Greetings, Hunters!

<span class="bold">Victor Vran</span>, an action filled next step in aRPG design, is available now for Windows and Mac - complete with GOG Galaxy Achievements, DRM-free, and 10% off for the first week!

In a genre that's seen immense highs and extended lows, it seems that we're always waiting for the secret formula for the perfect action RPG. Some say it's all about an overwhelming amount of loot, upgrades and treats galore. Others choose to experiment with new and innovative ways to connect their players, or to give them new types of control over making their character one of a kind. Victor Vran brings its own answers to the table.

It's a game that places movement and action first, truly putting the "action" in the aRPG, eliminating the boundaries of a traditional class system, and opting for freeform gear-based progression. A combat-oriented approach doesn't mean that Victor Vran is lacking in the other departments either - there's plenty of loot to collect and increasingly awesome weapons to find (including what looks an awful lot like a lightsaber) as well as innovative character progression. All that's there, however, is enhanced by an unprecedented movement system that will have you (and up to 4 of your co-op buddies) leaping, dodging and wallrunning. It's a game where survival is based on so much more than how hard you can hit.



GOG.com Exclusive Bonus
For a little something special, your copy of the game will come with a one-time-use GOG.com-exclusive Treasure Key! Just log in to your GOG.com account, start your single-player game, and redeem it in-game for a fountain of gold and the following drops:

- Med Kit (Legendary) - An endless healing potion.
- Hope Destiny Card (Uncommon) - Provides additional health when equipped. Can be equipped on level 2.
- Diamond Demon Power (Uncommon) - Creates a protective shield. Can be equipped immediately.
- Gift Box - A box that can be opened for random loot.
- Red, Green and Blue dyes - Used to colorize your outfit. Transmutation unlocks at level 16.

Boyan (Lead Designer) and Momchil (Designer) from Haemimont Games will be visiting our forums on Monday (July 27) starting 6pm GMT (8pm CEST / 2pm EST / 11am PST to answer all your questions about the game, the life behind game development, or their favorite type of sandwich.

HijacK: It would have been easier to just explain what you get online as a sharing code you simply get as different loot offline (since loot is randomized if I understand correctly) without the sharing code. Just for yourself. Offline. Off-the-grid. The way so many people here like it.
I have up further somewhere in the abyss. As you said, 'tunnel vision'; which sums it up oh too fricken nicely. I'm so angry for even attempting speak sense to these people. I feel like typing up just how angry I am with many curse words in a wittily articulated sentence or two but I'm just going to leave quietly. I'm out, for good.

micktiegs_8: that logic is just stupid... no better way to say it.
your logic is stupid.... if a game block a bonus with online log in, I call it drm. On gog I want only 100% drm-free games.
you say it's not drm because it's just a cheat code, I say that it's a cheat drm code.

HijacK: You know what? I'll take you on that offer. I'll just sit back and float and enjoy the show. I mean, if one can laugh at people doing and saying ridiculous things on the internet how is this any different?
avatar
CarrionCrow: Might as well. This isn't a discussion, it's not constructive, nothing of actual importance is happening, no hearts or minds will be changed.
The only question is, do you want to be one of the people enjoying themselves, or one of those who aren't? =)
It's been getting better and better. That Portuguese saying really made me laugh a bit. Picturing it in my mind makes for really hilarious scenarios.

jsjrodman: Unfortunately rude assertions will not remove the server-side logic that prevents the side quest content from being available.
I'm kind of done talking to you since you have no idea what you're talking about and only spreading lies. If you had actually read the thread you would would have seen this:

In any case, enjoy your victim bubble. Cheers!

Firstly, I am not speaking from reading only this thread. I went to the steam forum and read the considerably larger amount of information posted by the developers themselves before coming back here with the confirmation that this feature is implemented only on server-side logic, and thus cannot be encountered without their servers authorizing it.

Secondly, that post you reference specifically confirms what I just said.

But it seems you are not interested in any information which contradicts your preconceived notions.

Meanwhile, your attempts at ad hominem are as crude as they are distasteful. Please do not behave this way in the future.

Let me spell it out for you nicely since I don't want my Australian buddy here to flip out on you and get the rage of simpletons who don't understand basic logic.

The game doesn't offer bonus content, nor does it block it, since it cannot block something that doesn't exist. What this code does is simply move a few kilobytes of data around the game folder and into your character information. It's a pretty nice way of giving people something when that something is NOTHING! It's like saying: "Here, for y'all that have no idea how console commands work and don't even wanna bother with them."

In response to your anger, I offer this.
Not as mockery, but as a way to sit back, relax, laugh at it all and go on.

Also, I've got a spare umbrella for you as well if you'd like one. =)

Oh, but please! Enlighten us. What information do you posses? As you can see I pointed you in the direction of actual information. All I see you do is "I read this, and I read that, and I am right and you are wrong" yet you can't even point to a source that proves any single thing that you've said. So far I've proven you're lying. What have you proven? You think I'm going to be the one in the wrong just because you state you read something who knows where?

I'm old and pretty anal about DRM.
However, I won't discuss whether this key-thingy is DRM or not, it's just that I find this to be a strangely imprudent system. I need an account for some of the game's features? Apart from this "share it with your friends"-nonsense, what's the benefit? Does that mean, in future I'll have to create an account for every game? That'd be hundreds of accounts, hundreds of passwords... This doesn't seem very practical. The key authentication will only work as long as the servers are alive, which will not be forever - so why do devs cripple their games on purpose? To sell the e-mail addresses? I don't get it.

What I find rather positive is the fact, that so many people here scream bloody murder. Whether it's justified or not, this "outrage" will - hopefully - make it harder for GOG to water down their No-DRM-attitude, should they decide to do so.

Let me tell you something simple.
It is not important what is the content that is unlocked, is the fact that there is something that is unlocked with the DRM that is wrong. I do not care if they only offer a potion that you can find with the first mob in-game.
The major fault is not of the developers, the major fault is that gog accepted.

micktiegs_8: So just because they gave you the option, you're completely against it? So, if the game released here with all the same features but didn't give announce that we had an appreciation gift, you'd buy the game??
Yes, I would have bought it without the need for the online activation (drm) of bonus content. I think that is obvious for a person that is serious about drm-free.

HijacK: . What information do you posses? As you can see I pointed you in the direction of actual information..
Please read that quote that you believe is actual information. It says

Indeed they are a drop, but they only drop if you are playing online. Since they are generated server-side, they drop only while playing online
On the steam forums, which you can read yourself, the developers state that the logic for selecting drops is implemented on their servers, which is WHY they only drop online. When offline, this game component is not implemented.

I should put on another pot of coffee and count how many unique users have actually posted to this thread.

I get the feeling the number I end up with would be hilarious. Might do that in a while. =)

Go to Humble Bundle then. I'm sure they'll be happy to accept someone as conservative and uncompromising as you.
Oh, and happy gaming! Since after all this gibberish and hogwash gaming is still about fun.

It seems that the user I have pointed you to has read the same forums as you apparently read. Why do you select only information that without a full context makes you look good?

I have selected the portion which demonstrates the veracity of my comment. I'm sorry if this is not considered sporting.

Oh, but the validity of your comment comes into question without a context, a context which was addressed in the forum post that I pointed you to. Touche. Regardless, if you don't want to support the devs, as always, be my guest.

I have stated one too many times, vote with your wallet. I personally don't care on what grounds, real or fabricated, you purchase or don't purchase a game. I'm just here spreading actual information. But for some reason this thread looks an awful lot like American politics. I can just see the arguments of Republicans and Democrats thrown around. And in the end, the losing independent individual, while still not getting elected still gets the good laugh out of it.
