- Patch Title: April update – 4G1
- Patch Release Date: April 19, 2024
The developer of Rise of the Village Hero has released a new update for the game on April 19, 2024. Here are the new things that you should expect to see or change on this new update. This information was curated directly from the official announcement on Steam.
Hey all, thank you for patiently waiting. I’ve been hard at work on the game over the last 3-4 days since I have submitted all my uni assessments, and I’m excited to share the latest update. This update addresses some small bugs and includes a significant improvement in frames per second in Warlington town. The drop in frame rate was only experienced on some machines, including mine, but it was due to the fog, which has now been rectified.
Small bug fixes:
- Fixed the sound effect for the Blackout sword.
- Edited dialogue for the lady farmer, whose farm is being attacked by deserter orcs.
- Fixed her house so players can no longer access it by walking through the walls.
Big bug fixes:
- Improved frames per second in Warlington town (first scene) to now over 60 FPS.
Aesthetics:
- Added a new set of armor called Knight Leather armor.
- Added more assets to the roster of armor and more amulets. These will be added later to the dropper
and quests. More of these will continue to be added to increase the inventory and randomize the
options. - The farmer lady’s house in the Meadow level is now fully furnished.
- Started working on improving lighting in Warlington town, as Guy is supposed to arrive at night, so I
made the scene darker. - Added more amulets, which will serve as rewards in some quests.
- Modeled an amulet for the first amulet of health so players will now be able to see an amulet instead
of a bag when they drop it on the ground. - Fixed the default drop; sometimes it would fall to the ground, but now it should always be above
ground. - Added slight fog in the first scene town of Warlington.
- Made improvements to the attack system by adding a sound effect to showcase lack of stamina.
- Improved the level up FX to make it more obvious that the player has leveled up. This addition has
been made based on feedback.
