Hello all,

Big news! Thanks to all your support we've made it to the Top 100 in the Game of the Year competition hosted by IndieDB, and with that their event reached the next phase: to find the winners within each category. Vote for Vagrus again within the RGP Category to propel us even higher.

With this post, we invite all of you to welcome Ákos Porcsin, who joined Lost Pilgrims fairly recently as a Graphic Designer and UX/UI Designer. Alright, alright, that's only half-true, because actually, Ákos has been working on various aspects of Vagrus for a while now, but now he's joining us full-time. Most of the awesome UI improvements are to his credit and his responsibilities will now also include social media tasks, video editing, print media, and much more. When he isn't working, playing video games, or recording video gaming industry podcasts, Ákos is a super outdoorsy dude, riding his bike, climbing a wall, or hiking somewhere.

This year has been blast for us. Vagrus getting picked up by IGN for their Gamescom announcement-rail and then our full launch in October, despite Covid and other challenges, are the things that we are perhaps the most proud of. Of course, neither of those would have been possible without your continued support along our journey. Many sites run Game of the Year polls, and one such is IndieDB with their Indie of the Year 2021 competiton. If you like our game, consider voting on our indieDB page.

Hey everyone,

Merch Shipped Soon

Despite all the hurdles (production issues, massive paper shortage, etc.) our Vagrus-related merchandise is in the last stages of production. Shipping will start as soon as we receive the finalized items from the printing factories. We are sorry about the delays, it has been a difficult road to get here.

Hey everyone,

the last few weeks have been slow. Most of our team is either on sick leave or vacation, while the rest of us have been trying to finish tasks related to our physical Vagrus products or were busy formulating plans for the future of Lost Pilgrims. Bear with us though, as we are getting closer to realizing these plans. For now, let us look at what we are working on in more detail.

Hey everyone,

We are putting out another round of fixes today. Though the list is shorter than usual, it has some bugs on it that we've been trying to squash for a while now. Hopefully, they won't cause any trouble from now on.

Important Note: Considering the extent of these improvements there is little to no chance that we broke nothing in the process. Assume that we did not want to make anyone's life harder. If you see something amiss, please flag it to us using the usual channels, like the inbuild reporting tool (F1 button), forums, and our Discord server.

Hey everyone,

Another week, another patch! We keep tweaking things and adding smaller stuff for now while fixing bugs. Some are tougher than others, of course, so bear with us. Most of the fixes and tweaks were made possible due to a passionate and active player base - we can't thank you enough!

Hey everyone,

We've been trying to catch up since the launch last Tuesday and get on top of some of the bugs that many of you reported while also rounding out the missing Outpost and Wealth victory path ending parts. Although some bugs are still being hunted, the latter two are now being added to Vagrus.

This means that you can now build your own outpost out in the wasteland (one specific spot for now, room for expansion later), and upgrade it bit by bit so that in the end it yields you profit from time to time if managed properly. It is important to know that no new UI or feature comes with the outpost, since Vagrus is not a game that involves building stuff - the outpost is instead presented in Event format like it was envisioned from the beginning (and similar to other victory paths). Once completed, the outpost can be used for vagri with the Wealth ambition to win the game (but can be completed with all vagri). It's super expensive to do that, mind you, giving you a nice endgame goal and challenge.

Seven years ago we saw an up-and-coming youtuber with a great sense of humor showcase a weird, new game called Sunless Sea on his channel. We started talking about developing a game in the same vein set in our own unique RPG setting, which ended up being Vagrus - The Riven Realms.

And by Ahskul what a journey this has been so far. Speaking of which, there is a bit of a parallel here that could be drawn between caravans trudging across a barren, post-apocalyptic dark fantasy world and a tiny studio scrambling to deliver a huge open world game but we let's not go there on this fine day! :D
