Hey there, fellow gamers! If you’re a fan of A Hero’s Rest, we’ve got some exciting news to share with you today. Vanargand Games, the indie developer behind this unique management simulation game, has just rolled out a major update! We’re talking about new Gear Templates, a detailed Compendium, Workstation Specializations, and new Workstation Upgrades. That’s right, they’ve really been working their socks off to make your town management experience even more immersive and engaging.
For those who haven’t dipped their toes into A Hero’s Rest yet, here’s a quick rundown: instead of playing as the hero, you step into the shoes of a medieval town proprietor. Your job is to build your town from scratch, construct buildings like inns and shops, and stock them with weapons, armour, and magical gear to attract heroes. And the game doesn’t stop there – you can decorate and upgrade your buildings to entice even more powerful heroes to come visit.
The crafting system in A Hero’s Rest, allows you to create custom gear for your heroes to purchase. With thousands of customisation options available, no two towns will ever be the same.
Now, let’s dive into the juicy details of this latest update. Gear Templates are here to make customising gear for your heroes even easier. The new Compendium is your go-to guide for everything you need to know about your town, heroes, and crafting recipes. The Workstation Specializations and Upgrades will help you tailor your workshops to your needs, and also give a nice productivity boost. In short, this update is a game-changer.

Vanargand Games’ Co-Founder Alan Kilzi shared his excitement about the update, stating that it marks a significant step forward in the game’s development. The new features promise to enhance the gameplay experience, giving you even more control over your town and your heroes’ gear.
