As we are gearing up for the 1.0 release of Vagrus, we are finally coming around to implement the victory mechanics, which means that you will soon be able to complete a playthrough! There are caveats, of course, since we are still in early access, but we thought it was time to discuss what to expect (now and later).

The Design

Even in the first game design documents, winning the game was connected to Ambitions - Wealth, Fame, Knowledge, as well as some hidden ones perhaps. That is, you will select an Ambition at character creation and you win the game by reaching that Ambition through gameplay, then completing an Event that will reward you with a victory.

Freeplay

Once victory is achieved, the game will offer you to continue in Freeplay Mode. This is for fun or if you wish to complete some additional stories, because Achievements are turned off, and the longer you go, the less sense some stories will make when you put them in the context of time.

Victory Screen(s)

Once you complete a victory, you will receive a victory screen - for now. We are planning a series of screens touching upon the most important storyline states and companion questlines, but initially, only the single Ambition-related screen will be added, primarily because we want to hold back on story reveals and endings until 1.0. Also, only Renown Victory will be available for the time being as some things are still being worked out for the other two.

We are looking forward to hearing your reactions to the Renown victory and see how easy or difficult you find it to reach.

Stay tuned and conquer the wasteland!
