It's been roughly 6 years since the idea of Goblin Stone was born, and we'd like to thank everyone who has accompanied us on our development adventures as we build this game. We apologize for keeping everyone waiting, and we know you're just as excited about our launch as we are.

Today, we are announcing that we will be releasing the game as a single full release instead of going the Early Access route. This shift has come after the team here at Orc Chop Games put careful thought into the marketing budget and efforts required to bring the game to market successfully. Unfortunately, this means we all have to wait a bit longer to play the game. But on the flipside, we can all look forward to a full game release with the complete story, new characters and locations, and epic roguelike adventures!

In addition, after a careful review of our development plans and taking into account our community's suggestions from previous testing sessions, we believe that there is more that we want to do to perfect the game experience. We are also thrilled to share that we have already finished the first half of the game's content for the release. The Orc Chop Team is currently focused on implementing the final chapters of Goblin Stone and improving the game system to improve the roguelike experience. There is still a lot of work to be done on our backlog, but we will make sure that everything is ready for the launch and that you end up with a great game in your hands.

DEMO UPDATE

Yes, you read that right! After reading the feedback from our previous announcement on STEAM about the removal of the demo version on Steam, we reconsidered bringing back the demo on STEAM. The new demo version will be shorter than the first demo, but just long enough to offer the player a general feel of how the game works, particularly in combat and adventure. 

Players can now choose to begin their game by using the Tutorial mode to learn the basics of the game or jump straight into adventure with a party of 6 goblins led by our Discord community’s favorite goblin, BellPunter.

As this is a short demo, some features will not be available in the demo like the Goblin lair but you’ll noticeably see the visual upgrades, quality of life and interface improvements that we’ve recently added to the game.

The new Goblin Stone demo is released on STEAM. Grab your free demo copy at the store page and test your strategic skills as you lead these goblins for their survival.

If you enjoyed the demo, please let your friends know by sharing, adding it to your wish list, and subscribing to Goblin Stone on STEAM.
