Stones Keeper II: The Chaos Lord announcement.

Friends!

It is with great excitement that we announce the continuation of our fantasy turn-based strategy game, Stones Keeper II: Chaos Lord. The sequel offers both the well-known game mechanics from the original game and a variety of new features.

Take a look at the trailer to find out more about the new chapter of the story before we dig into the details.

You probably still have questions. Below we will do our best to shed some light on to all the new features and explain them in detail.

Who is the Chaos Lord?

Firstly, we want to point out that chaos is not something you have to fight, you are its very essence. Thus the Lord of Chaos is the main character, for whom you will have to lead the army of the undead. Nevertheless, not everything is so obvious, no one forbids you to do good deeds, playing the role of the real evil....

We would like to limit the amount of plot details to avoid spoilers, so that's all we can reveal at this time.

List of the most significant updates

  • New campaign for the undead on behalf of Lord Chaos.
  • ANIMATION OF ALL UNITS.
  • Animation of air units (castles and pirate ships) on the global map
  • Animation of all dialog portraits.
  • Animation of castle scenes (store scene) and merchant scenes.
  • Menu animation
  • New race: Forest Spirits (with the ability to play as them in free-to-play mode).
  • New story characters (heroes)
  • Split characters into classes (warrior, assassin, support unit, rider, big guy).
  • ZONE OF CONTROL
  • UPDATED TRAINING SYSTEM (6 levels instead of 3. 3 new talent branches depending on the unit class).
  • SPIN ATTACK (with effects on evasion and damage).
  • NEW EQUIPMENT items (over 100 equipment items divided into three levels, unique items for each of the major factions, as well as items that affect the ability parameters of individual units or have an additional effect when used on the battlefield).
  • Redesigned controls


It is not a complete list, but it does cover all the major improvements.

Animations play a significant role in this list, as you can see. There have already been a few animations shown, and we're ready to present more.







[h3]A huge number of new items. This is just a small fraction of the overall amount.[/h3]





We are steadily moving toward completion of development. The exact release date has not yet been determined.

If you have questions, everyone is always welcome on the Discord server dedicated to the game.
Please add the game to your wishlist. It helps a lot.

See you soon!

A small update + demo of the new animations

Greetings, Stones Keepers!

We are currently preparing a major announcement. So stay tuned!

In terms of the small update, we decided to add the option to save during combat. This has been requested by many players. Our team decided that it is worth letting players play the game the way they want, even though this mechanic will allow "save-scumming" before each turn takes place.



[h3] Demonstration of the new animations[/h3]
As we showed you last time, we have more animations ready. And we are currently focusing on adding as many animations as we can. More details will be revealed in the announcement later.

Portraits will also be animated

A grim tale about a village inhabited only by children!



Friends!
Greetings from the Valkyrie Initiative team.

We invite all fans of adventure games with horror elements into this grim, beautifully hand-drawn fairy tale.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2420350/_/

This story takes place in a village inhabited only by children who follow savage pagan traditions. Assume the role of a young witch named Kyrphel and experience all the hardships of witch life, discover the secrets of ancient rituals, explore the village and interact with its inhabitants.

Witchcraft, rituals, lies or sincerity - do whatever it takes, since the fate of the entire village depends on whether you succeed in the Great Ritual or not.

To celebrate the release, please watch the trailer before taking part in the Great ritual!

This project was developed by The Growing Stones, who spent two years gathering inspiration from fairy tales, myths, ancient religions, and beliefs in proud solitude.
