Below the Stone's Holiday Update is here!

We're releasing a day earlier than we had scheduled, so you can get an early start on some of the exclusive holiday loot we added to the game. The dwarven halls we call home are looking a little more festive this time of year, so check out the new holiday decor, open presents under the tree, and enjoy some kobold cookies by the fire.

We'll be posting a full changelog later today for those looking for a list of new items and features.

Thank YOU for being part of Below the Stone's early access journey. This humble time of year has given the Strollart Studios dev team a huge reminder of why we're so thankful to the people who are part of our community, and love indie games. Reading your reviews, seeing you on our discord, letting us know your suggestions. All of these things have been getting the team even more excited to deliver the game to you.

Thank you, and Happy Holidays!

Just a small set of fixes based off of recent feedback on our Discord. Trying to make sure that controller players have a stable experience.


[h2]Hotfix[/h2]

[Fixes]
* Fixed not being able to click on/type in textboxes, like the one for typing the name of a new character on the main menu screen. This also applies to any other text box in game and any other UI elements that have focus.
* Fixed an issue where selecting the profile trash can button with controller would play the select sound twice.
* Fixed an issue where clicking the profile trash can button with controller would cause the code to be double executed, due to Unity shenanigans.

[Tweaks]
* Tweaked the spawn chances of some creatures in the desert biome on Layer 2.

Final Remarks:
Please let us know if there are any persisting issues regarding UI with either the keyboard or controller. We know there are people who are having trouble playing the game at all due to the controller bugs. So we want to make sure they are all fixed so those people can now play.

Sorry for the holdup with the bugs that came up in Alpha 0.2

This update just fixes some issues that basically made it impossible to play due to UI based dimming not being disabled in some cases. This was because it was basically old logic that never got fully removed.
So now it is all fixed.

Thank you for your patience.
