This update adds new content and a bunch of tweaks and fixes we hope you'll enjoy. There's also been a number of engine updates, which hopefully increase performance for our players. One major change you'll notice is that the game window has been increased to 720p, with updated menu graphics to make better use of modern displays.
We've also filled out the character selection page with new backgrounds, as well as updates to existing ones.
Each act now has a fairy equivalent to save. Try to save them all for maximum benefit!
There've been a lot of small tweaks and balance changes in this update.

Hey all! This update has been a long time coming, and features a bunch of new content, including an new unlock-able game mode, Steam Workshop custom level support, Steam Achievements, and more. As always, thanks everyone for supporting us all this way, and an extra big thank you to our beta testers! To skip to the full patch notes, click here

Hard Mode

Although some of us feel like the game is hard enough as is, our most die-hard players have been asking for more challenge. Well, we hope our new hard mode does the trick! Featuring all new boss variants, champion versions of normal monsters, and respawning enemies, we hope you don't mind dying.

Steam Workshop

With Steam Workshop support, you can use the new in-game Level Editor to create, test, and share custom levels. Simply press F9 on the character select screen to get started. To play other people's levels, simply subscribe to their content on the Workshop and then jump into the game. If you have questions, feedback, or a bug report, the best way to reach us now is on our Vagante Developer Discord.

Development Overview

In terms of level content, Vagante is nearly complete. From the very beginning of development, we planned four main acts of content, as well as four unique branches. With each of these areas now in the game, all that remains is the final end-game content. We hope the ending will reveal a little more of the world’s lore as well as wrap up our game in an appropriate manner. After we finish the last area and game ending, we still need to go back and do a lot of balancing and polishing. We also need to flesh out the level generation rooms and add additional content such as items and backgrounds. Suffice to say there’s a lot of work to do, but I’m personally excited by how close we are to a version 1.0. More details about this new update and patch notes below.

Item Generation

In a single Vagante run some players collect nearly 100 items. Even if a player throws away an old piece of equipment, they have a good chance to find a similar one later on in the run. We want items to feel unique, such that players get attached to the rare items they have. To that end, we’ve added a new classification of item rarity now, artifacts. Artifacts spawn with a unique item attribute which can only ever be found once per a run. While items from boss chests are much more likely to be an artifact, they can rarely be found in normal chests too.
Some existing unique items have been marked as artifacts as well, such that you’ll never find more than one of these items in a run (Ring of Seltioc, Ring of Zygox, and the Grappling Hook are examples).

Patch Notes

New/Balance

• Added new type of item rarity to item generation, Unique
• Added a couple of new unique item attributes
• Added a short windup-time before BossGolem throws a boulder
• Jumping up and hitting the bottom of a boulder that’s resting will now push it away slightly 
• Re-enabled per-packet compression (reduces bandwidth used by online games by ~10%)
• Added support for unicode chat and player names in online games.
• Before now, unicode characters from other languages did not show up properly
• Added new sound effects for enemies in The Catacombs
• Added engine support for other languages

Bugfixes

• Fixed hitbox of BossGolem not quite matching the animation when it jumped
• Fixed hitbox of Necromancer bone summons’ attacks
• Fixed bug where players could throw bombs into themselves when aiming downwards
• Fixed bug where thrown items did not stack properly when picked up again
• Fixed the arms of BossTowerSerpent not drawing correctly
• OMP: Fixed a crash in Cultist’s blue-fire spell targeting
• OMP: Fixed a crash in BossWorm’s behavior
• OMP: Fixed a crash that could occur when using the Shackled shrine
• OMP: Fixed reconnection to the game not properly reloading affinities, resistances, bonus stats, and armor

[ 2017-07-03 22:27:06 CET ] [ Original post ]

While this is a small build content-wise, this update will help us polish the game further while we continue to work on the end-game content.

New/Balance

• Added better crash reporting support.
  • When players encounter a crash and choose to report it, we now include a snapshot of the program's memory (a minidump) in the crash report. Previously, we only retrieved the game log and a stacktrace of the error.
• Added developer analytics
  • We now collect some basic information to help us with balancing. The data collected includes the cause of a player's death and the player's character build. This feature can be disabled in the options.

This new build includes the new branch we've been working on. Although it's still a work in progress, we hope to get some early feedback. You'll find the entrance to The Factory in Act 4.
The resolution of fluid has been increased, to allow for more realistic and better-looking fluid movement. We hope this change will open up some interesting game mechanics in the future.
We've wanted to rework the worm boss for a while now. The new version of this boss is a little more interesting and challenging.

Just a small patch today that marks the end of our Halloween event.

• Fixed slimes lunging through boulders
• Fixed being able to be killed by Spikes while underwater

[ 2016-11-22 22:00:29 CET ] [ Original post ]

Today’s update includes a Halloween event, as well as a handful of larger changes that I’d like to take a moment to talk about. Players can now jump while attacking with light weapons If you’ve ever been in the situation where you’ve had a sword but found yourself struggling to hit a bat in a narrow corridor, this change may make sense to you. While experienced players could deal with most of these maneuverability constraints, we’ve found that combat feels more intuitive when allowing for jumping while attacking. This change only applies to lighter weapons however, so you won’t be able to jump while swinging a heavy axe. Increased attack range of unarmed attacks and CQC weapons Playing Wildling could be frustrating sometimes, due to the very short attack range of fist attacks. Increasing the based attack range of fists increases the viability of fist weapons, and incentivizes Wildling trees besides Animal. Increased base damage of bows Using a bow tended to not feel great, due to their low impact and high investment of drawing a string. Increasing the damage of bows increases the satisfaction of getting a fully charged hit.  Added a new lunging attack to Slimes We’ve also changed the behavior of Slimes (again). The rules for when slimes are able to deal contact damage felt a little unintuitive, especially for newer players. We’ve simplified slime contact damage to two cases: when slimes fall on your head, and when slimes do their new lunging attack. As always, we appreciate your feedback. If you have any suggestions, bug reports, or even complaints, please us know on our official forums. Thanks for your continued support.

New/Balance

• Added a halloween-themed event.
• Added Forest Temple to online multiplayer
• Added new broken shrine particles
• Players can now jump while attacking with light weapons
• Added a short backswing to stabbing weapons
• New Ghost sprite
• Increased attack range of unarmed attacks and CQC weapons
• Added a new lunging attack to Slimes
• Slimes now only deal damage while lunging, or jumping onto a player
• Increased base damage of heavy axes
• Increased base damage of bows
• Boss Plant now has a new attack pattern

Since Vagante first arrived on Steam two years ago(!), we've kept to a biweekly update schedule. While this schedule has worked out great in the past, as we near the game's completion we've found that we want to work on parts of the game which take longer than two weeks to complete. So instead of keeping to a biweekly schedule of smaller updates, we've made the decision to change our releases to larger and more interspersed updates. This will allow us to make our updates more substantial, as well as focus our efforts on the last big pieces of content for the game. We hope you understand our decision, and we appreciate everyone old and new sticking with us throughout our game's development. [spoiler]stay tuned for a

Smaller update, today. Just as a heads up, we may be behind schedule with the next update. Why? Well, we’re moving! It’s been a year since our team moved to Seattle. And while it’s been an incredible and productive experience living in a shared house and office, it’s time for a change. Not to worry though, once we’ve moved into our respective new homes you can expect us to be back on schedule.
