Rise of the Village Hero: February update

Hello, everyone!
This marks the major update for February, and I plan to release a patch or two for reorganization. Here are the main notes for this update:
Major Improvements:
- Reworked UI with Sound Effects: Incorporated different sound effects for player swords to add variety. Each silver sword, gold sword, etc., will have distinct sound effects. Additionally, added sound effects for inventory, quests, and pickups. Some things still need to be worked on but intend to have it so each sword rarity has their unique sounds. Same for other type of weapons.
- New Resource – Stamina: Introduced a new elemental resource – stamina. Willpower now increases stamina. Changed attacking mechanics to involve managing stamina; you won’t be able to attack if you have no stamina (i.e., out of breath).
- Stamina Potion and Shop Additions: Introduced a new potion for stamina and added stamina to shops at Keep and the first level of the dungeon.
Smaller Improvements:
- New Swords: Added two new swords to the dropper – ‘Grieving Blade’ (silver sword) and ‘Blackout’ (silver sword). These models were crafted by my colleague Will, who is freelancing (check out the credits).
- Aesthetic Improvements: Enhanced the aesthetics of the village and the first dungeon level. This includes new terrain paints and fixing some level models that were not matching.
- Cinematic Changes: Removed the initial cinematic (as it was already a trailer). Working on a new one that will be more representative of the story’s start. The new cinematic will be shorter, capped at 30 seconds.
- Reintroduction of Fly-Through Camera Cutscene: Brought back the informative fly-through camera cutscene at the beginning to explain the main points of interest for the player. Significantly shortened for a more engaging experience.
I will be providing more updates throughout the month, focusing on small patches to fix bugs or add equipment. Your time and consideration in supporting my game, either through purchases or wishlists, are sincerely appreciated.
