Introducing The Serpent King's Domain: A Major Content Update!
I am incredibly excited and proud to deliver the second major content update, The Serpent King's Domain! This DLC isn't just big—it's colossal, completing the Fabled Lands series with content from books 1-7. With this update, we've brought all the published material to life, and the sheer volume of this update is almost as big as the base game!
To celebrate its release, I have an amazing bundle deal on Steam, offering a fantastic discount on the base game. Don't miss out on this special offer!
A HUGE THANK YOU to our amazing community members who helped play-test the DLC during the beta! Your feedback was invaluable, and I'm thrilled that you loved the content. I cannot wait for everyone to get their hands on it.
What to Expect in The Serpent King's Domain:
- Vast New Areas: Explore the Violet Ocean and the mysterious southern continent of Ankon-Konu, navigating dense, trap-filled jungles, the Plateau of Dragons, and the haunts of Tarshesh. Confront the immortal Serpent King and seek fortune in the perilous ports of Ankon-Konu and the sorcerer's city of Dweomer.
- Massive Content Expansion: With over 400,000 words, the now complete content of the game is richer and more immersive than ever.
- 180+ New Items: Discover mystical artifacts and practical gear to enhance your adventure.

- 34 New Achievements: For those who love to explore and leave no stone unturned.
Special Thanks and Acknowledgements:
Community Support: Your enthusiasm and feedback during the beta were amazing. I especially want to thank Cameron MacMillan also known as 'Parsifal' from the Game Slayers on our Discord server. Not only is he a Game Slayer who knows the game's ins and outs, but he's also a fine musician who composed and recorded the awesome soundtrack you'll hear in the new DLC with his cello!
The Authors:I extend my deepest gratitude to Dave Morris and Jamie Thomson, the brilliant minds behind the original books, and to Paul Gresty, the author of Book 7, The Serpent King's Domain. Paul's work is a remarkable continuation of this esteemed gamebook series, living up to its old-school legacy with excellence.
Fellow Indie Devs: A salute to my fellow indie developers of Terra Randoma, who released their open-world roguelike at the same time as this DLC. We're both in a bundle that's currently a fantastic deal to grab.
Looking Ahead:
This is not the end! I envision at least one major update towards the end of this year or early next year. Stay tuned for more exciting content!
The Serpent King's Domain DLC is now available simultaneously across Steam, Nintendo Switch, and GOG. So go grab it and embark on your next epic adventure!
Thank you for your continued support and happy adventuring! Here's the full changelog:
