Vote Stone Story RPG for "Most Innovative Gameplay" in the Steam Awards!
Hello Stoneheads,
We’d like to ask for your support in nominating Stone Story RPG for the “Most Innovative Gameplay” Steam Award!
Somewhere between idler, auto-battler, and game engine you’ll find Stone Story RPG. The player journey in SSRPG is a continual progression of discovery and exploration, whether you’re puzzling through the crafting system at Hour 3 or unlocking the full potential of the Mind Stone at Hour 300.
We’ve come a long way, and we’re excited for what we’ve still got ahead!
We are thrilled to have had so many people participate in the most recent StoneJam! StoneJam 6 absolutely blew us away. The sheer volume and creativity from our community is nothing short of astounding. Utility scripts, animated cosmetics, and even Tetris are just a few of the many entries submitted by players!
Your creativity and dedication have once again exceeded our expectations, and we are delighted to share some highlights and express our gratitude for your incredible contributions.

StoneJam 6 Results
StoneJam 6 was rather overwhelming for us on the SSRPG team!
To give some reference, StoneJam 5 had around a dozen submissions. StoneJam 6, on the other hand, clocked in at a whopping 71 submissions. We were impressed at the huge range of entries, like new minigames, cosmetics, and even a fully-functional painting tool!
It’s taken some time for us to sort things out, especially as we continue development on other parts of the game. We’re currently working with submission authors and will soon feature StoneJam 6 entries as official scripts in-game.
We’ll take a look at some StoneJam 6 submissions and talk about upcoming plans for the project, particularly in ways we can better integrate the community into the game (like leaderboards, story content, and more).
Looking Ahead
As mentioned earlier, Stone Story RPG’s development continues onwards. Pre-production for Part 2 and Part 3 have begun, which will take players to Acropolis and beyond.
Soon, players can look forward to a new Legend quest: Head Over Heels. An employee of the Skeleton Chest Factory has reached out with a curious request for the Stonehead… What could be in store at this warehouse of bones?

What is StoneJam about?
StoneJam was conceived as a way to experiment with Stonescript, a scripting language built directly into Stone Story RPG. Easy to use yet powerful, scripts can be as simple as automating potions if your health gets low, optimizing combat to superhuman levels, or even creating new cosmetics and UI features!
With each new update we continue to expand what's possible with Stonescript. We want to see what YOU can create! Some of the projects that people have made with Stonescript include:
Minigames
Pets and cosmetics
Custom UI elements (e.g. healthbars, ability timers)
ASCII-art and animations
…and more!
Collaborations between participants are more than welcome (and in fact encouraged).
Instructions in the Mind Stone* are written in Stonescript, a minimalist language designed for use by everyone. If you don’t want to script, use the Mind Stone as your canvas to create ASCII art!
*(Note: Stonescript features are unlocked part-way through playing the game. If you’re new to scripting or need a quick refresher, check out this tutorial we’ve written up: https://stonestoryrpg.com/stonescript/intro_tutorial.html)
Here is a list of changes to Stonescript since the last StoneJam:
New namespaces - BigNumber, for dealing with infinitely long numbers. - key, for rebinding keyboard shortcuts.
Changes - Parameter "u" can be used to `disable` Utility Belt UI (mobile). - Abilities can be activated by their id. E.g.: "activate cinderwisp"
Deprecated - time.ms
I’m a mobile player; can I still participate?
Yes!
While working with Stonescript on mobile may be a bit more challenging, there are ways that you as a mobile player can participate in StoneJam.
We recommend working with cosmetics as the easiest way to get into mobile scripting. For the more ambitious users, it is still possible to work with UI, Games, and other types of StoneScript creations!
Check out community members Rex and Agerak’s guides on mobile compatible imports and how to edit existing imports:
StoneJam is a chance for our community to work together and bring StoneScript to its limits. All participants in StoneJam will earn a commemorative shiny treasure, and our favorite submissions will be invited to be an official addition to the game.
We’re also excited to bring back Bounties!
Bounties are a way for us to collaborate with and challenge our community. Players can complete specific projects to earn larger rewards, including Steam Wallet funds, in-game items, and development credits for Stone Story RPG.
Congratulations, you now have the @stonejam role! With this you’ll be able to see the StoneJam Discord channels
Participate via the Discord event channels:
#stonejam6-discuss - StoneJam discussion chat
#stonejam6-submit - Entry submissions
How do I submit my StoneJam entry?

Version number of the script
Instructions on how to use it
Drop your script into #stonejam5-submit, along with screenshots and/or gifs of your entry in action.
