Hey everyone.
It's been a long road, and the super exciting time of release is upon us!! :D

Mark your calendars, tell your friends, join the Discord, and get ready for adventure!


Evil is afoot. Bounding into monster-infested lands with newfound magic, YOU must restore the beloved Fate Stone before evil consumes the land. Explore the magical, pixel-art haven, find new creatures, craft equipment, make a unique assortment of friends, and master your practice of Witchery!
Delve into the four main skill branches: Combat, Witchery, Harvest, and Necromancy to become stronger, and fight back the forces of evil!

ON AUGUST 25TH


Ahem...

Making Serin Fate and sharing part of that journey with fans and in the Discord has been AWESOME.
Come hang with us, and I'll be there listening, NOW and on August 25th release day, for your thoughts and experiences with the new 1.0 build!


Without further delay... Here is a first look at what you can expect come release day! Enjoy~


Out of all the new content coming in 1.0, I would like to highlight just a few fun changes... Let's start with a personal favorite, Necromancy!


If you so choose to go to other-worldly lengths to train Necromancy, you will unlock Auras... Or powerful and toggleable passives that drain your Pool (Necromatic Mana) over time. Strategic Aura management can turn the tides of a battle, or even cheat death!!

And to answer the question we're all thinking...
YES!
You can raise a tiny undead army of destruction!!


Perhaps it's not your thing? Fair enough, how about Storm Turtles!?
Acquiring one of these majestic creatures allows flying-travel to many places around the world map.
Here is a short video to see more about them!


Speaking of wondrous creatures... There will be 50 species of Chimera roaming the lands in Serin Fate on August 25th! Find them, take care of them, and their powerful Magic attacks will take care of you!
For the Chimera you aren't using, or that are just taking a snooze in a pen, viewing and interacting can be done easily in the new interface.


Serin Fate has more QOL and extensive options than ever, and now has full X-input support for PS4, Xbox, Switch, and Steam controllers... Kick back and try it out!


Now... For the story! Serin Fate has an epic adventure that will send you seeking the five long-lost Shard of Fate... On your journey through the different biomes in SF, you will have to use your skills of combat to defeat atrocious Monsters, your wits to solve puzzles, and rely on friends to overcome obstacles... Don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for Chimera or hidden obelisks!


A lot of time has been spent polishing mechanics and aesthetics - everything from ground textures, paths, lighting and clothing styles, to new NPC portraits!



Check out this new shop, for all your Ru-Nic-Nak needs :D


Don't forget to swing by and have a listen once the OST is live!!


As always, thank you all again - I look forward to your feedback, suggestions and come chat on...
AUGUST 25th


Here's a short live announcement and diary from me, about the upcoming launch!


Serin Fate is published by Crytivo.
And a BIG thanks to the team over there for all the help and support.


Serin Fate - Vethergen
Hey friends!
Version 0.5 is finally live... The LAST update before release!

This update rounds a TON of edges, brings a bunch of new content, and makes the game more awesome than ever. I feel really good about the state of 0.5 and the play experience as a whole at this point.

Without further delay, let's look at a few things that will be there in 0.5!

Important announcement at the end!

At a glance, here is a quick list of some of the main additions:


First up, there are more than 10 new Monsters that can be encountered and battled. You'll find these Raizor Wraiths in the Void.



Some of the new Monsters are VERY strong, but... All is not lost. There are countless balance changes and new attributes to allow you to customize a strong build against the Forces of Darkness!


There is even a new combat mechanic "Blade Whirl"!
Consume some of your precious Mana, and hurl your equipped weapon at Monsters dealing powerful blows and apply on-hit effects.


Aside from combative obstacles, Serin Fate has gotten a bit more tricky with "The Trial of the Moon".
Without spoiling much, here's a tiny peek.


How about these majestic Storm Turtles? You'll have to talk to Gokiki the Sage and figure out how to communicate with one...


There are many quality of life improvements coming in 0.5, such as crafting from the Magic Box chest type, and the new Chimera Pen inspection.


I don't want to share TOO much more ahead of time... Ok... One last thing! There is a new town layout and NPCs... Meet Laurent.


Serin Fate has truely become the game I dreamed of making and set out to create some years ago...
It has been a massive undertaking and the entirety of this mechanic list is now a reality.

Even now, Serin Fate is offering 40+ hours of playtime, and the time has come...
As I've talked about on the Steam early access and social platforms, Serin Fate will be receiving a moderate price increase to 20.00$ USD, to fairly reflect the quality and scale that the game has become. This change is currently live.


Thank you for your continued support as I bring Serin Fate to full release later this year, complete with an epic storyline, bursting with end-game content, and finished with polished controller support and language localizations.

If you have questions or just want to hang, I (and over 1000 others) would love to meet you on Discord.


Thank you all again - I look forward to your feedback and suggestions.


Lastly, here is some awesome featured fanarts from the Discord!

Hey everyone, I hope you have enjoyed the last update to 0.4! Any feedback you may have is very appreciated, so please leave a review on Steam -- It really helps support the project.

It is finally release year, and things are looking AWESOME!!

This year of development is going to be huge for wrapping up loose ends, finishing the story and giving Serin Fate the solid progression back bone it deserves.


There will also be controller support for a variety of PC Xinput gamepads and a bunch of language localizations for people who don't want to play in English.



I don't want to spoil tooo much before the end, but check out this dragon... His name is Legend.
You will find him perched atop Twilight Peak in the Sun lands.


I hope you like the progress, and are as excited as I am about the future of Serin Fate. There are many other things in the works, as usual.
I’d love to chat with you on Discord, and hear your ideas and thoughts. Together we can make Serin Fate the best it can be.


Thank you all for your interest in Serin Fate and joining me onward down the road of development.

Hey friends! I want to keep it short, as we're finally right on the verge of a major update.
This update will happen roughly in mid November, and is going to make the experience so much more awesome for returning players, and especially new ones.

Lots of progress was made in October, and you'll find it in the update.
The Magic continues to grow! :)

Hey everyone! For those of you playing Serin Fate already, I hope it’s been a good experience. Any feedback you may have is very appreciated, so please leave a review on Steam -- It is the absolute best way to support the project.

Now, as the holiday season approaches, so comes the time for the next big content update, which is going to be AWESOME!! I really think this next one is going to round a lot of edges...
Let’s check out some of the additions in September.

As you’d expect, development continues in the Nymbus Isles.


Which brings lots of new Items you can find, craft and use.


And new environments to traverse, like this shallow water… Be careful! Being in the shallows will slowly regenerate some HP, but can be deadly in a lightning storm!


Now… Perhaps the coolest addition this month is the complete re-work of combat.
Combat is now much more engaging, and fun! You can finally wield and use Swords & Staffs to fight enemies (along with other semi-combative items).


Here is me wielding a Nature Staff. Staffs have the awesome ability to charge up by holding the attack button - Doing so will consume Mana but yield MUCH greater damage!


There are many other changes with the combat, and how it now functions with Chimera, but we’ll save that for another time.

Lastly, there are countless little changes and functionality improvements, like this new status display, tree wiggle shader, and placement-range indicator.

Trees may start to wobble in rain and storms, for a fun visual, and will scare off any flyers that were atop.


The ability to hide the display, is great for a screenshot, or just cleaning up the clutter.


And these indicators make designing your garden and Chimera pens much easier, and spatially efficient!


I hope you like the progress, and are as excited as I am for the next content update that will be coming!
I’d love to chat with you on Discord, and hear your ideas and thoughts. Together we can make Serin Fate the best it can be.


Thank you all for your interest in Serin Fate and joining me onward down the road of development.

If you want to chat with me directly, or just hang with other Witches:


Let's take a look at this month... We’re heading to the beach!


In August I set whales to the Storm Biome… Yes whales.


This is a Nymbus Whale named Kumo - You’ll have to convince him to give you a ride, if you want to reach Nymbus Beach. The stormy weather surrounding the Nymbus Isles is too destructive for normal sail ships!

The Storm Biome is just getting started, but will bring all sorts of new obstacles, flora, and fauna… Like these little Hermit Crabs!


There is Hermit racing… Ahem. That’s all I’ll say about that.


Most of the work has been done towards the Nymbus Isles this month, however as usual, there are many new additions like these:
The Autumn Forest may appear to be deeper and darker.


You may find shooting stars at night while dreaming, they can be caught!


And lastly for now, Serin Fate has got some shiny new cover art.


I hope you like the progress, and are as excited as I am for the next content update that will be coming!
I’d love to chat with you on Discord, and hear your ideas and thoughts. Together we can make Serin Fate the best it can be.

Hey everyone! For those of you playing Serin Fate already, I hope it’s been a good experience. Any feedback you may have is very appreciated, so please leave a review on Steam -- It will help the future of Serin Fate… Now, let’s take a look at what is coming!

The month of July has been focusing on aesthetics.
First off, all of the races are now playable - You can be a Human, Val, or a Serin.
Here is me, as a Serin:


Along with visual appearances, any awesome “source items” you may find, such as this Star Wand, will be visible and may have fun visuals while you go about your Witchy business!


Lasty, for aesthetics, I’m in the process of re-pixeling all of the trees. You can see two of the new ones here:


Moving on… To Items!
This month brought almost a whole inventory worth of new Items to discover, craft and loot.


A few of my favorite Items this time around are the Chimera Barn and Magnetic Chest!
The Chimera Barn is great for letting your Chimera “hibernate” and has other special uses I’ll let you discover on your own.


And for the neat and tidy, the Magnetic Chest is fantastic for keeping your place orderly and sorted.


Last but not least, there is a new enemy and a whole new DEX Stat Attribute.
Here is the Snap Dragon. You’d better stack up your Runic Unitys, if you plan on fighting these fiery flyers!


The DEX stat further adds to your build’s flexibility, and allows for all sorts of interesting stat and item combinations.


I hope you like it, and are excited for the next update that will be coming!
I’d love to chat with you on Discord, and hear your ideas and thoughts. Together we can make Serin Fate the best it can be.


Thank you all for your interest in Serin Fate and joining me onward down the road of development.

Serin Fate - Vethergen
Hey everyone! For those of you playing Serin Fate already, I hope it’s been a good experience. Any feedback you may have is very appreciated, so please leave a review on Steam -- It will help the future of Serin Fate… Now diving in!

It has been a long and productive 3 months since the first Early Access version was released, and Serin Fate has come a LONG way.
Let’s take a look at some of the main cool additions in this update!

First off, Serin Fate has an epic storyline planned out, and that has begun to take shape. You’ll delve into the inner workings of the World and begin to unravel the plot line! This includes an extensive tutorial for you new Witches!


Next up is World development. A new Biome has become playable, nearly doubling Serin Fate’s playable area size -- The Sun Biome. In the Sun Biome, you’ll need special “Heat Proof” gear to traverse it, otherwise you’ll suffer the fiery heat... Adventuring under the cover of night is also an option!


And next is maybe your favorite? Chimera! There are 20 new Chimera species that you can find, battle with, and care for at your house. There are 10 new Storm Chimera, and 10 Moon.
If you really like to care for them, you can now breed them… In the right conditions, any of the current 40 Chimera species may partner up and lay eggs… Who knows what powerful little Chim will hatch?


Now… Let’s talk a bit about Witchery. There are some new mechanics and ways to use your precious Mana. As a Witch, you can now establish a Mana Link! Creating a Link has many uses, such as growing plants more quickly, harvesting resources, activating Magic relics, and you can even speed up time!


On top of Mana Links, there is an arsenal of new spells at your disposal, including fishing spells, gathering spells, teleportation spells and more… This is Ignite (use with caution)!


Ok this is all pretty casual so far… Maybe you like a challenge? I do too! Hard mode is now activatable. Playing on Hard Mode is very dangerous; Monsters are much stronger and death is permanent, but there are XP and loot bonuses for the courageous Witch...


Hard Mode or not, enemies have lots of new combat dynamics, and you may find some new Monstrous lurkers at night!


With all this talk of enemies, you’ll need new items, and there’s a whole trove of them to aid you on your adventures. I recommend the Storm Staff if you want to make quick work of your foes!


Guys… I could go on and on, there are countless nuances and hidden depths, loads of rich new NPC dialogues, things to do, places to explore, balance changes, a whole new fancy UI, options menu, and patch note display… There is even a new somewhat secret mechanic, that I’ll let you discover on your own!

To give a general perspective, there are currently:
- Two whole Biomes
- 40 unique Chimera Species
- More than 20 Spells to learn
- More than 400 items to craft, gather, place and equip (that even surprised me)!
- And a whole lot of NPCs, Monsters, Key Items, Quests and adventure!


I hope you have tons of fun and enjoy the update!
I’d love to chat with you on Discord, and hear your ideas and thoughts. Together we can make Serin Fate the best it can be.
