Stone Story RPG’s jam event makes its return this weekend. Update 2.8 has added a vast array of new features to Stonescript, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in Stone Story. Take part in StoneJam 2 and show off your creations! [h2]What is Stonescript?[/h2] Stonescript is a scripting language built into Stone Story RPG, used for modifying the character's AI. Easy to use yet powerful, scripts can be as simple as automating potions if your health gets low or optimizing combat to super-human levels. Stonescript can also be used to manipulate a number of in-game elements, like the UI or player cosmetics. Put your avatar in a flying mecha, give them a fancy hat, or create a dynamic healthbar! [h2]What is StoneJam about?[/h2] The Stonescript Update has greatly expanded what is possible in Stone Story RPG. We want to see what YOU can create! Some of the projects that people have made with Stonescript include: [list][*] Blackjack [*] Fishing [*] Combat scripts [*] Animated pets [*] Custom UI elements [/list] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//30519309/3e0e9d15b592f5b9d6a02295bbae6673257a3538.gif[/img] [h2]What do I get?[/h2] For StoneJam 2, we have a number of prizes! This time we’re introducing categories. These categories are meant to help guide you in creating scripts by providing a general theme or idea. They are: [list][*] Epic [*] Awesome [*] Beautiful [*] Useful [/list] Anyone participating has a chance to win each category. Have an Awesome and Beautiful new pet design? Maybe a Useful component that others can build with? From efficient farming scripts to full screen mini-games, all ideas are welcome! Any number of participants can win each category and a chance for the following prizes: [list][*] Epic = +15 Enchantment [*] Awesome = +11 Enchantment [*] Beautiful = +10 Enchantment [*] Useful = +10 Enchantment [/list] Our favorite submissions will also be invited to be an official addition to the game, allowing players to activate your script with a simple “import” command.
