Just saw this on Youtube of all places, and am dipping a toe into this. Its basically a medieval forge simulator, focused on sword design. Kind of stuff I believe most people here may enjoy. The demo is out until February 11th I think. store.steampowered.com/app/2305640/Bladesong/I'll leave some feedback as I experiment. No idea if everyone already knew about this, so if that's the case, let me know so I can get the thread removed.

So, a quick follow up. Unfortunately the demo period will end tomorrow morning. I really only played around with the tools and tried to make a basic, feasible sword. It came out a bit short. Blade geometry can be extensively adjusted. Don't know how crazy one can get with it, but it has potential. No reason why any real weapon cannot be replicated. Guard and hilt are more of a pick and choose style. Preset geometries. Below is a screenshot of what I managed to make, complete with physical properties: Attachments:

Looks interesting! Problem is, I'd only ever make katana like blades. Maybe they'll make a Japanese edition?

You can do katana, just make it curved and adjust the cross section and taper. The game already has all the koshirae for it!

Haha, that's cool! It looks like it's pretty early in development, but when it's ready looks like it will be pretty fun!

I downloaded the demo this weekend thanks to your post! Will definitely give it a try over the next few days.

They extended the demo period for today, but I am unsure if they will keep it open for long.
Shame I only caught wind of this recently. With a couple of tweaks, could have lots of potential!

Sharp blades are good to have, if Shire-folk go walking, east, south, far away into dark and danger.

I belive you can. You have to run profile taper a bit wierd. I haven't tried, but I'll see if I can. In theory, with the tools present it should be possible.
I will attempt a restricted "widen" and then "profile taper" and "point" tools. Should work.
