Serpent in the Staglands Post-funding Update #10

The latest post-funding update for Serpent in the Staglands is a straight progress report for the title. According to Whalenought Studios, the game is on schedule to hit beta later this Summer, and considering how much they show off in the update I’m inclined to believe them. Here’s a little snippet:

Beta Areas:

The eastern districts of Orf’s Bridge, Emerald Metalis, and Tratis Saltis will be where the initial beta will take place, so we’ve been focusing on getting the content completed for these districts first. It’s a pretty sizable area of the game. Because of the game’s open-ended nature, the beta won’t have an obvious endpoint, but will be more of an exploration with the first options of the primary story to uncover if you choose and are able to discover them. Like in Darklands, the gameplay experience involves uncovering the story via your own exploration, with the addition of actually having a goal and a few (uncertain) leads to begin with.

The first tier of all combat and spells will be available, and we are planning to include the second tier in for additional testing after the initial beta launch.
