Latest Steam announcements

  • Final Update - 28 May 2017

    This update includes the updated art assets for the back wall of the arena. You will notice much higher quality models as well as new hand painted textures. We also finally got some bug fixes is for the Lightning Knight: You should no longer be able to dash off the map or through walls. Teleporting will now show the lightning bolt where the player lands, not where the ability was used. This was behaving strangely when trying to teleport to an area outside the walls. This will likely be the last update for Vanguards. It was built as a student project and we are extremely happy with the success it has found on Steam and the feedback we have received from players. We thank you for playing and hope you continue to enjoy playing Vanguards!

  • Graphics Settings and Optimizations! - 8 November 2016

    I have been working tirelessly since release to improve the playability of Vanguards. The game is still not perfect but I believe this should help with many of the issues addressed by players. I have added in multiple Graphics options that should help FPS drastically on lower end machines. I tested on a machine getting 8-10 fps using default settings ("Epic") and when I switch it to "Low", it went up to 30+. I have also added the ability to change between Fullscreen, Windowed Fullscreen and Windowed. There should also be noticeably less lag in PvP games and I have added a "Ping" tracker in the top left. Note that the game plays better with a wired connection. I am working on improving the how the game handles high latency situations (currently movement gets choppy with high latency) Thanks for playing Vanguards! -Tensai
