Hello everyone!

Following on from our previous devblog about the world and regions of Goblin Stone, we'll be sharing the new biomes and locations that we are currently working on for the second story arc of Goblin Stone. Explore the northern region of Goblin Stone with us and learn tidbits of its lore and development.

In the second act, our goblin heroes will arrive in Ettinfells after traveling up north and over a wasteland. This region has three prominent biomes: the Wasteland, Mountain and Swamp biomes.

THE WASTELAND

Across the border into the western range of the Ettinfells is an unsettling view of the wasteland where the war between the menfolk and monsterfolk took place. We conceptualized the wasteland as a desolate, war-torn land where ominous clouds loomed heavy over it, robbing creatures of any sense of hope for peace in this land.

THE SWAMPS

Kobolds occupy the swampy area of Ettinfells. We imagined the East Ettinfells to be a swampy place filled with enchantment and mystery. Despite being shrouded in fog, the artifacts and structures built and scattered by the monsterfolk who inhabit this wetland give it a welcoming appearance. Large trees like Willows and Mangroves are abundant in this area as well as gigantic mushrooms.

THE MOUNTAINS

The Ettinfells region was once a safe haven for Trolls until their war with the Menfolk drove most of them to seek refuge in the mountains' hills and borders. The mountain biomes feature steep rocky mountains and sunset-colored canyons that stretch across the region. The paths along the mountainside are so narrow that even the smallest creature such as a goblin could trip and fall if they get too close to the edge.

The majority of the Ettinfells are inhabited by Menfolk, Trolls, and Kobolds. Other dark and mysterious characters will appear in this region as well, but we'll leave that for everyone to discover when the game launches this 2023. Please keep an eye out for it or join us in our official Discord community to get a sneak peek at what we have in store for you!
