• v1.14 Out Now - 4 August 2025

  Version 1.14 contains the following additions and changes: Fixed some spell hover texts that were missing, concerning Meteor, Nurture, Energy Well, Specters and Spikes and Sunspot! Meteor now causes fire or earth damage, it is random! Added new skills Light Bonus, Dark Bonus, Nature Bonus and Ice Bonus to provide boosts to the new spells. The monster power called Dent Armor has been changed so that the effects are more potent. This power will lower your armor value for up to 20seconds, making you easier to damage. From level 2 onwards if you are running out of energy you will find you auto-use food in your inventory (not limited to power bar) and don`t have to manually use it. Using items from your inventory and even the auto-food use feature now show an animated icon to represent the item that was used. Changed the behavior of the Swords and Daggers skills. These now provide a random a…

• v1.13 the Lost Tunnels and Mushy Updates - 28 July 2025

  Today sees the release of patch v1.13, this is technically the one month from release Birthday Patch.The Lost Tunnels accessible via digging with a shovel have been updated over the last two patches and are now considered complete.As well as the monsters now dropping Imp Sigils, and Greater Imp Sigils which can be turned it at Mushy inside his lair, the map now contains the boss Pokey.Mushy has gone from a cute NPC with limited functionality to providing numerous exchange quests both for turning in mushrooms to get Spore scrolls, and for turning in Sigils to get rewards such as Encasement scrolls and ancient pieces of jewelry that Mushy found while wandering the tunnels themselves.This patch also contains several minor and major bug fixes and some tweaks for the Standalone version.Finally I have begun adding new instructional videos to our YouTube channel, check out this playlist!I hope…

• v1.12 has been released! - 25 July 2025

  NOTE: This patch only applies to the full release version and not the demo version. It contains the following: Mimic monsters may now spawn in a select few locations. Opal Charged Birthstone effect has been changed, you now get full fly time plus a 10 second fly time buff for 60 seconds. Consuming any kind of potion now gives an empty bottle at the end of it. Empty bottles are a crafting ingredient for Alchemy and needed to craft potions. Expanded crafting to allow for a third ingredient when crafting. When using a shovel, if you have unlocked the Lair of Mushy you'll end up there instead of the Lost Tunnels when the teleport triggers. The change to potions is essentially to make it slightly more realistic but to also show you how recycling works!

• Patch v1.11 - 20 July 2025

  This is a stability patch providing numerous fixes, including: Inventory Quantity and Power Quantity Stacking Glitch that may have meant the amount of items in your inventory was out of sync with your Power Bar Quantity. Energy Well may have been glitched for some and could not be picked up off the ground when it drops. Corrected a couple of grammatical issues with some of the quest screens.

• Patch v1.07 out now! - 13 July 2025

  Patch v1.07 adds the following features and changes: Added a Statistics button to the Achievements screen to allow you to see additional metrics that were previously hidden. Iridium armor is now visible as a crafting item when you go above level 7, previously it hid but as you need Iridium to make Stone armor it makes no sense for that to continue. Crafted (i.e. the number of times you crafted an item) is now recorded as a metric. Clicking on your Birthstone or Cataclysm on the Character screen will now repeat the text you saw when you were assigned that item. Birthstone powers now kick in more frequently. Completely redesigned the lighting system, lighting should now be a lot prettier. ESC key now triggers the game menu as well as the ~ key. Fixed and issue where the Change Log and Options menu items from the in-game menu may not have been selectable from keyboard or controller. Window…

  Sadly, out of the box we offer no guarantees on Steam Deck compatibility.However one player has successfully managed to get the game to work on Steam Deck with the odd crash.https://steamcommunity.com/app/2821720/discussions/0/592901757752929371/According to Dreamerr:Switch to desktop mode and get ProtonUp or whatever way you get/update glorious eggroll proton.Install GE-Proton10-8 and set it as the games compatibility toolDisable steam overlay.It crashes every so often but not terribleI'll update this post if new ways are discovered to get it to run.Thanks for checking Banished Stone out!

• Banished Stone adds Prophecies and Cataclysms - 7 July 2025

  A feature update primarily with a couple of bug fixes.This update adds the PACS system which stands for Prophecies and Cataclysms.You'll be randomly assigned a Birthstone (Prophecy) when you enter the Elder Forest for the second time. Old players simply go back to the Elder Forest after loading the update, new players do nothing and you'll eventually trigger it.Later on you'll run into the Sayer NPC and will get a Cataclysm assigned to your character.Also includes:Adjusted the baked on text feature, so the newbie tips will indeed go away at level 2 as expected. Seems like they were sticking till level 3 instead.You now also have a Birthstone power bar, when this reaches full (which happens from combat) it will auto-trigger a new special power unique to that Birthstone.Fleeing monsters now show a fright speech bubble before they run.Fixed an issue with some shadows on objects on the map…

• v1.04 with some more helpers added! - 30 June 2025

  Here are the following changes for v1.04. The Auto NPC option in Options now defaults to on, you can change it to off if you don`t like this behavior. Tweaked the outline effect when selecting an NPC or object, performance has improved because of it. Changed the baked on text system, to show the relevant and related key or button press above it. This is more intuitive. Added a ton more baked on text helper tips in the Inn, Frontiersville and the Elder Forest. These go away after level 1 and are solely designed to give new players a helping hand.

• v1.03 Fps Counter and Screen Resolution Configuration Added - 29 June 2025

  It's a small patch by recent standards, but important none the less. FPS Counter Display Press the / key to open the game command line and then type fps (/fps) and it enter to toggle a FPS counter on or off. Changing Resolution Previously I had assumed a one size fits all approach and the game scaled to fit your current resolution, I recognize this may have had pitfalls so now I have added a way to change your resolution via the new Resolutions button on the Options screen (once a character is loaded). A list of resolutions will be provided, with recommended sizes fitting closer to the preferred 16:9 ratio indicated with a gold crown and not recommended with a red mask. Changing to one of these resolutions will be almost instant, and it should revert back to your original resolution upon exit. Although from this point forth it is recommended you exit the game via the Menu and the Exit c…

While the spell lasts 60 - 90 seconds, it was a little overpowered so changing the cooldown should make it more meaningful.You can now bump into a loot drop to pick i…

  Here's just part of the changes made to this version, ahead of the launch on June 26th. Tab key now toggles Story mode on and off.

• v0.92 Released for All Builds - 2 May 2025

  Good things come to those who wait! At least that's what the vibe is with this patch. Included in this version, just about everything but the kitchen sink (although there is now a kitchen sink in the kitchen of the Inn). NPCs now react to certain scenarios making them like you or not. An NPC that likes you may give you store discounts, extra quests and more. - See the new GIFT button on some NPCS.

The Switch Character screen now also lists characters that only exist in backup form, allowing you to restore your character without going to the backup screen.
