Hello everyone!
Its been a while since our last devlog, so wed like to share some details about what weve been working on.
In the previous entry we mentioned a plan to release an interim patch with the Mint Squares missing interiors and NPCs. Theres been some adjustments since then: first of all, we decided to add new content not only to the Mint Square but also to the Docks.
Secondly, there were some tweaks to the timeline, so these additions will be a part of the next major update, which we havent yet chosen a name for. This update will also include some of the features that were originally planned for Rags to Riches and Wizards Fate. Heres a list of things were working on right now:
- Next stage of the main quest - it will wrap up the introduction sequence and will prepare players for the sandbox part of the game. After that, the main story will be put on hold until we finish implementing all the remaining mechanics and content.
- New magic school, Electromancy, that has potential to deal high damage while offering some decent crowd control.
- New utility tree, Magic Mastery - a worthwhile addition to any magic-focused build.
- Fatigue System and supplementary magic mechanics that will require mages to be more thoughtful about positioning and the way they spend their resources (including financial ones).
- Second tier of Proselytes: ten new dangerous enemies that come with roughly 20 new active and passive abilities.
- Several carefully designed Points of Interest, each of them boasting its own backstory.
- Caravan stop, which will provide you with a place to save your progress and store your items. As for global map traveling, we plan to add this functionality in one of the subsequent major updates.
- Folios, a new type of valuable loot that will give you an opportunity to learn more about the games world as well as gain some experience points.
- New content for the Mint Square (the Cathedral, the University, a bank, a printing house, the Golden Grain Inn, Azure Thread Tradehouse) and the Docks (the Alchemical Emporium of Curious Goods, a dockside store, the Close Harbor Tavern, and a bathhouse) that we already mentioned.
- Something cool and unexpected that will be revealed alongside the announcement of the updates release date.
The ongoing war still causes certain financial and organizational issues, so we cant guarantee that everything mentioned in this devlog will be a part of the next major update, but well do our best to make it happen nonetheless. Well tell you more details about the new additions in future devlogs, so stay tuned and follow the news!
The updates release date will be revealed in a separate announcement once we complete the bulk of the work on new content. And after the update is out, well also revise our Development Roadmap and publish an up-to-date version.
Thats all for now. Until next time!

Stoneshard Linux [245.94 M]
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.
