Please look out for an announcement about our new game tomorrow!

They say the best defense is a good offense but sometimes a strategic retreat is the only option if you want to survive the deadly wilds of Lahaina. With some feedback from players in our test sessions, we made a few improvements to movement and medical gear in the game.

Items now apply a speed modifier while they are being used by players whether they are walking or running. Contrary to what you might have heard you don’t run faster with a construction tool in your hand.

We also made bandages usable while a player is moving, although their sprint speed will be reduced 25% while they’re making sure they don’t bleed out.



While we were fixing running away, we addressed a few issues with combat. First, we fixed a bug that would allow a player to shoot behind them when in 3rd person.

Next, we fixed a long-standing issue with thrown weapon damage. One shot one kill might be exactly what you want as a sniper but it makes for a pretty lousy game experience. We adjusted thrown weapon damage removing one-hit-kill shots on the animals and mutants as well.



Some of you reported a crazy bug that would cause someone interacting with a bed to find themselves auto running. This doesn’t exactly lead to a restful sleep so we fixed the sleep runners and we also added proper collision to the rear doors of trucks.

Players hiding inside should be able to count on the doors acting as a barrier between them and the arrows being shot at them again.



We’ve spent countless hours building and adjusting our construction system and we recently fixed a batch of bugs found by our community. We started with fixing a bug where players could place items on support beams on thatch foundations.

We addressed an issue with some construction pieces that resisted being upgraded and a bug with building regeneration making floors that weren’t solid. We appreciate your help in making sure our building system stays up to code (even if you’re still not totally ‘safe’).



Our servers are up 24/7 so feel free to explore Lahaina’s deadly paradise any time you want.

Our testers ran into hordes of mutants and explored some of the most dangerous parts of the island this week. Here are a few shots of their adventures. We love sharing your pictures so keep them coming!





















Mahalo to our testers for providing suggestions and helping us hunt down bugs when they pop up. Your feedback is very important to us so keep it coming! If you’re interested in helping out, head over to our discord and let us know!

Here’s everything you found and we fixed and implemented this week.

• Pistoling - If you spam the reload key while shooting the shotgun it allows you to skip the reload animation
  
• spitfire - Logged in and I have a saw tooth ax equipped as my torso
  
• Pistoling - If a player presses F to interact with a sleeping bag while walking/running it'll trigger an auto walk/run.
  
• JoshCoopster - Door and codes stopped working
  
• Pistoling - Player-owned structure containers (Storage boxes, smelter, etc) inventory will still persist even after broken, as long as a player is still accessing it.
  
• spitfire - Arrows go through truck doors
  
• Pistoling - When you're in the third person you have the ability to kill enemies that are behind your character, using melee weapons or guns
  
• JoshCoopster - After a crash, my totem showed as empty
  
• Pistoling - Both small and large chests can be placed on the side posts of the thatch foundations.
  
• writeplace - Duplicate character dying crashing server bug
  
• Pistoling - Sleeping bags, campfires, and smelters can be placed underneath thatch foundations

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.



Lastly here are some super awesome fanarts from the Serin Fate Discord:
