https://store.steampowered.com/app/1542360

Jump onto multiplayer and test your war machines with your friends!

This new DLC has been in development for a very long time. Thank you to the many players who have given us their feedback and called for this update, it has been great fun to build and really rewarding for us.

There is a huge list of features and changes, so be sure to check the change log below.

Many of you have been making military vehicles for a long time. We are so excited to see these vehicles now begin to function as such, as well as all your new creations and interesting weapon systems!

If you are not getting the DLC - not to worry - all the parts are added into the base game as cosmetic items, so workshop items will still be cross-compatible!

Coming soon to a Lost City of Gold near you! This October’s LCOG will feature 2 special blueprints, the Luxurious Element and Opulent Element. These new enchantments are part of the Gold element blueprint line.

Like all the LCOG blueprints, they’re not much use in a fight (in fact, only Spellblade Heroes receive any benefits from the Gold Element), but they are the most valuable enchantments available in the game. Enchant them on Luxurious or Opulent blueprints for BIG payouts!

We’ve given our logo a nice makeover with a bigger emphasis on crafting and adventuring. In addition, you can look forward to a cool new splash screen!

Hey, everybody! While we are preparing something very special for all The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante fans dozens of great games are released on Steam every day. And there's one that is definitely worth your attention - Vagrus - The Riven Realms.

Vagrus is a turn-based, open-world, dark fantasy RPG. Vagrus and its haunting world were born from decades of tabletop RPG campaigns played by the founders of Lost Pilgrims, which adds vastly to the game’s unique atmosphere and the richness of its setting.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/909660/Vagrus__The_Riven_Realms


The player takes the role of a vagrus - a caravan leader who strives to survive in a strange and dangerous dark fantasy world by leading a traveling company on all kinds of ventures.

What's inside?

A DARK REALM

A vast realm is yours to explore, filled with unique locations, strange factions, lurking dangers, and a slew of characters you can interact with.




BRANCHING NARRATIVE

A large selection of longer and shorter stories make up the game’s narrative in the form of events and quests. The choices you make in these can significantly affect the characters and the world around you.


TURN-BASED COMBAT

Take part in turn-based, tactical combat that involves your characters and a large variety of enemies, both humanoid and monstrous. Use a range of character skills and abilities to succeed. Fight against outlaws and monsters commanding your whole traveling company in pitched battles for resources.



RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Most journeys have to be planned and prepared for carefully, lest they end in disaster. Manage your supplies, cargo, and crew effectively to survive. Take on contracts and follow rumors or trade opportunities.



UNIQUE COMPANIONS

A wide variety of companions can work for you in versatile caravan roles, such as scoutmaster, guard captain, treasure hunter, or beast handler. Each companion comes with unique combat skills, background stories, and personal quest lines that can upgrade them further when you complete them.


POWERFUL FACTIONS

Ally yourself with mighty factions that shape the Riven Realms with their influence on commerce, brutal wars, and constant scheming. From prosperous Trading Houses to criminal syndicates and religious organizations, these groups offer powerful rewards and boons to those loyal to their cause. But take heed - befriending a faction will more than likely antagonize others.



If you are interested in getting a glimpse of Vagrus, check it out here.

Try your hand at Vagrus to see if you can make a profit while surviving in the wastelands!

In meanwhile, we're finishing some preparations to announce our next project, so stay tuned and don't forget to join our Discord!

Hello there,

In this update we added Linux port (a lot people asked for it). We tested it, it works fine.
We are keeping polishing the game. So we fixed a lot of bugs. There will be 2 more updates for Warstone. Please, if you see any bug, report it in the bug thread in the forum. We try to fix it.

Play with us,

Hello and welcome to the 4th Dev Diary for the upcoming Africa update. For this Dev Diary we return to the new content for 1.32; to be more precise, we will delve into the tropical Congo Basin. Afterwards we shall take a look at the Horn of Africa again to give you a status update of the region. Without any further ado, let’s get started!

We begin with a rather compact mission tree for Kongo.

The mission tree is split into three parts, which lead into two endgame missions with strong rewards. The first three missions from the right are classic conquest missions to unify the Kongolese culture group. Highlights of these missions are the expansion into the Zambia area, a colony in Lega, and permanent claims on the East Africa region.

The second column from the left deals with the establishment into a proper kingdom and its relations with the Europeans, as they try to colonize Africa. The highlights here are +75 support for Feudalism in your capital from the mission “Loango and Ndongo’s Fate”, and permanent claims on all provinces in Africa, held by a country with its capital in Europe.

The first column handles the religious concerns of Kongo and is very orientated on Fetishism. Every single mission reward is designed around the Fetishist faith. Should you switch your country's religion, you will lose the modifiers from this column. Additionally, the column allows you to gain a little bit more out of the Fetishist faith.
The mission “Meet the other Cults” allows your heir to follow a weaker version of your unlocked cults.
The cult for an heir has however only 50% of the effect. As an example: Cwezi as your cult for your ruler would give you +20% Improve Relations. For your heir it would be only +10% Improve Relations, which is still considerable.
You will lose the cult modifier for your heir should they ascend to the throne or should they die.

The mission “Shamanistic Alliances” fires the following event for you:

Your shaman can visit on your command a different cult and unlock them for your country. Hovering over any of the options will show a small tooltip telling you what the cult’s modifier is so you don’t have to look every single one of them up on the Wiki.
Cults from other religions are only available if you know of any country following this religion. Because of that you have the last option, which enables a decision to activate this decision later on again.
Also important to note: I think this is the first time we have a vanilla event with more than 6 options. You can scroll through the options using the scrollbar on the right side.

Speaking of religions for Kongo: The event for Christian missionaries reaching Kongo has received a facelift!

The event “Foreigners arrive in Kongo!” gets triggered as soon any European country discovers Kongo. Because it is not limited to Portugal only, it has four different descriptions for the cases that the Kongolese get visited by either the Iberians, the Pope, another Catholic country or, in fringe cases, by a non Catholic country.

What makes the event special however is that it affects your mission tree. By inviting the missionaries, you replace the first column of missions with Catholic missions at the cost of 1 stability and 20 Prestige. Also a random owned province becomes Catholic too.

The first mission requires you to convert your whole country to the Catholic faith. Because one of your provinces is already Catholic you could use rebels to do the job for you. Alternatively you can let the visiting missionaries do the job instead. After the event “Foreigners arrive in Kongo!” you will periodically get the following event if any Catholic country knows you, you are not Catholic, and you have not finished the mission “Repel the Christians”:


The event is a little bit special as the two options have a negative effect attached to them depending if you have chosen to become Catholic or to stay Fetishist.
Eventually your king will convert to Catholicism too if the dominant religion in your country is Catholic.

Both choices give you one last time to reconsider your religious decision you picked earlier. Both options can replace the missions again, but if you choose to do so you will lose 3 stability, so it is recommended that you pick the playstyle you want early on.

Highlights of the Catholic missions is the purchase of a cardinal from a European ally or from the Pope himself by completing the mission “Cardinal for Kongo”. Of course you will have to bribe the pope with 1000 Ducats, but the reward sure is worth the effort:

Also, while we are on the topic of Catholicism: there is another balance change for them, which is more fitting to the Catholics than -1 Tolerance to Heretics.

Finally a quick word regarding the final two missions and their rewards. “Protector of Africa” is quite simple as it “just” asks you to banish all the Europeans from Africa as well as having a really stable empire, giving you +10% Morale of Armies and Navies permanently.
The mission “Africa’s Hegemony”, which requires you to conquer great parts of Southern Africa, has a more unique mission reward.


Before we finish the Dev Diary, let’s take a quick look back at the Horn of Africa as there are some new changes.
First thing: Adal has its own specific missions, though not as many as its neighbor Ethiopia. They should help AI Adal survive against Ethiopia better and expand into its Somalian neighbors.

Highlights of the missions are an early army modifier which decreases Land Maintenance by 5%, gives 0.5 Yearly Army Tradition and, if Adal is at war with Ethiopia, increases Morale by 5% and Manpower Recovery Speed by 10%.

Adal also received some ideas unique to them too. Though it is debatable whether they would help AI Adal survive as we want to avoid giving a strong military bonus right at the beginning. Still, Adal deserves its an own set of ideas:
Next is the addition of a generic Horn of Africa idea set, which gives the five tags finally something better than +2.5% discipline:
Of course our formable Somalia has also gained some unique ideas too!
Shoutout to verinityvoid and nephilim2k for helping out with the ideas!

Another change we made is addressing some setup issues. First we have changed the terrain in the Mogadishu and the Northern Swahili Coast area, changing four provinces from steppes and savannas to farmlands.

We also adjusted the climate of the region too.

Finally a quick update regarding the Ç̌äwa unit:

Additionally Ethiopia has access to two estate privileges, which modify the role of the Ç̌äwa even further:

• Cawa Peacekeeper:
  
  • Land Maintenance Modifier: -15.0%
    
  • Rebel Suppression Efficiency: +25.0%
    
  • Movement Speed: -10.0%
• Cawa Conquerors:
  
  • Discipline: 2.5%
    
  • Recover Army Morale Speed: +10.0%
    
  • Reinforce Cost: +25.0%

Alright, that’s it for today! Next week Pavía will cover new monuments for 1.32. Have a nice week!

We just released our first big update for Bus Simulator 21. The update includes fixes for the save games issue some players were experiencing on their PC, a fix for the “Take off” mission in Seaside Valley as well as numerous other fixes and game improvements. Here are the detailed patch notes:

Bus Simulator 21 - Update #1 (PC)

Critical Fixes

• Prevent writing empty save game files - this fixes the future loss of save games (Sadly, lost save games unfortunately can’t be restored)
  
• Restoring access to save games you’ve been locked out of (missing permission issue) - you should now have the permission to use these save games again
  
• Saving now creates a backup of the previous save state, which is loaded if the most recent save got corrupted.
  
• Fixed a potential crash during the Tutorial

Improvements & New Features

• Added the option to reset controls to default in the Controls Menu (This does not include the steering wheel settings)
  
• Improved the confusing bus selection with keyboard and mouse. Now you can just click and hold to accept your bus choice. (The other/old method for accepting still works. For controller nothing changed)

Gameplay Fixes

• “Perfect stopping position” when Bus kneeling is on should now be more consistent (Before the kneeling of the bus often prevented this from happening)
  
• NPC drivers will now despawn when they cannot walk to their seat to prevent them from blocking the view in the bus cockpit
  
• Passengers no longer suddenly spawn in the bus if another player is driving the bus or bus is not on a route
  
• When taking over a bus from the depot, it no longer spawns with passengers and puts you directly into the driver seat
  
• Fixed a bug where the length and duration of a route was not calculated correctly
  
• District names are now only shown once per route

Multiplayer Fixes

• Player is now assigned the correct route when joining a convoy
  
• Joining a Convoy should no longer get the camera stuck on the previous bus
  
• Ambient assignments didn't show their reward text on clients, now they are shown for both server and client
  
• Locked Decals are now locked for everyone in a multiplayer session
  
• Driven buses, routes and drive events now also show up for clients on the payday screen in multiplayer
  
• Improved stability of the back part of bendy buses in multiplayer

UI Fixes

• Removed empty notification text when trying to activate cashier mode while driving, the camera will also no longer bounce weirdly in this situation
  
• General settings options now display the correct tooltip when hovering over them
  
• Fixed display of route duration while creating/editing a route
  
• Fixed texture of the selection square during bus and character customization. Instead of a white block it should now look nicer
  
• The ramp button in the action menu should now be correctly highlighted
  
• Moved the NPC (Non-Player-Character) and NPV (Non-Player-Vehicles) spawn rate settings to the company/session settings as they could crash the game when changed in the main menu
  
• Removed thousands separator from the resolution in the settings menu (1.080 is now 1080)

Buses

Bus fixes
• Fixed bendy bus joints. This prevents them from breaking apart when a player walks through them
  
• Fixed some seat adjustment issues - Before you had to use Numpad keys and not every keyboard has those, now it’s the Arrow keys (This can now also be rebound in the controls settings)
  
• Fixed wraps on the interior monitors for the MAN Lion’s City CNG Articulated
  
• Fixed floating stickers in a Scania bus
  
• Fixed wiper animation of MAN Lions City 18C
  
• Fixed bus LED displays showing the name of the next station twice

Bus improvements
• Improved steering curve on MAN Lion’s City A26 and Setra S 418 LE Business
  
• Added texture to the eCitaro interior lights
  
• Increase the intensity of lights in the eCitaro, and improved their performance

General Visual Fixes/Improvements

• Tweaked “Very High” Shadow Quality a bit, so it looks better than “High”
  
• Reduced stretching floors of rooms behind some windows
  
• Fixed Material of certain rocks when viewed from a distance
  
• Tweaked the quality of some trees when viewed from a distance
  
• Improved visual quality of some far away assets and fixed some that were broken

Map Fixes

Angel Shores
• Tutorial no longer gets blocked if the player closes the door before Mira unboards
  
• GPS in Mission #2 now always leads to the correct paint shop
  
• Made the first voice-over in Mission #2 conditional to prevent it from playing, even when the mission was already partially done
  
• Reworked UI Tutorial of mission #7 “Source and Sink” to make it more stable
  
• During the mission “Hop Off”, Mira can no longer get stuck in mid-air if the player doesn’t complete the mission goals as intended
  
• Made the Transit Station glass panels transparent again
  
• Fixed flying grass at multiple places
  
• Moved foliage into the correct sub-tile, which should result in less pop-in
  
• Removed some of the landscape holes where people got stuck
  
• Fixed player being stuck on an NPC bus de-spawning in depot

Seaside Valley
• Detection for the first objective of the mission “Take off” now works correctly

General Improvements

• Improved memory usage of missions

Note: We are aware of a bug concerning the backup of steering wheel settings. This bug causes the deletion of such settings and hinders you from creating new bindings. Should this come up, you will observe that the binding menu simply closes causing the game to be unresponsive to any inputs. This situation can be solved by deleting the "InputPreset" file in the following location:
C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\BusSimulator21\Saved\SaveGames\
We will release a hotfix to tackle this issue soon.

• New Easter Egg Character in the Snowy Mountain area

• Eggs could be destroyed by a bomb which made the quest impossible to complete. They are now indestructible.
  
• After feeding Boris he would still give the same response. Also you receive more money for that quest.
  
• Having a skull in your inventory would turn into an egg when reloading the game. This is now fixed.
