StoneJam 8 Underway!

[h2]Welcome to StoneJam 8! [/h2][p]We’re excited to bring back this community event and see what everyone creates. [/p][p]Before we dig into StoneJam, we’d like to inform everyone that the Kickstarter for Stone Story Ascension is only weeks away. To stay informed sign up for the mailing list at part2.stonestoryrpg.com[/p][p]Submissions to StoneJam 8 are open to artwork, UI mods, and anything else you can think to use Stonescript for. [/p][p]StoneJam 8 will run until October 12. You’ll have that time to create and submit your scripts on our Discord server: discord.gg/StoneStoryRPG[/p][h3]
To participate in the jam:[/h3]
  • [p]Visit our Discord server[/p]
  • [p]During onboarding, or at `#channels & roles`, press the 🧠 box[/p]
  • [p]Congratulations, you now have the @stonejam role! With this you’ll be able to write in the StoneJam Discord channelsd[/p]
  • [p] Participate via the Discord event channels:[/p]
    • [p] #stonejam8-discuss - Discuss ideas and get help[/p]
    • [p] #stonejam8-submit - Submit your creations[/p]
[p][/p][h3]What is StoneJam about?
[/h3][p]StoneJam was conceived as a way to experiment with Stonescript, a scripting language built directly into Stone Story RPG. Easy to use yet powerful, scripts can be as simple as automating potions if your health gets low, optimizing combat to superhuman levels, or even creating new cosmetics and UI features!
[/p][p]With each new update we continue to expand what's possible with Stonescript. We want to see what YOU can create! Some of the projects that people have made with Stonescript include:[/p]
  • [p]Minigames[/p]
  • [p]Pets and cosmetics[/p]
  • [p]Custom UI elements (e.g. healthbars, ability timers)
    ASCII-art and animations[/p]
  • [p]…and more![/p]
[p]
Collaborations between participants are more than welcome (and in fact encouraged).

Instructions in the Mind Stone* are written in Stonescript, a minimalist language designed for use by everyone. If you don’t want to script, use the Mind Stone as your canvas to create ASCII art![/p][p]
*(Note: Stonescript features are unlocked part-way through playing the game. If you’re new to scripting or need a quick refresher, check out this tutorial we’ve written up: https://stonestoryrpg.com/stonescript/intro_tutorial.html)[/p][h3]
I’m a mobile player; can I still participate?[/h3][p]
Yes!

While working with Stonescript on mobile may be a bit more challenging, there are ways that you as a mobile player can participate in StoneJam.

We recommend working with cosmetics as the easiest way to get into mobile scripting. For the more ambitious users, it is still possible to work with UI, Games, and other types of StoneScript creations!

What do I get?[/h3][p][/p][p]StoneJam is a chance for our community to work together and bring StoneScript to its limits. All participants in StoneJam will earn a commemorative trophy in-game, and our favorite submissions will be invited to be an official addition to the game.[/p][h3]
How do I submit my StoneJam entry?[/h3][p]

    • [p]Version number of the script[/p]
    • [p]Instructions on how to use it[/p]
  2. [p]Drop your script into #stonejam-submit, along with screenshots and/or gifs of your entry in action.[/p]

Important Stone Story News

[h2]Attention All Stoneheads! [/h2][p]IMPORTANT NEWS![/p][p]The team has been hard at work and we have multiple exciting things to share.[/p][p]Starting off with a bang, we’re finally ready to announce that Part 2 of Stone Story is coming soon! Titled Stone Story Ascension, this ambitious project kicks off with a massive promotion and Kickstarter campaign.[/p][p]But that’s not all! It’s been a year since the last StoneJam and we’re happy to let you all know that the event returns on September 27, with StoneJam 8![/p][p]And last but not least, two strangely-related topics: We have news on the ambitious Once We Were Mitey Legend quest, and 3 new translations: Thai, Indonesian, and Italian.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Part 2 & Kickstarter[/h2][p]It’s been a long time cooking and we’re happy to announce our sequel plans for Stone Story RPG! In Stone Story Ascension players will travel to Acropolis, the fabled city in the sky. Explore the clouded realm, where lore and new powers await you. [/p][p]Learn more about the design decisions behind Ascension, ask us questions and discuss in our community Discord here.[/p][p]
To make Ascension a success our team has calculated that a Kickstarter, preceded by a massive promotional campaign is our best path to success. [/p][p]To participate in this promotion, earn the VIP role and more, visit part2.stonestoryrpg.com and sign up. The promotion ends in a few weeks, when the KS campaign begins.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]StoneJam 8[/h2][p]StoneJam returns for its 8th installment! It’s been nearly a year since StoneJam 7, and we can’t wait to see what you all come up with.[/p][p]Mark it on your calendars, because StoneJam 8 starts on September 27. More details to follow![/p][p]Interested in participating? Not sure what StoneJam is about? Check out previous StoneJam entries to see what people have worked on![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]SSRPG's Final Content[/h2][p]While the team is hard at work on Ascension, we’re still not done with the original game! [/p][p]In the next update Stone Story RPG receives translations for Thai, Indonesian, and Italian. And soon we'll introduce the final piece of SSRPG: The Once We Were Mitey Legend quest. Embark on a perilous expedition through ice, experience a new movement mechanic and earn the Crusader Shield Lost item.[/p][p]So how is a Legend quest related to new translations?[/p][p]Once We Were Mitey is HUGE, designed with massive amounts of dialogue. This created a dilemma. Translating this quest to all 17 supported languages exceeds what's possible with our limited budget.[/p][p]Between the options of cutting the quest or using inferior machine-translations, we decided that the best course of action is to make Once We Were Mitey a premium, $1 DLC purchase. This is a departure from our previous quest content, but we did not want to compromise on the quality of localization, continuing with the incredible work from the Warlocs team.[/p][p]Hopefully this change and our thought process makes sense, and we're happy to discuss it over on our Discord.[/p][p]That’s all from us for now, see you in the next announcement Stoneheads![/p]
