The New and Improved Extras Menu
This week we’re excited to show off some recent revamps of our UI that we’ve been working on, namely a rework of the Extras menu point in the game’s main menu. The most important improvements here entail the ability to rewatch all Vagruscinematics, including the main campaign’s intro, as wel...
Creature Artwork – Salamander
This week we’re bringing you a glimpse of what some might consider slithering death. It is the Salamander, one of At the Heart of Ruin’smany new enemies. Just coming into contact with one would terrify even the most stalwart souls, as the look of malice in their eyes is inescapable, and their sp...

Dev Update - The Raptors
This week we’re gracing your web browsers and social media feeds with another teaser of our upcoming DLC. These characters belong to another gang that will attack you outright, for the Raptors are hardly a sane bunch. Most follow a descendent of their mysterious leader, who stumbled upon a rogue W...
Our Visit to the 16th Comic Festival of Szeged
The team of Lost Pilgrims was honored to be invited to present at the “16. Szegedi Képregényfesztivál” (the 16th Comic Festival in the town of Szeged, Hungary), an annual con of mostly graphic novels and comic books, but also many other things geeky. And so Gábor and Geri set out and travele...
Dev Update - The Hollow Men
For today’s post, we’re pushing it further with teasers, and we have one of this writer’s favorites in store: the Hollow Men. The Hollow Men are a gang of warriors, ex-legionnaires, and mercenary criminals, and they have a long history going back to Legio. IX, or “Mortis”, with their story...

Enriching and Delaying Our New Region DLC
As we approach the end of 2024, it's time to give an update on our upcoming DLC. While our hope was to release it this year, it has become clear to us that it is an unrealistic target. We cannot announce its release date just yet, but we can be sure that it will take at least until next year to ...

For this week’s post, we’d like to draw attention to several pieces of artwork by our wonderful painter, Bence, or Benmonor. Bence is always ready to create multiple iterations of environmental paintings, filling Xeryn with awe-inspiring art. Here we have included a few of his works that quietly...
The Evolution of Vagrus's UI
Today’s post takes a short trek down memory lane. Long, long ago, before any of the team at Lost Pilgrims sported grey hairs, we set about creating the UI for the game – an indubitably difficult ask for any game studio. Yet despite any trepidation, we forged forward and created one of the first ...
Ben the Human and Our New Store Page Video
As most of you are aware, we use a video – meant as a kind of introduction to Vagrus– at the top of our store page. While this feature is exclusive to Steam, we have been meaning to replace it with a more up-to-date version for a while now. The old one with Kormakr was a fine video, but a lot ha...

Dev Update – Bloodletting Miscreants
Today we have a delectable treat for you: new enemies from our coming DLC (which is swiftly becoming expansion-sized). These sick, depraved would-be tribesmen don’t exactly look like the types of folk you’d have around for dinner; however, they would love to have you! You can tell just from thei...

Well, one lost pilgrim to be precise. On 7th September, I was fortunate to have participated in Fighting Fantasy Fest 5in the UK, representing Lost Pilgrims there in exhibiting the City of Thieves graphic novel I’ve been working on with Chameleon Comix’s founder Gyula Szűcs and mega-talented gr...
Chunky DLCs and Price Increases
This week we’d like to broach a matter for the sake of transparency. Reality in the context of global gaming industry trends has set in, and the result is hard times for everyone. We are no exception and, since we have an insatiable desire for creating qualityDLCs, this has left us in a rather pre...
Our Dedicated Demo (Prologue) Page
Hey everyone,So Steam has updated its policies related to games sold on the platform, eliminating direct links from one page to another. This means that our main Vagrus pagecan no longer link to our Demo (Prologue)and vice versa. Before this was the case, we had our Demo (Prologue) set up as a diffe...

Quality of Life: Key Bindings and Comitatus UI
After last week’s feedback round-up, the bulk of the team has been focusing on delivering the quality of life (QoL) changes we spoke of roughly two weeks ago, which by now include a great deal of things.

To celebrate the release of Old Acquaintancesin a somewhat different fashion than usual, the team gathered for a long-awaited session of boardgaming last week.

As we’ve already discussed at some length, along with the release of Old Acquaintances, we have included various new main menu backgrounds, and today we’d like to talk a little about the one that pertains to Javek: the oasis. When things take off the ground in the DLC, it is the sorcerer’s pla...
