In case you missed it in our last update, over the next couple weeks we're going to be showing some examples of how you could combine different skills to create builds for a character.

Figuring out how to build effective character skill-sets for 5 characters that work well as a unit can be a ton of fun, and you have Aptitude utilities, spells and skills for all sorts of interesting and unique varieties of builds to play with.

Here's two examples:







We'll be updating the Online Manual prior to release with Grade 3 Spells and Skills so you can get an idea of what kind of builds you'd like to make before playing.

With the release just a little over a week away, we’re excited to show off our launch trailer! It showcases new areas you haven’t seen before, some new spells, neat puzzles and some of the voice acting from a wonderful VO that will be in the game, so we hope you’ll check it out!


Last week we signed on with GOG to distribute Serpent in the Staglands, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of their catalog! The game will be for sale there on May 28th as well as on the Humble Store! Getting the game DRM free is something we hold dear to our hearts, and we're excited to have these avenues to distribute the game through!


How you’ll get your rewards varies based on your backer level and which option you chose for the survey, so bear with us as we lay out the different paths:

For $15 and $20 backers: If you chose Steam or GOG: You’ll receive an email on the 27th or morning of the 28th with your key, Handbook (if applicable), and Manual,

If you chose DRM-Free through Whalenought: Around those same times we’ll set up an account for you on our website where you’ll be able to download the game at your leisure. You’ll receive an email notifying you when the account is created. You will be able to login to the Account page after that to download your packages.

For $25+ backers: If you chose Steam or GOG: You’ll receive an email on the 27th or morning of the 28th with your key. We’ll also set up an account for you on our website where you’ll be able to download the Art Book/Making of book and Erlein’s Handbook. You’ll receive an email notifying you when the account is created. You will be able to login to the Account page after that to download your packages.

If you chose DRM-Free through Whalenought: We’ll set up an account for you on our website where you’ll be able to download the game, the Art Book/Making of book and Erlein’s Handbook. You’ll receive an email notifying you when the account is created. You will be able to login to the Account page after that.


Part of the fun of a classless system is combining skills to create interesting builds for all your party members that work as a unit, and we’ll be showcasing some fun examples over the next few weeks on Twitter to help inspire you to create your own. The first is a favorite for ranged characters, and has some utility options for swapping Pin Shot or any other buffing or battlefield control skill: “The Poison Bombardier,” who's goal would be to proc as much unblockable damage as possible as a strafing archer instead of relying on raw physical damage.



We’ll be adding Grade 3 Skills and Spells to the Manual soon so you can check all out and get some ideas rolling.


Comment on our new youtube trailer for a chance to win a handcrafted leather-bound journal! See details here:




We’ll be back for another update soon with links to our Mac, PC and Linux demos, as well as that walkthrough/combat aid video.

Thanks for all of your support and making this game possible, we can’t wait for you to to start playing!

Cheers!
Hannah and Joe

We're finishing up with the last of the portraits for companions and character generation and wanted to show off another preview of some new faces! No Lachovinians or Ameythevians in this one, but have some dashing Pasaarans, Varuchovs and Taratoriths (4 of whom are backers portraits!)

Total there are 50 character generation portraits to choose from, and 30 companions able to be put through the grinder found and cherished!

The Varuchov male featured is actually the most powerful companion you can find, and is one of the rare surface dwelling Vykins within the Staglands (Vykins are the equivalent of our historic knights — honored in ceremony, monsters in reality). He's quite difficult to obtain, but I'm sure the savviest of Spicers out there can manage.
