But it has been a long time coming. You finally caught up, guys. ;-)
Stone Shire
Stone Shire 1.1 Upcoming Update: Lighting
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.
Stone Shire – New Mob: Floof
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.
Stone Shire – New Mob: Mori
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.
Stone Shire Future Update List
Stone Shire is finally on the Nintendo eShop for Wii U. It is an exciting time for us, and I’m glad to see it being enjoyed by people already. However, our work here isn’t done, as there’s much more we need to add to this game to make it better. If you have noticed on the title screen, there is a 1.0 underneath the dwarf of the logo. That is because we have many updates planned for the next few months.
That includes:
– Adding an elf race
– New lighting system with light and shadow
– Daytime and Nighttime transitions
– Water and lava
– Animals and monsters, such as goblins and drow (which you can run into underground)
– Weapons, such as swords, lances, shields, and bows
– More objects to decorate your structures
– More map types, such as a tropical island and a mystical forest
– More block types
– Block breaking animation
– Improving animations
– Increased draw distance
– Increased map size
– More music to listen to
– Invert X and Y controls for our invert players
I hope you look forward to these, and we will constantly keep you updated on the progress of these features to come here on Miiverse. We will also hold an Q&A in the future. We look forward to your participation, and thank you for playing Stone Shire. I hope to make this game into something great for everyone to enjoy with your help.
