Honor : Stoneguard is a game that we dreamt of playing but didn’t quite exist when we started on it. William wanted to have an RTS game where he could play from a 3rd person perspective, and so we started to brainstorm what that would look like. Along the way our goal slightly shifted from the RTS genre as we put in different gameplay elements that we enjoyed from other games and that would fit better with Stoneguard.
We finally came up with a grim, fantasy sci-fi invasion apocalypse, with the core gameplay being centered around defending the magical Lifestone. This led us to having a mix of genres in a single game: survival, strategy, settlement building, survivor and resource management, crafting, with fun varied combat with lots of blood and gore.
Stoneguard centers on defending a magical Lifestone and is the game we wanted to play, made under the demanding schedule of our four cats!
The game is still in development, with Early access right around the corner.
One of the main reasons for launching in Early Access is so that your ideas and inputs on Stoneguard shape it into a better game. For this very reason, we look forward to staying in close touch with our community for feedback, suggestions and more!
We will be having consistent updates both small and large during Early Access until full release. Look forward to seeing bug fixes, quality of life updates along with content expansions!
Thank you all for following our journey thus far, more content will soon be released in the forms of: devlogs, feature spotlights, festival participations as well as an Early Access ROADMAP.
We hope to welcome you to our grim, yet fantastical world soon. Join us and wishlist our game today!
Thank you,
William and Honor
