In short: GameDevDays was phenomenal. The speakers and the community made it an absolutely amazing experience for us.

It started off a little rough considering that we could not borrow a reasonable size car for the trip to Graz and with all the tech equipment we needed to bring along it was a miracle that everyone could squeeze in. In the end we did get there even if a bit cramped. The next hoop we needed to jump was a mix-up with our accommodation (someone was already in the room we booked :O ) but eventually we solved that, too.

From then on, our trip just became better and better. The organizers of the show were helpful and easy-going, the venue was really cool for the size of the event, and then there were the speeches. It would be hard to list all of them, but our favorite two were probably Josh Sawyer (Obsidian) and Marta Fijak (11 Bit Studios).

The visitors who played Vagrus all praised its art, music, story, and enjoyed it so much that one guy that they often ended up playing for hours on end. Someone managed to establish a new record: he played for three hours straight. On the second day we had to put an additional laptop to work so more people could try the game without waiting for long.

The greatest moment of course was when RPG dev legend Josh Sawyer came to our table and played the game himself.



As the lead designer of many great RPG titles (Neverwinter Nights 2, Pillars of Eternity I-II, Fallout: New Vegas), Josh is a role model for us and his works are very important sources of inspiration, so him playing Vagrus and talking about RPGs was a dream come true. Our team was beaming when he joined us for a team photo, too (see the header image of this post).

The conference was an eye-opening experience from a community perspective as well. With support from the city of Graz and Technical University Graz but mostly thanks to the many dedicated organizers and volunteers from the gaming community, this event felt like everyone knew each other and looked at each other as friends. We listened to the local GamedevTunes orchestra with awe at the opening of the event and at the closing night-out, not only because they were awesome but because having a group so enthusiastic to practice and play on stage game soundtrack tributes from within an already small game developer subculture was almost unbelievable.









All in all, we had a great time in Graz and felt that we met more enthusiastic Vagrus fans than at any gameshow before. We would not be surprised to find ourselves attending GameDevDays Graz on future occasions as well.

Hey Steam,

August was a crazy busy month when it came to Omno. Not only was Omno demoed at Gamescom (Omno’s first-ever conference), but it was super well received! If you speak German you can read impressions on the websites Giga (secret Gamescom tips), Spieletipps (games you might have missed at Gamescom) and 4Players (Preview with verdict “potential hit”) that feature Omno with positive impressions (thanks so much!) and French speakers can check out video impressions from Gameblog with hopefully even more articles to follow soon.

September was all about knuckling down and really focusing 100% on the development of Omno after the excitement of Gamescom. All the positive energy received was funnelled right back into the development cycle and hopefully, you’ll agree, things are really coming along. Here is a small handful of work in progress screenshots of areas being worked on this month:





Firstly, a bunch of work has gone into the desert area in the game, adding some sequences, overhauling the overall layout to help the area’s flow, introducing new critters and much more.



And then there is the snowy biome, trying out some design ideas for that little downhill area that really makes the most of the “surfing” mechanic - kinda feels a bit like 1080 Snowboarding at times (if anyone else is old enough to remember that game :D). Still not 100% sure if this is something that will make the cut for the final game, but trying out these smaller set-pieces is really helping to form the overall idea of the journey through all of the different worlds and how they’ll all tie together, which is obviously super important to the game as a whole!



Lastly, a quick look at a new “updraft” mechanic being adding to the cloud biome. A really important thing for Omno is making sure all of the different biomes FEEL as different as they look, so focusing on unique game mechanics in each area is a really big part of that. This one’s a lot of fun - navigating the different flows of air to get to those hard to reach places, at a slower, calmer pace than many of the other things you do in Omno, which really changes the feel of things and gives you time to appreciate all the pretty things around you.

Anyway, hopefully, this gives you a little insight into a few of the things being worked on - development really is marching on, so more progress should be ready to share with you next month. As mentioned back in the May Kickstarter update, things are taking a little longer than initially anticipated the deeper into development we go, especially with the changes in scope made earlier this year after the surprisingly successful campaign. There is no still no exact date to tell you with any accuracy, but expect early Summer next year to be a realistic aim for Omno’s release, and that’s what is being worked towards. Of course, there will be more updates on this as things develop. More than anything else, Omno deserves not to be rushed and disappoint anyone, so hopefully, you understand and will be patient as work continues to deliver the best game possible to you all.

We’ll leave you with this, a new look at the canyon area of Omno. Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below.

The Battle Pass system is a new feature of the Conqueror’s Blade Season 1 update, by which you can increase the rewards you earn by progressing through a sequence of Tiers during the course of the Season. It is predicated on a new time-limited levelling system where you earn Glory points by joining battles and completing weekly Seasonal challenges. The more Glory points you amass, the higher your Nobility Tier and the more rewards you earn during a Season.



You can track your Seasonal progress via a new interface that becomes accessible when you reach level 10 and can be opened by pressing F5. It is represented on screen as a golden trophy icon to the left of the main toolbar.

There are four panels that comprise the Seasons interface:

• An Overview that displays your Nobility Tier and current Conquest Token total.
  
• The Rewards page that details the Free and Battle Pass benefits of each Tier (and also the screen via which you can buy a Battle Pass).
  
• A panel that details the current week’s Challenges, the successful completion of which earns you Glory. If you completely a certain amount of challenges each week, you get additional rewards via the Challenge interface!
  
• The Season Store, which is where you get to spend the Conquest Tokens awarded to you as part of Seasons gameplay.

Conquest Tokens (CTs) are specific to Seasons and form a large part of the potential awards that come from attaining a new Tier. Everyone is entitled to the Free rewards associated with specific Tiers, but if you have a Battle Pass (available for 1000 Sovereigns via the Rewards tab) you will be eligible to receive extra items and Conquest Tokens as you climb each new Tier. 

For example;

• There are no Free rewards at Tier 1 of Season 1, whereas those with a Battle Pass will receive ‘Grace of the Gods’ (permanent 50% boost to Glory for the Season 1 Battle Pass duration) and the ‘Stygian Order Attire Set’.
  
• At Nobility Tier 2 all players will receive a ‘Payroll Chest of Bronze Coins’, with Battle Pass owners also benefiting from 40 Conquest Tokens.
  
• Note: As you will retrospectively receive all the rewards up to and including those of your current Tier, you won’t lose out by waiting until later in the season before picking up a Battle Pass. 

It is possible to attain a Nobility Tier of 200 during the course of a Season, which will amount to dozens of items and potentially thousands of Conquest Tokens being acquired. As mentioned, those Tokens can be redeemed via the Seasonal Store, which features exclusive attires (for Warlords, mounts, units and weapons), schematics, War Scholar consumables (Battle Relic, Treatise), as well as items more commonly associated with the main in-game Store (XP cards and Premium Account time). As a guide, Seasonal Store prices range from 10 Conquest Tokens (for a 10-Battle Unit XP Card) to 3,000 Conquest Tokens (for the stunning Turul Set). 

Please be aware that as a feature of Seasons gameplay, Glory points, Nobility Tiers and their stated Rewards are all reset prior to the start of a new season. Of course, you get to keep all the items you’ve been awarded through having a Battle Pass, however, the benefits of having a Battle Pass do not carry over into a new season. Battle Passes bought during a season expire when it ends.
