Attention All Stoneheads!
IMPORTANT NEWS!
The team has been hard at work and we have multiple exciting things to share.
Starting off with a bang, we’re finally ready to announce that Part 2 of Stone Story is coming soon! Titled Stone Story Ascension, this ambitious project kicks off with a massive promotion and Kickstarter campaign.
But that’s not all! It’s been a year since the last StoneJam and we’re happy to let you all know that the event returns on September 27, with StoneJam 8!
And last but not least, two strangely-related topics: We have news on the ambitious Once We Were Mitey Legend quest, and 3 new translations: Thai, Indonesian, and Italian.
Part 2 & Kickstarter
It’s been a long time cooking and we’re happy to announce our sequel plans for Stone Story RPG! In Stone Story Ascension players will travel to Acropolis, the fabled city in the sky. Explore the clouded realm, where lore and new powers await you.
To make Ascension a success our team has calculated that a Kickstarter, preceded by a massive promotional campaign is our best path to success.
To participate in this promotion, earn the VIP role and more, visit part2.stonestoryrpg.com and sign up. The promotion ends in a few weeks, when the KS campaign begins.
StoneJam 8
StoneJam returns for its 8th installment! It’s been nearly a year since StoneJam 7, and we can’t wait to see what you all come up with.
Mark it on your calendars, because StoneJam 8 starts on September 27. More details to follow!

SSRPG's Final Content
While the team is hard at work on Ascension, we’re still not done with the original game!
In the next update Stone Story RPG receives translations for Thai, Indonesian, and Italian. And soon we'll introduce the final piece of SSRPG: The Once We Were Mitey Legend quest. Embark on a perilous expedition through ice, experience a new movement mechanic and earn the Crusader Shield Lost item.
So how is a Legend quest related to new translations?
Once We Were Mitey is HUGE, designed with massive amounts of dialogue. This created a dilemma. Translating this quest to all 17 supported languages exceeds what's possible with our limited budget.
Between the options of cutting the quest or using inferior machine-translations, we decided that the best course of action is to make Once We Were Mitey a premium, $1 DLC purchase. This is a departure from our previous quest content, but we did not want to compromise on the quality of localization, continuing with the incredible work from the Warlocs team.
Hopefully this change and our thought process makes sense, and we're happy to discuss it over on our Discord.
That’s all from us for now, see you in the next announcement Stoneheads!
