Early Access - Chapter 3 🎮🏰🃏
Medieval Times – Season 3, Chapter 3 is now available in Early Access! 🏰✨
Hello everyone! 💛
Chapter 3 of Medieval Times – Season 3 is finally here in Early Access, and this one brings quite a few new scenes, systems, fixes and improvements to Baladur.
This chapter continues Bennett’s new life in town, with more daily work, new encounters, emotional moments, side quests, and a few situations that may get a little more personal than expected. 👀
It also introduces the first signs of a larger central storyline that will continue across the rest of the season, slowly connecting future chapters and bringing a deeper mystery into Bennett’s new life in Baladur.
What’s new in Chapter 3? ✨
New story content 📖Chapter 3 adds a full new day in Baladur, continuing Bennett’s routine after the events of the previous chapters. There are new story scenes, new emotional moments, new choices, and more time spent with characters such as Jeffery, Kael, Magnus, Brunilda and others.
There are also new intimate scenes and variations depending on previous choices and completed content.
A new season-long storyline begins 🕯️This chapter plants the first seeds of a larger plot that will unfold throughout Season 3. What begins as small rumours and strange details around Baladur will gradually become part of a much bigger story as the season continues.
New side quests 📜Several new notice board quests have been added, including new characters, new scenes and new rewards. Some of these quests are more practical, some are more playful, and some may lead Bennett into rather unexpected situations.
New minigame: repairing the road 🪨A new playable minigame has been added for one of the side quests. Bennett can now help repair a broken road by placing stones, managing energy, and completing the job properly.
It comes with its own background, sounds and visual layout.
Wild Duel improvements 🃏Wild Duel received a big update in this release.
New opponents have been added for Chapter 3, including Armani and Aurelian. Aurelian is part of the PLUS content.
The quick menu access has also been improved. The Wild Duel button now opens a proper popup with two options:
Enter Wild Duel
Manage your deck
New deck management system 🃏You can now manage Bennett’s own deck for Wild Duel.
The new deck screen lets you choose and save a custom deck of 10 cards. Once saved, Bennett will use that deck in battle instead of receiving a random one.
The interface has been polished with new visuals, better spacing, selection effects, proper buttons, scrolling, and its own background music.
Inventory improvements 🎒The inventory system has been improved so items are placed in the first available slot instead of using fixed slots. This should prevent items from overwriting each other between quests.
The inventory is now also persistent, meaning important items such as the fishing rod or the red handkerchief should remain available even after closing and reopening the game, unless the story or a quest removes them.
Rent system fix 🛏️The rent system has been reworked so daily charges and unpaid rent penalties are only applied once per chapter. This should prevent rent from being recalculated incorrectly when re-entering scenes or loading certain flows.
Walkthrough update 🗺️The walkthrough/solution section has been updated with Chapter 3 content, including the main story path and the new side quests from this chapter.
The new walkthrough images are available in Spanish, English and German.
Visual and audio polish 🎨🎵Several Chapter 3 images received extra visual polish, especially darker/night scenes, with cleaner shadows, reduced render noise and a more cinematic look.
Music placement has also been improved throughout the chapter, with different tracks for the tavern, blacksmith scenes, emotional moments, romantic scenes, night investigation and the chapter ending.
Interface fixes and improvements 🛠️A few UI issues have also been fixed or improved:
Long choice menu options now wrap properly inside the buttons.
The mission board now scrolls correctly and no longer causes grid overflow issues.
The PLUS code screen no longer breaks when pressing Back.
The deck management screen no longer causes grid overflow errors.
Several visual elements in Wild Duel and the deck menu have been adjusted and polished.
PLUS content 💎This update also includes new PLUS-related content, including an additional Wild Duel opponent and extra intimate content tied to Chapter 3.
As always, thank you so much for supporting the development of Medieval Times. Every bit of support, patience and encouragement helps me keep building Bennett’s story and expanding the world of Baladur little by little. 💛
