Devlog: Progress Update
Now youll be able to grab a shovel and head to the nearest cemetery. If you spend some time digging around, you might find something valuable or interesting. Just remember that this isnt the most pleasant of activities, so your characters sanity and morale can take a noticeable hit if you rob graves too frequently. If you dont have a shovel with you, you can also try digging with your bare hands. Though the process will take much more time in this case plus theres a risk of hand injury.
Its now possible to randomly encounter roadside altars which were set up to honor the Host, the deity worshipped in Aldor. You can pray to the Host by these altars to gain a blessing for a few hundred turns. Blessings grant resistance to unholy damage, gradually restore psyche, and slightly increase received experience.
With the addition of a fully-fledged worship system, the altars mechanics will be substantially expanded, but for now their purpose is to add more variety to the world and encourage traveling by roads.
There were lots of requests to add character slots, so by popular demand it was decided to add them with this update. Youll no longer need to bother with backing up game files. Itll now be possible to create multiple characters and switch between them without any busywork.
We continue experimenting with our dungeon generator by adding various changes. The updated version will be able to create more complex and engaging structures. We also continue to fill the world with more details. The Trollslayer update will have three new points of interests. One of them weve already shown. Heres the second one:
Weve decided to add a number of initially unplanned and unannounced features (such as save slots and changes to dungeon generation), so well need a bit more time to finish their implementation and polish the build. Trollslayer will be available in three weeks - exactly on April 14th. 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.
PLANNED UPDATES
- New Content
New settlements, including three majestic cities. New enemy factions: the mysterious Deep Dwellers and the ruthless Hive. Even more activities, equipment, enemies and abilities. - Caravan
Gather your caravan: upgrade it, find new routes and recruit followers - their skills and abilities will surely come in handy. Feeling tired? Return to your camp to hear fresh stories or just rest by the fire. - Devotion
Devote yourself to one of the aspects of the enigmatic deity. But remember: every blessing has
its price. Are you ready to make a pact? - Campaign
To solve the mystery of the Stoneshards, you’ll have to visit dozens of exciting locations, make decisions with long-lasting consequences and slay a number of ferocious bosses. - Alchemy & Cooking
Discover new recipes and experiment with potions and dishes by combining different ingredients.
