Adventurers – It’s time to save the world!

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.

If you’re left wanting more (why wouldn’t you be) you can keep up with Blightstone by wishlisting on Steam , following on X (Twitter) , Bluesky , Insta or Tik Tok , or joining our Discord where you can chat with other adventurers!

Thank You for Playing the Blightstone Demo!

Heroes,

What an incredible week it has been! The Steam Next Fest has come and gone, and we are beyond grateful for everyone who took the time to try out the Blightstone demo. Watching players dive into the world we’ve been building, strategizing in combat, experimenting with abilities, and facing off against the corruption, has been nothing short of amazing.

Your feedback, excitement, and even your defeats against the Demon have been invaluable.

We know that Steam Next Fest was packed with fantastic games, and with so many demos to check out, not everyone had the chance to embark on their own journey through Blightstone. But don’t worry, the demo isn’t vanishing into the void just yet! If you haven’t played it, or if you want to go back and test new strategies, the demo will remain available for a while longer. So sharpen your blades, ready your spells, and see if you can conquer the challenges ahead.



Since the launch of the demo, we’ve received many questions about language support. We hear you! Our goal is to make Blightstone as accessible as possible, and while the demo is currently available in English, we have plans for localization. We’re happy to confirm that Chinese, German, and Spanish are already locked in as upcoming languages. We are also evaluating which other languages to add based on demand, so if you’re hoping to see Blightstone in your native language, let us know! Your input helps us prioritize what’s most important to the community.

Once again, thank you for your support, your time, and your feedback. We can’t wait to continue this journey with you. And if you haven’t already, don’t forget to wishlist Blightstone on Steam—it helps us more than you can imagine!

Join us in the fight against the Blight! If you’d like to be part of the community, come hang out with us on Discord!

Thank you!
