Hello everyone! This devlog is dedicated to revealing some of the progress weve made with the first major content update Trollslayer, which will be released around the end of March. As weve already mentioned, there are plans to include some previously unannounced things into this update. As for now, lets go through some of the features we are currently working on:

Additional flora and fauna

To make the world of Aldor feel more alive, weve added two new animals to the game: saigas and bisons, which can be encountered in the steppes and in the fields accordingly.

Penny buns have been added to the forests, fleawort and henbane now grow in the fields and by the roadsides, mushrooms and potatoes can be cooked at campsites. The meat system has also been changed, its now divided into four types: tough, fatty, sinewy, and tender. Each meat type can be acquired from certain animals. In the future we plan to make the hunting system significantly more complex, but it definitely wont be a part of the March update.

New dungeon type Catacombs

Proselytes have received their own dungeon type Catacombs. Abandoned churches, monasteries, and other ruins inhabited by the vampiric cults can now be encountered around the world. At the same time theres work being done on rehauling our dungeon generation algorithm in order to create more complex and structurally engaging levels. The work is still in progress, so no pictures of the interiors for now.

New skill trees Athletics and Combat Mastery

Right now we are in the middle of implementing two new utility skill trees, each containing 14 and 13 skills accordingly. Initially they were planned to be much smaller 8-10 skills each, but during the development it was decided to add additional branches. Combat Mastery will be a great addition to the characters focusing on using weapons. Its designed to enhance this playstyle, introducing 7 versatile combat and tactical maneuvers. Athletics is built around mobility and controlling the battlefield, so it can be utilized by pretty much every character Once all the skills are fully implemented and balanced, well publish a separate devlog where well present them in greater detail.

Expanded dialogues

We plan to slightly expand the dialogue system for the key characters such as merchants, elders, craftsmen, etc. Naturally there is no role-playing depth of classical RPGs to be expected here, our role system is simply not designed for that. However youll be able to learn more about certain characters, find out their opinions on different topics, and, perhaps, get some leads on various locations and quests...

?????

Stay tuned for new devlogs. Until next time!

Stoneshard is a challenging turn-based RPG set in an open world. Experience the unforgiving life of a medieval mercenary: travel across the war-torn kingdom, fulfill contracts, fight, mend your wounds and develop your character without any restrictions.

EXPLORE THE RAVAGED LANDS

Open World
War always leaves its mark: villages lie in ruins, dungeons are infested with monsters and old roads are abandoned. Travel across Aldor and learn more about its past.
Economy
The wartime economy is ruthless, but it also presents many opportunities: fulfill contracts, hunt for treasure, trade in a variety of goods and travel the land to earn your fortune.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH

Character Development
Experiment with 100+ abilities and 200+ equipment pieces without any class or level restrictions. Create your very own playstyle!
Enemy Variety
Take part in intense battles against numerous factions. Brigands, abominable cults, the undead - all of them require a unique approach.
Tactical Battles
There is no hand-holding. Only the thoughtful ones shall prevail - plan a few turns ahead, adapt to your surroundings and fully utilize your character’s strengths.

SURVIVE AGAINST THE ODDS

Health System
Master the simple but deep health system: cauterize bleeding wounds, relieve pain with alcohol and drugs, practice bloodletting and heal your maladies with various concoctions.
Psyche
Different in-game situations have a distinct influence on your character’s mental condition. High morale may turn the tide in your favor when fighting even the most hopeless of battles, while low sanity brings panic attacks and paranoia.
Permadeath
Do you like risk? Then try out the Ironman mode, where every decision is irreversible and your character dies once and for all.

its price. Are you ready to make a pact?
