I am very eager to update you on the latest happenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let&#8217;s dive into it. You may have noticed, if you follow me on social media platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn, that Village Hero has undergone a name change. This change is in preparation for an upcoming announcement, which I hope to share with you in the next few days. The new name is designed to make things simpler and clearer, and I&#8217;ve also made some slight adjustments to the art to reflect this. I am optimistic about revealing what&#8217;s next for Rise of the Village Hero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to emphasize, as I have in the past, that this is my first commercial game for my studio. It will involve a steep learning curve for me as both a developer and the founder of my studio. I hope that people will continue to enjoy it, as they did when I showcased the game at PlayExpo in Glasgow. I&#8217;m eager to see how players react to my game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rise of the Village Hero is not a large RPG; it&#8217;s a small game with an expected 20-24 levels by the end. Due to its size and the fact that it&#8217;s solely developed by me, it won&#8217;t have all the functionalities that larger AAA games might have. I&#8217;ve used assets from the Synty Polygon series that I purchased and own the rights to, as I believe it gives the game a polished look compared to creating my own assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally, the game started as a university module project, but it has evolved significantly since then. I utilized RPG courses at the time to learn how to make an RPG, fulfilling a long-time dream of mine. I have the rights to the code as per the terms of the course, and over the course of nearly two years, I&#8217;ve made changes and additions to suit my style and goals for the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why am I sharing all this information? Well, I want to be upfront and honest. I want potential future buyers to know the story behind the game, its growth, and how it came to be. I&#8217;m excited about the journey ahead, acknowledging that it won&#8217;t be easy. I&#8217;m aware of the challenges, but my hope is that people will appreciate my games made with passion and, most importantly, have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, stay tuned, give a follow, and I&#8217;ll keep you all in the loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Silviu (Founder and game developer at Ludus&nbsp;Pax Studios)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everybody!&nbsp; My name is Silviu, and I am the founder and solo developer at Ludus Pax Studios, a solo developer company based in Glasgow, Scotland.
