Stone Story RPGs 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!

What is Stonescript?

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!

What is StoneJam about?

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:

• Blackjack
• Fishing
• Combat scripts
• Animated pets
• Custom UI elements

What do I get?

For StoneJam 2, we have a number of prizes! This time were introducing categories. These categories are meant to help guide you in creating scripts by providing a general theme or idea. They are:

• Epic
• Awesome
• Beautiful
• Useful

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:

• Epic = +15 Enchantment
• Awesome = +11 Enchantment
• Beautiful = +10 Enchantment
• Useful = +10 Enchantment

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.

When is StoneJam?

StoneJam will take place from Friday, February 28th (10:00 AM PST) to Monday, March 2nd (11:59 PM PST). You have 86 hours to create and submit your scripts.

How do I participate?

StoneJam 2 will be hosted on our Discord server! To gain the new @stonejam role, go to the #commands channel and type !stonejam. Two new channels have been created for this event. Use #stonejam-discussion for all discussion about the jam and reserve #stonejam-submit for submitting entries.

How do I submit my StoneJam entry?

Submission rules: 1. Inside your scripts, at the beginning of each file include: - Name/nickname of author (or multiple names if multiple authors) - Version number of the script - Instructions on how to use it 2. Drop your script into #stonejam-submit, along with screenshots and/or gifs of your entry in action. 3. If a single entry involves multiple interdependent scripts, put them into a zip. 4. Submit different entries separately. 5. You can submit scripts created prior to the jam, as long as the jam weekend is used for meaningfully improving them.
