With the addition of tons of new equipment for comitati, we have recently arrived at the point where a redesign of the equipment system became necessary. The new mechanic allows players to use these items in more diverse and specialized ways. New types of equipment, like armaments, tools, and animals are also added while we iron out the older list as well to make it more consistent and interesting. Another change is that Deputies will now be linked to equipment in a new way - they will open up extra slots for certain types when assigned to their post, further deepening the system. Now you'll be able to make use of more equipment at the same time and come up with combinations that better suit a large variety of situations in game.
This is surely the case of 'one picture is worth a thousand words'. Keep warm, keep safe guys!

Hey everyone,
and first of all, Happy New Year! We made it to 2021 at last.
We hope you all had the chance to relax during the holidays. 2020 has been a challenging year for us at Lost Pilgrims as much as for anyone else but it also brought a number of things that we really appreciate.
'They came at night - in the darkness that enveloped the valley, thick as ink. But then pale ghost light appeared and danced all over the carvings of the old tombs. The stink of terror was awful. And then I heard the screaming. Not that of the horrifying specters... but that of my comrades.'
Hey everyone,
first of all, Happy New Year. We made it to 2021 at last.
It's been a while since we posted a devlog entry and we figured that this would be a great time to do so. Today's topic, Dynamic pricing, has been on our minds for a long-long time, and finally, we've decided to pull the trigger on implementing it. To provide a little background on why we need it, let's review what happens in the current build of the game when you go trading.
This week's enemy breakdown post takes a look at he Dark Elf Marauder/Mercenary, one of the newer enemies added to the game. Let's dive in!
As we have previously discussed, these Dark Elven warriors either fight in lockstep formations in their Prince's armies, maraud on the surface at their lord's behest, or serve as mercenaries in the Riven Realms (mercenary variant).
Opening an indie game dev studio and developing a 100+ hour long, complex game right away comes with a lot of important lessons. One of which has been that we like to dream big and thanks to the abundant positive feedback from our amazing players, we like to make these visions even bigger. Thus we have felt since the end of 2019 that if we ever wanted to realize all the potential Vagrus has, we have to raise our core team's size.
In this week's animation sneak peek, we take a look at Finndurarth, one of the companions you can recruit during Vagrus' main campaign who has become something of a fan favorite. Apart from being generally pleasant to be around, the Dragonmage can also summon devastating lightning strikes and force shields, so no wonder she's popular. In her idle animation, she is casually awaiting action while keeping tempestuous energies at her fingertips.
We at Lost Pilgrims Studio want to wish you all Merry Christmas (or whatever else you celebrate in your neck of the woods at this time of the year) and a hopefully-much-better 2021 than this year has been globally! We hope that you are safe and well in these dark times.
Keep a weather eye on the horizon, as we'll continue working hard on Vagrus, releasing content and features continuously to be able to deliver a final game in 2021 that has the high quality we aim for as well as our quirky, unique touch. :)
The Assassin enemy in Vagrus is a version of the Handjari Assassins of Tark, sharing skills and a general appearance of a masked, sneaky killer. Yet their looks are less culturally specific than their Tarkian brethren and this was the goal with their character art so that they can fit easier into the many combat encounters where mercenaries or henchmen are found, complementing their combat effectiveness with their deadly toys.
