December plans:
We want to have at least two smaller scale, immediate content updates, with a large focus on bug/issue fixes. We want to address immediate player requests before focusing on the next big content updates we have in mind for next year. 2024 will be a huge year for our studio and the game as a whole, so come join us in the festive gifts we want to give to you!
December 9th Quality of Life update:
- Player guidance.
- New content (such as lodestone) which will help with player guidance.
- Combat/progression balancing.
- New weapons/Tools.
- Controller bug fixes.
- Address immediate bugs/issues players discovered.
Holiday update releasing December 15th!:
- Holiday content update, fun things for players to do during their holiday off, farm some unique holiday items in the game
- Holiday healing items
- Gifts waiting to be opened at the kingdom!

Content update for December 21st:
- Additional content for layer 2 biomes (Such as the Mole, and Stone Golem enemies)
- Combat/progression balancing
- More quality of life additions
In the new year, we're going to begin a devlog style series on the official Below the
Stone/Strollart YouTube channel. We'd also like to do regular monthly music videos featuring new biome tracks being created for the game, and regular dev streams by Below the Stone team, aiming to stream on Friday/weekends. We want to be more open with our development since we just launched into Early Access to show what we have in mind for the game's future.
Please let us know what you think we should focus on next, and join our discord too if you hadn't yet!
