rogues would be introduced over the course of the show.

1. The original team would be Captain Cold, Captain Boomerang Sr., The Top, Heat Wave, Mirror Master I (Sam Scudder), the Trickster (James Jesse), Pied Piper, and Weather Wizard, all of whom are enemies of the Flash (Barry Allen). I would probably begin this theoretical adaptation with the group already existing, but having them appear and then team up over the theoretical first season of a show would work too. The main change I would make from the original comics would be to have the Trickster and the Pied Piper explicitly be the youngest and shown or stated to be the last to join the group. This change would be primarily to accommodate the fact that, Post-Crisis, and especially after Mark Waid started writing the book, the Pied Piper was generally depicted in a way that suggested that he (and, by extension, the Trickster) weren't that much older than Wally (even though they were adults while he was still a kid Pre-Crisis). Maybe they even join the Rogues in the same episode where Wally becomes Kid Flash.

2. The Top dies towards/at the end of Season 1. (I'd like to have it cap off the season, but I feel like the season finale might need to be saved for Professor Zoom the Reverse-Flash).

3. At the start of Season 2, the Golden Glider would join the group to avenge Roscoe's death, either after a period of working alone (as per the comics) or immediately. I would also want to see her working with the Top's ghost at some point, but when that would happen and whether that would be with the Rogues or separately would depend on what would best suit the needs of the story. Regardless of whether or not he rejoins the Rogues, however, the Top's ghost would return around the midway point of Season 2.

3. Heat Wave would reform at some point during Season 2. Whether or not he stays reformed for the rest of the show will depend on the needs of the story. I'd like him to stay reformed, but I also know that he's got a major role in Geoff Johns' run as a villain, and I think people would be disappointed if he wasn't in the theoretical adaptation of those stories.

4. The first Mirror Master, Sam Scudder dies/disappears/retires. This would be a fairly significant plot point in the episode where it happens; his "rocks fall, everyone dies" death from Crisis was kind of dumb. It should probably happen in conjunction with Barry's own death/disappearance/retirement, which would happen at the end of Season 2.

5. In response to Barry's death/disappearance/retirement, Wally becomes the new Flash and the Pied Piper and the Trickster reform (and will stay reformed!). This could be shown happening at the end of Season 2, or it could already be the status quo after the time jump. Regardless, Season 3 would begin a year or two after the end of the second season.

6. Evan McCulloch, a Scottish hitman, is given Sam's old technology and costume by some shady businesspeople/government guys. In the comics, he was hired to kill Animal Man, so maybe he does that and Animal Man is a guest star for a few episodes, or maybe he's hired to kill the Flash. At any rate, he balks at being told to kill the hero's wife and/or children, helps the hero capture his former employers, and then disappears before he can be captured himself. A few episodes later, Weather Wizard meets him in a bar and invites him to join the group. If Sam is retired rather than dead or missing, he's probably going to take offense to this, and might even get back into costume as a response.

7. Towards the end of Season 3, we'd start to get teases of Blacksmith and her Rogues (who need a different name), and, at the start of Season 4, the group would appear as a full team....which would include Axel Walker, a punk who stole James Jesse's gear. It would also include Weather Wizard and Evan McCulloch, who have left the original Rogues (the former because he has a crush on Blacksmith and the latter because Blacksmith pays better). Cue a turf war between Captain Cold's Rogues and Blacksmith's Rogues, with Wally and his allies (including James and the Pied Piper, and possibly Heat Wave if he's still reformed) stuck in the middle.

8. Blacksmith's Rogues end up killing Captain Boomerang, Sr. during the turf war.

9. Ultimately, Weather Wizard and McCulloch would start to miss their old allies (and are starting to feel uncomfortable with the level of villainy Blacksmith is willing to sink to in order to win) and will defect back, ultimately allowing Wally to defeat all of the Rogues. Axel, who defected with Weather Wizard and McCulloch, joins the Rogues proper. All of this would occur at the end of Season 4.

10. Owen would appear as the new Captain Boomerang at the beginning of Season 5 (assuming this hypothetical show lasts that long).

Hi! 👋

So what’s the difference between the comic version Rogues and the Arrowverse Rogues? I haven’t watched any live action stuff about them but I would still like to know the difference between these two. (Backstory and personality-wise, but you can add other stuff if you really want to)

Thank you!!! And have a good day/night :)

Hi! It's been a few years since I've watched those shows, but here's as best as I remember it.

Len: The Snarts had their comics backstory of a violently abusive ex-cop dad, and Len raised Lisa after their father went to prison. As an adult, he tended to work with Mick and Lisa in criminal activities, but was still protective of his sister and he killed their father after dad had risked her life as part of a criminal scheme. He continued in crime, but developed a working relationship with Barry and they eventually came to an agreement in which Len could commit crimes as long as he didn't kill anyone or tell anyone about Barry's identity. He was later recruited into the Legends of Tomorrow and came to relish heroic work, which ultimately led to conflicts with Mick, and Len then sacrificed his life to save the Legends and defeat the Big Bad. He had a lot of similarities to comics Len, although more of an interest in heroism, and had a closer and even flirty relationship with Barry.

Lisa: The Snarts had their comics backstory of a violently abusive ex-cop dad, and Len raised Lisa after their father went to prison. As adults, they worked together in crime and kidnapped Cisco to build weaponry for them, which they used to attack a crime boss and commit general shenanigans. However, Lisa flirted with Cisco and he had a thing for her, and she came to Team Flash for help when she thought Len had been kidnapped. It turned out that Len was on a job with their father because dad had secretly implanted a bomb in Lisa; Team Flash got the bomb out and Len killed their father for the cruelty he'd inflicted on her. After that, she was generally involved in crime with her brother until he joined the Legends of Tomorrow and was killed, but we don't know much about her activities after that. Personality-wise, she was very flirty but extremely tough and a bit of an action junkie, so pretty similar to comics Lisa. No skates or jewel weapons, though.

Mick: He had the most development and most airtime of all the Flarrowverse Rogues, and thus unsurprisingly the biggest character arc. He began as a one-note raging villain, and later received a little more depth but had an in-universe reputation for being stupid, violent, and thoughtless. Even his best pal Len treated him like he was stupid, sometimes quite overtly. Over time we learned that he had a lot of past trauma (his father was a traumatized and abusive Vietnam vet), and he formed bonds with new caring people and was able to show his depth: still grumpy, but intelligent and with surprising interests. He became a successful novelist and basically blossomed into a different person over the course of Legends of Tomorrow. You can see aspects of comics Mick (who has gone through phases of being a one-note raging villain and also been more gently sensitive) in him, but he's radically different in backstory and character portrayal.

Digger: Very different from the comics. He was an ex-special forces operative who became a mercenary and was drafted into the Suicide Squad, but Lyla Michaels tried to liquidate the team in the field and Digger's brain bomb malfunctioned so he didn't die…and then he came after her and anyone associated with her for revenge. He set a bunch of bombs and tried to blow stuff up, but in the end he got killed. He certainly seemed more like an ex-military soldier than a criminal or supervillain, which fit well with his CW backstory but he was nothing like his comics incarnation.

Owen: Very different from the comics. He wore a comics-accurate outfit…but it was Digger's outfit, not Owen's. He was just a villain/criminal who decided to take Digger's mantle after he died, and he worked for the Red Death (a crime boss). He was basically just a skilled asshole, but a smartassed and entertaining one. Also had an interesting friendship with the second Murmur.

Roy Bivolo: He only dealt in negative emotions -- fear and anger -- and was a bit of a psycho who did angsty edgy art and seemed to enjoy hurting people. I liked that the show did a more accurate depiction of his achromatopsia than the comics ever have; he wore dark glasses and his hideout had low lighting to accommodate his vision problems. There was a female Rainbow Raider (Carrie Bates, not another Roy Bivolo) later on who dealt in positive emotions, and she was fun.

Hartley: He was pretty different in that he was a perpetual jerk, even after he'd reformed. He was an engineer at STAR Labs and a protégé of Harrison Wells (who was Eobard Thawne in disguise) but hated Cisco, and when Wells seemingly replaced Hartley with Barry he developed a violent grudge against them all. He mostly used sonic tech rather than musical instruments, and used tech to cope with the damage done to his hearing by the particle accelerator accident. He was pretty cruel as a villain; at one point he sent some metas to destroy a city dam, which could have killed thousands of people. Anyway, he didn't get over the grudge for a long time, though the universe reset itself a couple of times and eventually he got a boyfriend named Roderick who was hurt by a battle between Hartley and the Flash. Team Flash helped save his life, so Hartley more or less let go of the grudge and reformed for Roderick, and later helped Barry when he needed it.

James: Mark Hamill reprised his Trickster role from the `90s Flash series, and he was kinda fun but not in a traditional James way. He was definitely a psychopath and a murderous criminal who tried to kill hundreds or thousands of people for laughs, but he had some theatrical panache while doing it.

Axel: He idolized James Jesse and was delighted to learn that James was his father; it turns out that his mother was Prank, James' old sidekick from the `90s Flash series. He's also a psycho who likes killing people, but he too has something of his father's style.

Mark: He and his brother Clyde had been violent bank robbers who worked together before getting meta powers. Clyde became the original Weather Wizard, but he was killed by Joe West and Mark took over the mantle and sought revenge. Mark was generally pretty murder-happy, especially towards Joe and the Flash. He had a kid like in the comics, but ironically she used tech and he had meta powers (so the opposite of pre-Flashpoint continuity), and she was older and tried to kill him for being a crappy dad.

Sam: He was a wannabe gang leader with his girlfriend Rosa (Flarrowverse Top), though he tended to talk over her and eventually she murdered him to take his place. He got his powers when he'd insulted Len and Len had been in the process of killing him when the particle accelerator exploded, but it left Sam trapped in a mirror for a few years until he freed himself. He was vain and showy and could travel through mirrors, but we didn't really see much of him.

Evan: There was a gender-swap, so she was Eva. It was a complicated story, but the gist is that the real Eva was killed in the particle accelerator explosion, and a mirror duplicate of her was created and trapped in a mirror universe. She didn't know she was a duplicate, and was unhappy to be trapped; she dragged Iris into the mirror universe and created a duplicate Iris in the real world. Once Eva escaped the mirror world, she killed her crappy ex-husband but soon learned that she was in fact a duplicate and her whole existence was a lie. She created a ton of mirror duplicates and they tried to destroy Central City, but she was convinced to stop and decided to make the mirror world into a better place for them. As you can tell from these events, she was basically nothing like Evan aside from the name.

Roscoe: There was a gender-swap, so she was Rosa(lind). She was a wannabe gang co-leader with her boyfriend Sam, but he tended to sideline her and eventually she killed him. She didn't spin (except for a gag when Jesse Quick tossed her into the air), and originally she only had vertigo powers. Later she gained empathic powers and quasi-telepathic powers and developed an odd frenemy relationship with Cecile Horton (who was part of Team Flash and had similar powers), which was the only thing I liked about her.

Dr Alchemy: His name was Julian Albert in the show, and he was a work colleague of Barry's who fell under Savitar's control after finding the Philosopher's Stone. Savitar used him as a cult leader granting/restoring powers to people in his Alchemy persona (which he didn't know was happening), but Julian was eventually able to break free from him and joined Team Flash. The team used him to contact Savitar, and as Julian he pursued a relationship with Caitlin and tried to cure her of her Killer Frost persona. There were some similarities to Johns' post-Flash: Rebirth revamp of him, in that he was Barry's bitchy co-worker instead of someone he befriended after Al reformed. The Savitar and cult thing was different, and in the CWverse the Philosopher's Stone was made out of Speed Force or something.

Abra Kadabra: Originally he was a cool criminal from the future with amazing tech that looked like magic (it gets my seal of approval), and then he was brought back in another episode which revealed he was a dude named Philippe who tried to destroy Central City because his family had been erased in Crisis and he was angry. Barry was kind to him and he backed down, and then he got killed while helping the Flash.

Magenta: A nice teen with magnetic powers and mental health issues from an abusive parental figure, so fairly similar to her comics self. She didn't have a romantic history with Wally or any member of Team Flash, and she got her powers from Dr Alchemy.

Lashawn: She was called Shawna, and her backstory was completely different. In the comics she committed crimes only to save her father's life, but in the CW she was an ordinary thief and tried to spring her loser boyfriend from jail with her teleportation powers. She joined Hartley's vengeance squad after a time incarcerated in the Pipeline, but wasn't okay with his plan to destroy the city and she told Iris West about the plan before anyone could be killed. So in that sense she was different from most of the Rogues, and somewhat like her comics self.

Girder: He was completely different. In the Flarrowverse he was a former bully of Barry's, and he was more like Colossus (from the X-Men) than Girder because he could transform from a human into a metal form and even looked like Colossus instead of a rusted junk pile.

Blacksmith: Also completely different. She was an odd woman who liked to reinvent herself with fake names and new personas, and she wanted to be a crime boss like her comics counterpart but wasn't nearly as intelligent or threatening. Her powers were better, though, and I liked her lovers/rivals relationship with Goldface. In the comics she could manipulate and meld metal and flesh, but in the CW she could shape a specific type of metal into projectiles and defensive functions.

Tar Pit: His backstory was completely different, as he was betrayed by a comrade and knocked into a tar pit, leaving him trapped for years underground and seeking revenge on those who wronged him after he was free. Thus, his personality was less cheery than his comics self because what he went through was pretty traumatic. He had a human form and a tar form instead of being a perpetual tar monster.

Double Down: His powers were mostly the same (though tattoo-based), but he was more of a gang enforcer in the Flarrowverse. And there was no cursed deck of cards in his backstory, alas.

Cicada: Totally different. In the CW, the first Cicada was a guy who blamed metahumans for his family's misfortunes and went on a killing spree, and then he was killed and replaced by an insane future version of his metahuman niece who picked up his war and murdered metas.

Murmur: There was a man and a woman who went by that name in the Flarrowverse. Neither spoke English (they both had their mouths sewn shut) so we don't know a ton about them, but they were surprisingly true to the original comics version. The woman used ASL, which gave us more insight into her personality and she was rather witty. I liked her friendship with Owen.

Chillblaine: Not exactly a Rogue, but the Flarrowverse version had a lot more development than his comics counterparts. He was a lot smarter (a former scientist) and liked to walk around shirtless, and he had a redemption arc but then went bad again and then redeemed himself once more. He was in a relationship with Killer Frost when she was killed, which devastated him.

I know we all as a fandom have decided that Rolan is a sub and Dammon is a dom but canon points to it being the opposite I fear.

StableMaster!Yang: Come on, Ruby. You'll be fine.

Ruby: (wearing full armor and on a horse) Yang, are you out of your mind?! This is how people get killed!

Yang: Pfft! Please! This is nothing! I joust all the time!

Ruby: You're also a beast in your own right!!! YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE JOUSTING!!! You're not a knight!!!

Yang: Technicalities. You're literally going up against a newbie squire, Rubes. You can knock him off his horse easy.

Ruby: (ignoring Yang) When I said I wanted to be a knight, I didn't mean I wanted to joust!

Yang: Ugh! Fine! Do what you want. I have to get on my horse and get ready for my run. Good luck, sis! (smacks Crescent's flank and the horse gallops to the jousting arena)

Ruby: Whoa! Whoa! Yang! How could you?!

Yang: (trots over to where Ember is waiting patiently and adjusts her chest piece) Ready to go, big guy?

Princess!Blake: And what do you think you're doing?

Yang: I'm gonna joust.

Blake: No, you are most definitely not.

Yang: Yes, I most definitely am. I've been doing this for years, Blake. I can handle a new challenger.

Blake: Not when it's a knight that's been trying for my hand for over five years, Yang!

Yang: (pauses) ......Say again?

Blake: (looks to the side) Your opponent is Adam Taurus. He's one of the newly anointed knights in Sienna's platoon. Sienna finally ran out of excuses to not promote him. He's...very adamant about marrying me...to the point where suitors have gone missing as soon as he gets wind.

Yang: (holds Blake's hands) Blake, I'll be fine. I promise. (kisses Blake's fingers before mounting Ember) And when I get back, I have a surprise for you! (trots towards the jousting arena)

Blake: (bites her lip) Please, be safe.

Having to take up the Blacksmith Life to craft one of the endgame items (no blacksmith buddies. alas) is giving me Thoughts

A fun fact about Oliver is that she got the burn scar on her arm from rushing blacksmithing - she wanted a specific carpenting resource, and tried to rank up as a blacksmith as quick as possible to get it, resulting in her fumbling during work and getting burned.

I can see a similar thing happening to Plover in this instance, resulting in perhaps a small burn on them - they are Stressed they are lowkey Freaking Out they are Not going to be paying full attention to the job lmao

"Are you ready for the responsibility of the bunny suit, EMIYA?" She's ready to be matching! Maybe now the others won't try to kill each other?

"I have your example to inspire me, don't I? My bunny suit might not have a shirt, but I already know Master won't be able to help but wan to play with ears." He chuckled with a confident smirk.

"...Master has strange tastes if they want an old man like ME to be in one of those bunny suits shirtless. Are the ears and the buff ball tail really that important?" Yet, he was willing to wear it despite the griping.

the extent that i go for fanfiction i swear — i didn’t want to get my blue eye samurai fic very wrong when it centres around making a katana, so now i’m elbow deep in katana-based research trying to match inventions in blacksmithing to 17th century japan to try and find the most accurate method that they would’ve used.

i know that no one expects me to be an expert in 17th century katana sword forging, but damn it if i’m not going to try, especially when that’s mizu’s whole character in my fic atm
