Everyone loves a good shop management/tycoon game. But what about one that is turn-based with RNG elements?

In this interview, John Aljets sits down with Kevin Fornari, one of the designers (and the community manager) behind Smithy by Day, a game where you play as a trio of adventurers who have gotten their hands on a blacksmith shop, and now much navigate the world of capitalism, while managing their time as wisely as possible.

Whether you're a fan of fantasy, dungeon crawling, or the deep strategy of turn-based games, this conversation is packed with passion and behind-the-scenes detail you won’t want to miss!
