Rise of the Village Hero – Chapter 3 is here!

Wynter is here…

Hey everyone!

I just want to say a huge thank you for your patience. As soon as I returned from my holiday in January, I started working hard to bring Chapter 3 to early access—and now Wynter is finally here!

If you’re new to my game, Rise of the Village Hero, I first launched it in early access in January 2024 with a total of seven levels—five in Chapter 1 and two in the area between Chapters 1 and 2. Fast forward to now, and the game has three full chapters, along with additional levels in between. I’m really happy and proud of how far it’s come!

This represents the eastern area of my map: Wynter Town. It marks Chapter 3 of my game, bringing me closer to the 1.0 release, with Chapter 4 set to be the final chapter.

This chapter introduces a variety of new levels worth exploring, such as the tavern in Wynter Town, where NPCs seek refuge. Additionally, several quests are nearing completion, including the final appearance of the Obsidian Talons mercenary group if you chose to ally with the Amber Blades (a mercenary group loyal to the kingdom). Characters from Chapter 1, such as the farmer and the knight you saved, also make a return.

Reaching this stage in development is a significant milestone for me, and I’m incredibly proud of the progress since January 2024 when I first released the game in early access. Sticking to my plan hasn’t been easy, but it’s been a valuable learning experience.
