It took a few months, but I am happy to say that Stone Shire is getting released in Europe next Thursday. I consider this an achievement due to this being an international release, but Nintendo kept the release smooth throughout the way, so I am thankful for their assistance. It’s quite a thing to think that this game is coming out on the other side of the world. Pretty exciting. My next goal is getting the game to Japan. Now that’s going to be an obstacle course.

Minecraft added dual wielding to their game in the latest update. No hard feelings, Mojang. No hard feelings. lol

But it has been a long time coming. You finally caught up, guys. ;-)

This video is a test of the new vector lighting for the torch and lighting system coming in Update 1.1 for Stone Shire for the Nintendo Wii U. In the game, you can carry around a torch that will dynamically light the area around you. When you set a torch on a wall or on the ground, it will light up the area around it. Having two hands is pretty useful. You can watch the youtube video linked to the post for a more realtime demonstration. All of the content is still in development and may change.

For our friends over the Atlantic, Stone Shire will be released in Europe by Fall.

Welcome back to another weekly update for Stone Shire. Today, we have the Floof. It is a fluffy creature that grazes grass. It is a docile creature, as long as you do not provoke it. You can cut its wool coat off to use as a crafting material. If you do this, you will have to wait a while before it regrows it again. Having a small farm of Floof will give you a replenishing source for this material. If you decide to defeat it, instead, you can get Hoofs for crafting and meat for eating.

For our weekly progress, we’re designing and implementing new mobs and tools for the upcoming update. We’ll be posting more information as they come to completion over the coming weeks.

For now, let me introduce you to the Mori! This is a caterpillar-like creature that hangs out in trees. It is a peaceful creature, as long as you do not try to attack it. Each mob in the game will drop a specific item that will be essential to crafting a lot of cool stuff in Stone Shire. The Mori has silkthread, which is used for crafting, and Mojiberries, a fruit meant to replenish health, and may also be used for crafting. There are two ways to get items from the Mori. You can either harvest its items that it leaves near where it lives periodically, giving you a replenishing resource as days pass. Or you can defeat it, and get a large sum of resources. But if you do this, you will be unable to get anymore from this Mori unless another one spawns on a later day.
