Hi everyone,

We've refreshed the trailer for Vigilantes, to provide a better representation of the game's features and visuals as they stand. In case you haven't seen it, here you go!

Vigilantes will make its early access debut on 5th October with the V20 build, which we are currently finalising.

If anyone has a favourite let's player or streamer who plays turn based tactics, please consider letting them know about Vigilantes, or telling us who they are, so we can get in touch.

All the best,
Daithi

Hello again!

Hope you're having a good weekend. Vigilantes version 19 has just gone live. This update is somewhat different from previous releases: rather than committing a considerable chunk of time to building new features, we've emphasised tweaking existing features, balancing and bugs fixes. If you'd like to get a detailed run down of the changes, you'll can find out more in the below development video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsUQYR2xl9M



Improved Pacing & Character System Finalised
We've made the changes to the character system and number of enemies we discussed two updates back. Overall, the pacing is considerably better, there are less stat and perk points, but more powerful perks. Finally, by getting skill points, you have more control over how Sam and his allies develop.

Improved Interrogation
The interrogation system has had two key changes. First, if you encounter an enemy who can provide intel on gang lieutenants or rackets, you can choose which to get information on, and whether to get intel on a new or existing racket/lieutenant. Second, if all enemies have been killed, or are unconscious, you can now search their bodies for intel. This provides a slower route to locating each gang's leadership, but allows players who have opted for a more violent route to make progress.

Enhanced Armour Mechanics
The protection armour provides now degrades more quickly. The intention here is to introduce an additional layer to combat, by making damaging armour a potential strategy and allowing for an armour destroying melee character build, which will be useful for softening up tougher enemies. Blunt weapons do additional armour damage passively, and the effect can be enhanced by a new perk, wrecking ball.

Other Notable Additions
+Gang leaders and rackets can now be located and attacked
+Added Church of the Final Exodus Racket Map
+Restored weather conditions (rain and storm)
+Targeted attacks now cost +1AP, but their effects are more profound
+First 3 missions are now preset, and will introduce you to doc, cuda & a random ally
+Improved keyboard support

There's quite a lot more in the full release notes here
if you'd like to check them out, and if you'd like to chat about the update or Vigilantes in general, I'll be here, working on version 20 :)

Hello!

Hope you're having a nice weekend! Version 18 of Vigilantes is now available. Version 18 represents one big, final push to deliver a number of features we felt would substantially benefit Vigilantes, emphasizing features which enhance tactical depth. Now you can set ambushes with overwatch, delay your turn to outmaneuver opponents, and punish enemies attempting to disengage with attacks of opportunity. Furthermore, characters can now sustain injuries, which reduce stats, and can be healed by time, by Doc, or D.I.Y. healthcare.

An ally relationship system has been added, which provides stat bonuses to allies who approve of your actions, along with a reputation system, which, depending on how much chaos you cause, will determine how some NPCs react to you, and the outcome of your crusade against crime in Reiker City. Finally, we've added hand drawn portraits for most of Vigilantes' characters, 2 new maps, and fixed a number of bugs.



It's been a busy, intense 3 weeks and 6 days. If you'd like to get more detail on the additions and improvements, you can find out more in the below development video:

As always, if you'd like to chat about any aspect of Vigilantes, I'd be happy to!
