​Dev Update #33: Community Highlights     ​

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.If you’re looking for a trusted place to spend your time and link up with like-minded Vampires for a unique experience, whether it’s your first or tenth play-through, check out these amazing communities!The V Rising Mod CommunityFirst up is a bit of an anomaly in the list. Though the other communities we’re promoting are in-game servers, this is a bit of a meta pull. The V Rising Mod Community is a Discord dedicated to collaborative efforts of mod developers.From V Rising Mods:“The V Rising Modding Community takes things apart (usually on purpose) to see what we can get away with in ways that are occasionally clever, occasionally dangerous, and frequently both. It’s a matter of poking at the underlying logic, comparing notes, and seeing if it can be talked into doing something it wasn’t originally designed for (provided you ask it very quickly and in exactly the right order).Hundreds of mods on Thunderstore, with more than half updated for the current game version.Shared frameworks and open source mods for compatibility, learning, and security.Both public and private modders are asking questions and sharing ideas.Want somewhere to play? There are plenty of options out there. Want to know how it works or make it do it differently?

Maybe it’s fitting for yours as well?From Paradise Rising:“Paradise Rising is an EU V Rising server built around a curated, beginner-friendly PvE/PvP experience with a casual but challenging feel. We use a Soft-Brutal setup with light QoL mods and enhanced boss encounters, keeping the gameplay close to vanilla while adding enough spice to make progression feel rewarding. Our focus is on a stable, welcoming, community-first environment for both new and returning players who want to enjoy V Rising without the usual high-pressure sweat. Active moderation, a relaxed atmosphere, and regular wipes every 3 weeks to help keep the experience fresh and consistent.”For more information on how to join up, you can find them und
