Vagante

Patch 54b

  • Fixed a crash related to fire-water interaction.
  • Fixed a typo in an item name (Woodsman's Axe)

Build 54

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.


Potions other than healing potions tended to feel inconsequential. We've added new potions that offer permanent effects that we hope increase the usefulness of potions.


New/Balance



  • New Branch: The Factory (WIP, offline only)

Halloween Update - Build 53
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.

Patch Update Schedule
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.


stay tuned for a 🎃 update
