A New Build is OUT - Patch 1.1.30 - Codename: Magnificatus est Controls
Today we are releasing a large patch with features that weve been talking about for some time, most of which are a reiteration from the post we released about a public Beta weeks ago. With that Beta now over, you can now scroll down to see all of the details regarding our implementation of full controller support, UI and text zooming, improved initial game loading times, and much, much more. Alongside these, we have also implemented a new pop-up window for players to see whats new when they load up the game, and a DLC catalog, which lets you see what content you already own, as shown below.
Indie Cup Celebration 2023 As part of our recent participation in the 2023 Indie Cup and this patchs release, we will be offering a 28% discount on Vagrus - The Riven Realms between the 22nd and 27th of February. So, if you have a friend who has been waiting to buy the game at a discount, now is the time!
Hand-held Porting, Screen Optimization, and Accessibility Were proud to finally release what our best and brightest pilgrims have been working on here at Lost Pilgrims Studio. The first major change is porting.
Included under porting is the optimization of Vagrus for all mobile devices, tablets, and, of course, the recently released Steam Deck. Naturally, the main goal of these projects has been to bring the game to a larger audience; an audience that can play on the move, which certainly suits turn-based games such as our own. Another key aspect it has allowed us to address is accessibility. Players have, at times, expressed concerns about the font size in Vagrus, and with us focusing on porting, we have also been able to implement a zoom feature for the PC client. We are still in the process of fine-tuning and fully integrating the feature, but we are confident that in doing so we will improve user experiences across the board. First, we optimized the formatting of the text to be legible on handheld devices. But is it possible to read all the wonderful prose that players have come to expect from the Riven Realms on a small screen, you ask? Absolutely! Just use the new double-tap to zoom in, as shown below.
Weve also included another screenshot of a closer view after the player has used the double-tap feature, of course! Check it out below.
Because we want to make sure that players user experience does not suffer even slightly while using a small screen, players will also be able to scroll or swipe to navigate the UI, as captured below with the Journal.
Heres the subsequent result of the player swiping left
Multi-platform Controller Support We have now implemented full controller support for standard X-box controllers and Switch gamepad layouts. Although everything should work on most other controllers, assuring that is our future goal and the feature needs to be adequately tested before we can ensure flawless functionality. We have created a modern navigation system on the UI and for all functions from scratch, specifically for controllers. In other words, it isnt simply the existing cursor-based system repurposed for controllers. Direct buttons have been assigned for specific functions to make things easier.
Selecting and switching between UI elements during gameplay is also comfortable.
What about analog stick use? Weve come up with a radial menu to best tackle that.
We have also implemented an easy drag & drop system to be used at various points of gameplay. We have simplified Perk selection and trading functions in settlements, too.
After a long time in development, we are ecstatic to finally release these new features, and hope that they will improve player experiences across all platforms. Now let's jump into the patch details: Important Note: Considering the extent of the 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 inbuilt reporting tool (F1 button), forums, and our Discord server. --------------------------------------------------

A vast continent is yours to explore, filled with unique locations, strange factions, lurking dangers, and a lot of characters you can interact with. In order to punish the Empire for their sins a thousand years ago, the Elder Gods manifested themselves in the world, letting loose powers that ended up devastating it. Following this Calamity, the Empire was slow to rebuild and became a dark caricature of its former image. The continent is now a wasteland, riddled with arcane anomalies, twisted monsters, and undead.
