KickStarter Serpent in the Staglands Thread

[Tito Anic]

Looks like this has more effort than the late indie games put in it, just by the art I want to play it.

You should try free demo, the game is top-notch imo:

Gonna do it, I'm glad there are still demos for games out there

You better not... I doubt the demo has been updated since pre-release, and it completely misrepresents the final game. I remember finding combat very unresponsive and buggy feeling, loading times are through the roof, etc. I loved SITS but the demo really sucks and almost turned me off from the game. I really doubt the demo was an asset to Joe and Hannah and probably hurt sales instead of generating them.

 

[kangaroodev]

Oh so it's quite and old demo then, either way if the demo is gonna suck I'll keep this in mind

 

[sstacks]

One thing to keep in mind with SitS is that even with bugs fixed this game does not hold your hand... don't base your opinion of whether it's "broken" or not on the first couple of hours. Stick with it... great game.

loading times are through the roof, etc.

That's how the final game is too.

I got fairly decent load times in the final version. I think if you do a fresh install using Steam (rather than patching or automatically updating the game) you get much better load times.

Not in my game. (played gog version 2.something)

Best game i played in 2015.
The progression through investigation is among the best in the genre, the setting is solid and doesn't pretend to be what it's not (unlike a shit ton of games, it doesn't suffer from any "indie complex"). Combat was meh though.

Just FYI Joe and Hannah from Whalenought will be on the show again this Saturday afternoon talking about the SitS expansion and their new Copper Dreams game.

AoD, Underrail, SitS in the Codex Top 3 from 2015, Voidspire Tactics 4th.

Where are the current results?

 

[Grotesque]

is the zooming out option in the game?

 

[Ninjerk]

Doesn't work very well, IIRC.

Shane, grill them on the combat system and whether it's truly turn-based. Let them know of Codex's displeasure if they give the wrong answer. The whole time-based thing sounds like it could provoke frustration if not handled correctly.

Ha. Well, keep in mind you and anyone else can also call in or tweet during the live show... that's one of the reasons I do live radio, so it can be interactive

For SitS, you can hit "M" for map and get a zoomed out overhead view. It's not traditional zoom in / zoom out however.

I finally took the courage to play this game. It's pretty good but would be so much more enjoyable if it was TB instead of RTwP.

Devs who make party-based isometric RPGs with RTwP combat must have brain damage. When are they gonna realize this is not a suitable mechanic for this kind of game?

"I play on a 1920x1080 monitor but its too pixelated and everything seems too big.
I tried to play windowed but I hate to see the window border.

1920x1080 outline^

this is the perfect zoom out for a monitor with a native resolution of 1920x1080.
the resolution of the game window in the picture I posted is 1920x847


when changing the shape of the window, there are three levels of zooming (in or out) that the game autoselects.
It would be nice if we would have an option to select this level of zooming out in fullscreen or borderless window at least.

^This was the message I posted months ago and the developer said he would look into it.

 

[ArchAngel]

Well that "future patch" is coming as part of free expansion. But we can only guess if it will have what you want
