Hey Stone Story Fans! We hope you've all been safe and healthy these past few weeks. Things have been busy on our end as we work with our awesome beta testers towards pushing updates out onto the live branch. Keep reading to see what we've got coming up. [h1]Balance Update and New Item [/h1] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//30519309/6ccd338b8e463b74faf90d69b8e6020410f2f7dc.gif[/img] This weekend Stone Story RPG will be getting an update that addresses a wide variety of balance issues and much needed QoL improvements. These include things like a reworking of wand stats, streamlining the enchantment process, and even more additions to Stonescript. The update also brings the Compound Shield into the game, which further explores new edges of the existing design space for shields. We think it will be a stunning addition to your arsenal. :y To celebrate, Stone Story RPG will be running a limited-time event where you can obtain a powerfully enchanted Compound Shield. [b]The update, event, and accompanying sale will go live this Saturday, April 18th.[/b] [h1]The Quest Stone[/h1] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//30519309/6dc69b5931814c79ab924cacc066c4c5b12ee9c5.png[/img] Our next big content update will be 3.0, which adds the Quest system to the game. Up until now, the Quest Stone has been a placeholder for a long-planned feature that willl greatly expand the amount of narrative content in the game. The way it works is that quests will function as their own self-contained storylines. Each quest is split into 4-5 parts and will take players on journeys across the Dark World as they revisit familiar locations, talk to old acquaintances, and dive into dangerous new mysteries. To help us crank out content for the Quest system, we've brought on additional writing talent! We're extremely thrilled to be working with them and can't wait to cook up exciting adventures for new and returning players alike. Not only will the Quest system add more to the base game, it also opens up further possibilities for community-made content. The modular framework will be designed with the intent to support custom quests, allowing players to create their own adventures or share them with others. That feature is a ways off, but adding the Quest system to the game is a big first step. --- That's all for now!
