Hey everyone,

as we’ve mentioned before, we’ve been in the process of expanding our team - the unintended side-effect of which was our work slowing down a bit. Looking for new people, reviewing their test tasks, and interviewing them do take up an awful lot of time and energy. The effort, however, yielded several new hires who are on their probation period right now.

Once the new Companion, namely the corpulent Undead chef called Vorax, gets added into the game, players will find that true to his word, he can indeed cook for the crew. Choices include his famous shroom brew, the dangerous-looking kelp soup, the fabled Dragon egg omelet, and even a mean Tarkian coffee (and more!). All of these provide different bonuses to crew, Companions, or your vagrus. We hope you'll enjoy this aspect of his abilities as much as we enjoyed designing it.

Hey everyone,

We managed to squeeze in quite a number of improvements and reworks while new content is being created by the team. It includes a lot of things that we have been unable to rework until now, so we're super satisfied that we got around to them. In this patch, we specifically concentrated on Companion Combat UI and the Game Log, but there are a lot of other additions and fixes, too. We've talked about these changes here and here. You can find the detailed patch notes below.

In Part I., we discussed upcoming changes that are not combat-related for the most part, so in this one we'll focus on updates to combat, as well as changes we've made to the Log.

Game Log Changes

We've felt for a while now that despite providing important information, the game log is not as informative as we would like it to be. And so we took our tools to it to give it a nice facelift and rework.

The Riven Realms is rife with one-on-one battles! Will your fighter prevail in this mortal bloodshed or succumb to the opponent's deadly skills? Who will you pick to battle a roster of savage foes? Vagrus Fighter 2 (TM!) is awaiting, warrior!

--------------------------------------------------

With the release of Vagrus behind us along with the production of the Collectors' and Emperors' Editions, we are getting back into the swing of developing new stuff for the game. We are now concentrating on our first free-LC, which will add the companion called Vorax into the game. He's been shown off before but since then he's received a bit of a visual overhaul. He'll come with his own background, loyalty questline, and unique abilities, providing players a much-needed second option for a Supercargo.

With March well underway, we are finally stepping out of the bug-fixing phase of the development of Vagrus. Of course, there are still a number of glitches and issues left (both smaller and more serious ones) but at least the improvements that we began designing and implementing in January are starting to bear fruit.

We are always excited to see Vagrus popping up here and there when curated lists of games are concerned. This time, RPG Codex's users took to vote for Game of the Year and we made top ten! We are honored that Vagrus came in 10th place from a large selection of great games, ending up in exquisite company.

We are happy to report that after a long, drawn-out battle with boxes, wrappers, and the employees of the postal services, we managed to send out all the physical rewards we could. All that remains are a handful of rewards where some information is missing (we did not receive a name or an address from the customer) or that wasn't picked up. But the vast majority of the rewards are on their way - if not at their destinations already.

Hey everyone,

we have a new patch for Vagrus, which is incidentally the first to add sizable new content - namely, the faction leader NPCs and interactions for the Loaders' and Carpenters' Guilds, something that has been lacking compared to other factions. Each of them can give you a new quest to further get into their good graces (and get a little something-something for yourself in the process, of course). Below are the detailed patch notes.
