Calling All Vampires!

 

It’s time for a blood transfusion!

 

Starting at 19:00 CET on May 14 and ending at 19:00 CET on May 18, V Rising will be free to play!

 

Never has there been a better time to turn the unconverted to the bloody ecstasy of the Vampire lifestyle. There are yet still many foolish mortals who have not been lured into the dark joys of the hunt for blood, and this is your opportunity to show them the way. During this weekend at absolutely no cost, anyone with Steam can download V Rising and indulge in all the horrors and delights Vardoran has to offer.

Dev Update #33: Community Highlights

Posted on by

 

 

Greetings Vampires!

 

Here in the Stunlock Studios crypts, we’ve been carefully gathering your feedback and wishes for an upcoming balance and bug-fix patch. There’s been a tremendous volume, about three times as much as our last feedback form, and it’s given us a lot to think about. We’re going to talk about that a bit more soon in a more in-depth post!

 

In the meantime, we thought this would be a great opportunity to turn your attention towards some community-run servers and projects. Each of these is a long-standing project run by passionate and dedicated Vampires. They’ve put serious effort into creating their own communities and exemplary creative works that carve out unique niches within V Rising.

Dev Update #32: The Next Era

Posted on by

 

 

Greetings Vampires!

 

It’s been a while since we last checked in, a bit longer than usual. First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your patience and faith in us.

 

The V Rising community, while certainly having its faults (like draining the blood of the living to sustain its unholy existence, participating in dark magic rituals, and eating uncooked rats), has always been a bastion of earnest excitement united around the things we all love. We are all monsters for our passions.

 

Today, we’d like to share a bit of what we’ve been crafting and offer some clarity on the direction of Stunlock Studios and V Rising. We can’t reveal much just yet, but we don’t think even creatures of the night enjoy being left completely in the dark.

This competition had the most entries of any art contest we’ve held to date, and the competition was as fierce as ever! Let it never be said that the Vampires of Vardoran take their artwork any less seriously than they take their bloody hunts.
