Blacksmith Idle is a chill idle game where you manage your own workshop, unlock new items, watch your inventory, buy upgrades and ascend to grow faster with each run. Master every item to reach every blacksmith’s dream—or chase BIG numbers.
The developer filed this on the Steam store page. It is not a guess by active.games.
Blacksmith Idle used pre-generated AI tools during development for parts of the visual asset pipeline, some music/audio creation, and limited development assistance. All shipped content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not use live-generated AI during gameplay, does not connect players to AI services, and does not generate player-facing content in real time.
