Villagers And Heroes Will Finally Be Adding Interior Housing This Year
Since Villagers and Heroes launched in 2011, it’s virtual villages only had houses and neighborhoods that were basically just for show. After over a decade, players will finally be able to enter their respective houses with the introduction of the interior housing system which developer Mad Otter Games teased as far back as 2015.
The announcement comes with the revival of the cross-platform MMO’s newsletter, The Ardent Ledger, following months of silence. “The most exciting new feature to arrive in the early months of 2023 is the one you’ve all been waiting the longest for,” wrote Mad Otter. “Rumors and whispers of its impending approach have circulated for months. Strange messages began appearing in-game. Was it a bug, wondered baffled players who happened to click on their house doors and were told: “Your house is currently under renovation.’”
“No, it’s not a bug, and yes, the rumors are true,” revealed the studio. “The single most requested feature by VH players of all time, that which the Otters gave you brief glimpses of in long ago livestreams and tantalized you with images of its creation process, is at last soon to be a reality: interior housing and the ability to customize your own homes is coming to Villagers & Heroes in early 2023!”
The interior housing system will allow players to customize their houses with a variety of furnishings and decorations, set permissions for would-be visitors, and give it a name. “The diverse quantity of items to choose from – beds, couches, bar carts, cabinets, chairs, window panes, bookcases, candlesticks, fireplaces, carpets, wall mounts, and much more – are considerable, and players will have a number of methods at their disposal to obtain them,” touted the team.
Crafters will also get 85 new crafting recipes that will allow them to create their own furnishings for their houses or sell them through the in-game auction house.
The newsletter also touched on other major additions and changes this year, including the redesigned cash shop which went live earlier this week, as well as the upcoming mana potion revamp and class balance tweaks.
The full newsletter awaits your reading pleasure on the Villagers and Heroes official site.
