Good question. We love the original Idle Blacksmith, but it was difficult to make update on it (technical reason). The New Idle Blacksmith includes features we would like to add to Idle Blacksmith 1. So it's more like a extension of the original instead of a new game.
Hi. Thanks for your kind words :) We originally started playing around with a mobile phone format, so that's why the screen size is smaller. We are planning to play around with that with some updates in the near future :)
Don't worry, it's very much welcome! I'm writing down all the ideas on an internal trello board so I can keep track of them. Especially a tutorial will be in the game eventually, but remember it's an early alpha and I would put that kind of thing in the game once it's in a more final state :)
Good game so far, maybe if some kind of multiplayer Acspect, or even a ingame leaderboard, so nobody can cheat in the leaderboards in the kongregate website
