The “Time of the Oldening” is almost upon us, as Vagrus turns to the respectable age of 5 years on the 5th October! The anniversary celebrations bring a new improvement patch, including a couple of small gifts for all our players. The name of the game’s base edition is changing to Anniversary Edition on Steam to reflect half a decade of improvements and free content – a better, improved Vagrus. In addition, in this article we’d also like to shout out one of our fellow developers and their cool new game, Retro Space.

Hey everyone,

Last week, we shared our Patreon Revamp Survey, and many of you have already taken the time to participate. Thank you so much!

The response has been incredibly encouraging. Most respondents have been with us since Early Access or the full release, and we’re seeing a strong interest in lore deep dives and concept art, as well as development updates, opportunities for minor involvement in content creation, merchandise, and TTRPG content.

In this article, we’re taking a closer look at the fixes and improvements introduced since the most recent major update, bringing together the key changes in one place. With the release of the Expedition storyline’s final chapter, we reached a major milestone for Vagrus, but our work on the game continues. Since its release, we’ve been steadily addressing community-reported issues, improving performance and stability, and polishing the experience through patches and hotfixes across all platforms. As of late, the focus was on campaign map movement and trade economics. You can jump to the list of changes at the end of the article.

After a road that was almost as long and arduous as that of Kharandar and his merry band of explorers, we have finally reached our destination: the closing chapter of the Expedition storyline is now available to all owners of At the Heart of Ruin! The free content is accompanied by a slew of performance improvements and tweaks, which we believe, improve the games significantly.

We are pleased to announce that, starting today, our Cultured Supporter Pack is available on Nintendo!

The Cultured Supporter Pack, as well as the Ruinous Supporter Pack, help the ongoing development of Vagrus and our studio, and include a cosmetic set for every Companion as a thank-you. Its theme was chosen by Vagrus players and features a diverse range of attires that reflect various cultures of Xeryn, the continent where the game is set. The contents of the supporter pack are the following cosmetics:

This year marks the fourth occasion of the annual Turn-based Thursday Fest, showcasing some of the best and coolest indie games on the market today. Participating this time are turn-based RPGs, sims, grand strategy games, deckbuilders, 4X games, roguelikes, puzzlers, city builders, and much, much more!

We’re back and we've got news to share! First, our ‘Cultured’ Support Pack is approaching its release, and second, we’re updating our official soundtrack (OST) very soon, which will then include tracks from our At the Heart of Ruin expansion. Additionally, we’ll also be updating our Patronage Pack, which will now include wallpaper pieces from Sunfire and Moonshadow, Old Acquaintances, and At the Heart of Ruin.

Hey everyone,

Today we are excited to release part one of our Expedition updates, Journey in the Dark, which picks up Kharandar and gang’s story where we left off in the expansion: the expedition is ready to set out from Dum Garok and they are sending you ahead. Or, down below, to be exact, as the journey in the story’s continuation will take players underground first. We’ll also talk about the upcoming supporter pack, a Nintendo giveaway, and get into the patch notes.

This week we wanted to confirm that the second cosmetic supporter pack for Vagrus is coming along nicely, and also provide a little peak into said progress. These supporter packs are ways to further aid the development of Vagrus and our studio in general, and they provide a cosmetic for every Companion in the game as a “thank you”.

We’re excited to announce that At the Heart of Ruin, the second expansion of Vagrus – The Riven Realms, is now available on Nintendo Switch!
