As a roving trader you're unremarkable, neither downtrodden nor particularly influential, and will mostly travel between settlements in an open world, doing the old low/high biz. The stock fantasy races are here but rarely remarked upon, with even the dragon people treated more like a neighbouring kingdom than fundamentally Other. Most people I've met have been pretty sound, a welcome change from interpreting "difficult" as "everyone is a hostile prick for no reason". By the time you show up, things are somewhat rebuilt. They then left altogether, unaware that there were survivors. That world isn't a nice place, which isn't surprising given that the very cool backstory had the Big Empire become so utterly appalling that the gods themselves decided to drop the big Monty Python stompy foot on everything in a fit of rage. You're a vagrus, leader of a merchant caravan that plods about a post-apocalyptic fantasy world in search of fortune, fame, or bumming around as you like. It's a game about running a caravan in a world that just happens to have a cool history. This is not a game about some Epic Quest or grand campaign. After hours of feeling like a brave rebel by doing this in Vagrus - The Riven Realms, I realised it's how you're supposed to play it. If you're anything like me, when you start a game you will almost invariably try to run off into the woods or swamp and aggressively ignore anything even passably resembling a main story. Check the Best Game You Missed tag to see a new game each day over the break. While it's being taught the error of its ways, we've got a few games we let slip under the radar this year. Vagrus - The Riven Realms is available on Steam and GOG for $30, with a 15% launch discount until next week.2021 is about due to be visited by three thematic ghosts. We'll share more detailed plans when the tumult of the release abates somewhat.Īnd again, thank you for coming along for the journey with the Lost Pilgrims! On the contrary, our plans involve improving mechanics, adding content, and creating DLCs if there is a demand. Below you will find the full patch notes, which is basically the same in a bullet point list.īecause the Riven Realms have been part of our lives in one form or another for 30 years, rest assured that we have no intention of abandoning the game now that 1.0 is out, of course. We also have some unfinished business regarding the Wealth victory path and the adding of new playable races, which we'll get around to presently.įor a detailed description of what is to come, check out the previous devlog post here. Because of this large amount, there are certainly still glitches here and there but the team is ready and eager to address those as they rear their ugly heads. With companion questlines, a new companion, and a new region, the game grew by about 30-35% compared to the last public Early Access build, with a lot of UI and feature improvements. If you could keep this up by playing the game and sharing this post we would be eternally grateful. Everyone who spent hours and hours delving into the Early Access, everyone who dropped a few kind words or a review of the game, shared posts, talked to friends about Vagrus, sent bug reports, pointed out typos, and of course, bought the game - you are what made all this work worth it. What's truly important in this whole journey is that it would not have been possible without the continued, constructive, persistent support of so many of you, the players. 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 And by Ahskul what a journey this has been so far.
