Branding and shop readiness

Idle Forge has a fresh public face: a new logo, a new app icon and clearer public pages around support, privacy, terms and optional in-app purchases.

Player-facing update

• The website now uses the new Idle Forge logo and app icon.
• The browser tab icon now uses the new app icon.
• The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy now explain optional in-app purchases, store-processed payments and purchase validation.
• The changelog and devlog now describe what changed in clearer, less technical language.

Technical notes

• The website uses dedicated favicon files so browsers can pick up the new app icon more reliably.
• Image layouts are constrained to their real aspect ratio, preventing stretched or oversized visuals on desktop and mobile.
• Purchase-related pages describe the high-level flow without exposing internal systems or implementation details that players do not need.

Why this matters

The first impression of Idle Forge should match the game players are actually downloading. The updated branding makes the website feel closer to the current app, while the legal and support pages make upcoming purchase flows clearer before players spend money.
