KickStarter Serpent in the Staglands Pre-Release Thread

[ROARRR]

Can you skip the intro in this game? (or will you be able to?)

I might jump into a bit of beta testing soon - bit busy this week tho

Yes it is!

P.s. I have a nickname idea for the game. How about: Sp.i.t.s. = Spits = Serpent in the staglands

 

[A horse of course]

I really like the boobs on the UI. This is a critical feature missing from certain party-based RPG interfaces.

 

[Sensuki]

Nah not that intro. First time you load the game you have to see the Whalenought logo and can't skip it. Not a fan of that

That intro is with the latest version also skipable!

(Although, for the rest, it seems to be the same update that Infinitron posted about one page ago or so...)

Spits on/all over Pillars of Eternity?

Spits on/all over Pillars of Eternity?

Well, I like the Battlesystem,because it is more challenging compared to PoE. (I have a hard time playing PoE because its Bs(Battlesystem) is Bs(Bullshit))
But the Bs is also different:
For instance the mages have infinte spellcasting, but they are also mostly fixed with one target to use the spell on.
The targeted Char will feel the effect over time.
Melee and Range Weapon Skills are set in three available Slots and will have its effects while fighting, so no "klick the skill than select target"....
You can also set as many traps as you want, but there is no sneak ability to check out where and how many enemies there are (But this could be solved if the Player could have the ability to check the area i.e. with a spell ).
Even though the Battlefiield is sometimes confusing it is still better than in PoE (The shiny spell/skill effects in PoE are just too intense).
But Battlemanagement is better in PoE.

If I have to choose I would choose Spits over PoE, but cant tell about storyline, so this could turn ugly

What's the word on mod support?

 

[Zeriel]

What's the word on mod support?

None. It's a standalone singleplayer game. Did you really want to draw a bunch of spritesheets yourself?

 

[Sensuki]

You can use Bester's Mod Tools for Pillars of Eternity to mod Serpent in the Staglands.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

You can use Bester's Mod Tools for Pillars of Eternity to mod Serpent in the Staglands.

Even though PoE is 2d + 3d models and SitS is full 2d?

 

[Sensuki]

They're both made with Unity. They are both coded in C#.

This is a very low level form of modding. Essentially altering the source code.

Yeah, I just thought the different uses of 2d and 3d would complicate things a bit.

Physical Journals prepping for shipment!
Despite not having monk robes and torch-lit rooms, we took some time to do some medieval scribe work and bound together Erlein's journals! We'll be shipping these early, planning for the end of the month, so you'll have ample time to look it over. For those receiving these or their digital versions, they are worth thumbing through — Erlein is the Moon Lord's one source of information, and this untimely travel guide has plenty of secrets and lore to peruse.

We'd like to send the first batch of journals soon, so if you haven’t filled out the handy survey Kickstarter sent you recently, please do! I think most of them are in, but we’ll check in with you soon for an address if you haven’t. We have a few extras available, and made some additional ones we'll be raffling off next month. We’d love to hear your ideas for a raffle/contest for the physical journals, let us know in the comments!

My god, those are so beautiful. Why didn't I give you more money? WHY? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

The update said they still have a couple of extras left, so if you want one you might be able to up your pledge to $75 and they'll send you one.

So is this game going to be as awesome as KotC? (I know it is not turn based).

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Whalenought_Joe can LP game now? Or do I wait to try that after it's done?

There is a big polish update with lots of navigation and skill fixes, itemization/merchant economy (limited funds) and some other updates and maps going into the beta next week. If you're offering to do a LP of the beta that would be great! Could be interesting for folks to see this new stuff.

Haba We have a few set aside for raffling and would like to do one on the Codex, we'll talk to Bee about that next month.

That's nice but when will the English update be?

How would I go about this? Haven't found the "Link the pledge" section on the site anywhere, so, not sure how to up it, assuming it'd be possible.

:is possibly an idiot:

What do you think about modding games? Espacially your game?
