Stone Story RPG News

Hello Mosquito Swatters!

We've got a couple cool things to share with you as we continue to get the game ready for release.



In our second developer Q&A, we spoke with Rafael, Stone Story's sound designer about a number of topics, from using shared cultural video game knowledge to crafting an emotional experience for your players.

You can listen to the full talk on YouTube:

Hello Tree Choppers!

Last Sunday we hosted a Q&A session with members of our Discord server where we dove into the development process behind Stone Story RPG. We came away from the talk with several interesting design perspectives, ranging from how to teach players to incorporating idle game mechanics.

We've uploaded the Q&A in its entirety if you're interested in taking a peek behind the curtain:

Thank you to everybody who was able to make it and participate! We may host another one again where we delve into specifics, like ASCII animation or boss fight design.

Hello Stone Throwers!

It’s been a long road to get here, but Stone Story RPG is finally content complete! What does that mean? Well, everything that needs to be in the game is there.

From here on out, our primary focus will be post-production tasks like bug-fixing, balancing, and audio polish. With localization and porting getting added on our to-do list, we’ve got a busy few months ahead of us. We’re excited to show you all the goodies that have been brewing behind the scenes!

The realm is covered in darkness. Monsters and mystery plague the land. Gather your supplies, forge your weapons and restore the light. Your journey begins with a single stone.

Here are some milestones from development thus far:

• 83 items
  
• 40 enemies
  
• 11 levels of difficulty per Location
  
• 1,610 sprites
  
• 655 animations
  
• 9,952 animation frames
  
• 2,227,798 ASCII glyphs
  

We are working to pick an exact launch date and will have that info soon. Be sure to join our Discord server if you want to chat with the devs, follow day-to-day development with other players, and see awesome ASCII art!
