In order to add some additional variety to our wonderful community, we’ll be adding another game to our list of servers. There’s a new game coming out from Pixelmage Games, called “Hero’s Song.” It’s pretty amazing, shares some similarities with Rust, and is based in an epic, procedurally-generated fantasy world. This game is being made by some absolute legends of game design, including one of the creative minds behind EverQuest.
Some of the best parts of this game is the ability to create a world that’s not just a blank slate, but one that has 10,000 years of history when you log in. There will be legends to learn, history to unravel, epic artifacts to quest for–all while building and managing your home, surviving the trials of a dangerous, evolving world, and some of the most stunning AI ever presented in a fantasy game–let alone something like this. It has a lot in common with Rust as far as its gameplay style, but instead of being a survival shooter, it’s a survival Action/Fantasty RPG. It’s also worth noting that it’s already racking up awards, including “Most Innovative Game” award at PAX West from MMORPG.com. That’s huge!
As development on that game moves forward and we approach the Alpha release in November, I’ll be sharing more information about it here, as well as some links to the game’s preorders through Indiegogo, their Twitch stream, and so on. Just like Rust, this will be an early access game, so we’ll see new features rolling out, and there will be some bugs–but what a game it’s going to be!

We we get closer to the launch of Hero’s Song, I’ll be working on getting us a new web domain so we can have Serenity Valley as its own gaming community, and then have the information branch out into the different games we want to play together and the various servers we host.
