I see what you did there with the theme .) Very nice visually and audio-wise, very original. Does it have a victory condition? I managed to make one coin, and then die...

The victory condition is you get to live to make more coins, FOREVER! mwah ha ha. (a.k.a we didn't have time ) The plan was to have a race against time mechanic, where you would die on the counter reaching zero, and time added to that timer for each correct coin.
Uhm...guess you didn't quite finish this one? I really like the graphics and sounds/music, but I guess apart from making coins there is no further gameplay/goal? I like that you added a manual. Thanks
The scariest things in the game are the walls of text in the manual :) Graphics are quite good, I would probably light the scene a little bit more. Otherwise a solid entry!
loved the mood and art :)
Nice graphics and concept. You can improve the beginning with a tutorial, like a job interview, for understand where is the interactions, and how to use forge. You can also add a visual feedback on where to put objects, because the first ime I put plate under the melting cast
some tutorial, ingame or here would be nice, didnt get what to do in the game :( managed to create ingot atleast :D visuals look nice, but could be a little more lighter I think
Felt dark and .. dystopian a little. Managed to follow the in game "manual" and some general knowledge to produce some coins (although the sizes are not documented, had to guess). Managed to create some coins, until I messed something. Overall, great dark implementation of the theme.
Great! But I felt it a bit dark!
I like it. It was a little tough figuring out what to do at first but I think that is the point. Nice graphics and theme.
It's an interesting take on the theme. The lighting was a little too dark making it hard to see and most of the items has the same name making it difficult to know what is what. A tutorial would have been nice but other than that, it's a fun game that I enjoyed.
Cool atmosphere, and I liked all the effects and animations for the stages of crafting. A great alternative approach to a super restrictive theme. Nice work!
I really liked playing this game! Liked the dark mood but sometimes it was a bit hard to see, music was great, sound effects as well. Sadly couldn't figure out how to do plated coins and alloys. Managed a Koala and that was it so a tutorial on the forge would have been good. Also a little bug - coming down from the initial pathway right next to the wall I was able to walk on the wall above the lamps. Otherwise great game!
Great atmosphere. It took me some time to figure things out, but that'sme I guess!
nice game
Environment was f@#$ fantastic
Nice game! Making one coin was good enough for me (Persian Daric). It took me a while to figure it out, but following the manual made things easier. I liked the 3d art, but the game in general was very dark for me, and gold seems to be missing its label. The UI on the manual and text was easy to read though it scrolled very slowly. Since the general process of making the coin is the same and just about getting the material, size, and stamp correct, it would've been nice to see a progression where maybe you just have to choose the correct size, and then it gets more and more complicated so there's a difficulty curve. Or perhaps the gameplay is like a idler where you can start to automate the process of making coins, or you can pay things are different stations to reveal lore or story. Interesting premise though, nice job!
Awesome! a bit confusing. But was ok.
