While The Iron’s Hot is a single-player game, but playing alone doesn’t mean you are alone!

Join our Discord to share discoveries, clever exploits, and your ox’s finest outfits with other players 🐂✨

Make sure you keep your ox cooled down with the right outfit this summer ☀️
He’s also working very hard across Ellian so don’t forget the pets!

Throwback to when @yellowgooseforge forged the Steel Greatsword from While The Iron’s Hot as part of our launch promotion!

Seeing something you designed brought to life by a talented artist is unreal 🥲

Fourth stop on our tour of While The Iron’s Hot: Lupal ⚗️

Tucked in the desert, this village of alchemists is led by the strong-willed Arcana. Some approach the craft with science, others with ancient magic.

Huge thanks to @wanderbot.bsky.social for the lovely video for our game's launch! 💛

As a dev, seeing people enjoy your game is always special. But watching them react, discover, and laugh in a video… that hits different.

No combat. Just a chill, cozy game.

In our game, you forge swords but never swing them. Instead, we focused on crafting a satisfying loop of gathering, forging, and rebuilding a village into a place you can truly call home.

Kangaroo pouch! 🦘

This slowed-down clip shows one of our favorite animations in the game. There’s just something about that motion. Frame by frame, it’s so fun and satisfying to watch.

Throwback to when @SplattrCatGames played our demo and didn’t expect all that from a cozy blacksmith RPG. We like to subvert expectations around here! 😌

New tip for blacksmiths! 🔨

On the anvil, aim for pieces connected to the green zone. If metal gets disconnected from the target shape, it gets cleared automatically and saves you a few hammer swings.

Turns out the real fashion icon isn’t the blacksmith… it’s your ox!
Dress them up. Make them fabulous. They’ve earned it. 🧡

Which outfit is your favorite?

Who knew blacksmithing could be this satisfying?

Thanks to @wanderbots for playing our game at launch and sharing how they love the level-up system in While The Iron’s Hot.

Nothing more satisfying than fulfilling orders and grinding XP 💪🏻

So if you’re in that spot, getting rejections, reworking your pitch, wondering if it’s worth it... keep going. Your game might be one email away from finding its people! 🫶

What is this green glowing thing meant to do?

Take a look at the very early concept of the player's village in While The Iron's Hot. Not every mechanic made the cut, but we still love looking back at them!

Pssst… here’s a tip for new players in While the Iron's Hot ⬇️

When you’re smelting and approach the green area, smash that button! You’ll speed things up even more and look like a crafting pro while doing it.

The morning routine of a blacksmith in Ellian: Up bright and early, out the forge by 6, and off to deliver the daily orders. The grind is real when villagers need their gear! 🔨

You know what sounds perfect right now?

A quiet Sunday with pancakes, crepes, and a cozy game where you don’t have to fight anything.

No combat. No pressure. Just pure comfort.

Hate grinding in crafting games?

In While The Iron’s Hot, you can skip the grind – if you’re clever enough, that is. We left in some exploits on purpose. It ain’t cheating. It’s blacksmith magic! 🔨✨

Third stop on our tour of While The Iron’s Hot: Vox 🦅

Home of the hunters, led by Peregrine and his trusty bird. They have a tough job but care deeply about the creatures they track. Maybe a little too much.
