Blightstone News

We’ve fed the horse, packed the cart and we’re already trundling our way down the path to Tacticon! This festival of strategic wonders highlights strategic turn-based, tacticals, rogue-likes and more, and you can find it on Steam.

Over 100 gems will be unveiled, with dev-talks and more taking place during the one-hour showcase. If you’re the kind of adventurer that enjoys some strategy in your life (and being honest with you, if you don’t like that I’m surprised that you’re here), keep an eye out on the TactiCon!!.



While the TactiCon showcase will be held today, Friday will provide insight from many of our lernéd colleagues within the industry. They’ll be covering subjects such as terraforming, knight tactics, strategies for the outnumbered, hexarchy and more.

All subjects near and dear to our hearts though we do note that there’s no talk on “sacrificing adventurers for the greater good” – possibly an oversight on their part.



Anyway, there’s a lot to learn, a lot to see and a lot to play as well. If you’re looking for to test your mettle while we wait to catapult you into the infernal rift, TactiCon is a good place to temper your skills. Get a move on, and let us know how you go.

Hail, Adventurers! It’s been some time since we were last in touch and it’s been clear that a good number of you have been working to advance the Earthglass ever closer to the Infernal Rift. Well, it’s time to boot up your eldritch thinking machines once more, as we have a new trailer, and a new demo for you to jump into.



The Mages at UnfinishedPixel have been scribing away to get things in a great place, and we hope you notice some changes here in the world of Blightstone!

An All-New Interface – The Mages have been working with local bards and artisans in order to bring a new, cinematic feel to Blightstone. Gone are (some of) the old text boxes of yore, replaced with more scripted and immersive storytelling.

This also includes new UI in a variety of areas, as well as substantial polish for our art. With all art in Blightstone drawn by human hand, this has been a significant effort, but one which we feel really helps to pull you (kicking and screaming if required) into the world of Blightstone.

Skills Balancing and Tweaking – We’ve been working to ensure that the skills you pick up work fairly and (importantly) as expected. This includes the effect that skills have on enemies as well as the world around you.

Things That Adventurers Won’t See – While it’s not something you may notice (think of it as a passive skill, rather than an active one), the Mages have been spending a lot of time ensuring that the new demo is more stable, and providing a great foundation for future development (there’s nothing worse than when a silly Mage gets all your arcane scrolls mixed up).



We hope that you have a great time with Blightstone and any other titles you delve into during the Turn Based fest.
