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... [h3]YES![/h3]
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!!

[h2]AUGUST 25th[/h2]


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

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

[h3]Hey friends!
Version 0.5 is finally live... The LAST update before release![/h3]

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!

[h3]Important announcement at the end![/h3]

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.



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