Below the Stone News

Below the Stone pre-update sale starts TODAY

We have tentative plans to release the next big update THIS SEPTEMBER! We're very excited to show you what we've been working on for the last few months.

We have a lot for you to dig ⛏️ into in this new update, so the whole team is hard at work putting this together. Many new player-requested features are finding their way in this new "Caves Awaken Part 2" update, so we're excited to see what the dwarves have to say about it!

Some new features include:

• Combat reworks (Stamina + combat reward system)
  
• New structures and dungeons to explore
  
• "Trap" structures for more dangerous dungeons!
  
• Buttons, levers, sentient boulders, and more!
  
• Additional biomes to explore
  
• New and improved Dwarven Kingdom that can be expanded
  
• Entirely New missions to get involved in
  
• New NPCs to help you on your descents
  
• Ability to skip to layer 2
  
• Storyline missions/quests
  

All of your positive reviews you have left our little team working so hard on this game has been amazing to read through, so thank you for everyone who has been taking the time to write them. It has helped us out a lot! They've been a gem to dig through. 💎

If you have any suggestions or input, please join our Discord! We'd love to hear from you.

FEATURES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. NOT FINAL DESIGN.

We have only 1 week left in the Steam Summer sale. Below the Stone is 20% off for a limited time. All the positive reviews are incredible appreciated by the team, and we'd love to have you all join the discord for the news of our roadmap coming soon!

We plan on having a huge update near the middle of September, revising parts of the kingdom, giving better access to layer 2 of the caves, more NPCs, multiple new missions, and giving players the full layer 1 + 2 experience before delving deeper into development of layers 3 and beyond.

Let us know what you're looking forward to most, because we'll be listening to player input from old and new players alike these coming months.

Changelog:


[Fixes]
* Fixed an issue with spikes being able to kill things after they have already died
