- Version 0.5.24 - 9 September 2026
Some bug fixes for: - Not being able to equip items on certain survivors. This happened when a survivor healed from a broken arm and the equip button was still disabled. - Screen resolutions, though it may still be a problem if the game detects a higher resolution from a second monitor. A subtle but nice visual update for buildings and foliage; they no longer have hard edges where they meet the ground. We see your feedback and are addressing the main issues as well as progressing with the development of the next major update, so thank you for your patience!

- Endless Mode Is now live on Stoneguard! - 14 August 2026
Hello everyone!Based on community feedback, we’re introducing Endless Mode to Stoneguard with this update. This new mode is for players who want to push their settlement beyond the standard campaign, face increasingly relentless nights, and see just how long their Lifestone can survive.A Fight Without EndEndless Mode will use a random enemy spawn system built around an incrementing point value, following the same escalating rhythm as Stoneguard’s six-day boss cycles. As the nights continue, the threats will grow stronger, more varied, and more demanding, requiring you to constantly adapt your defenses, resources, and battle plans.On later nights, enemies will arrive in multiple waves spaced roughly 60 seconds apart. Holding the first attack will not mean the danger has passed. You'll need to repair breaches, reposition defenders, and prepare for the next push before it reaches the Lifes…

- Expand the Settlement, Extend the Defense! - 5 May 2026
Expand the Settlement, Extend the Defense!In Stoneguard, survival isn’t just about holding one wall, it's about deciding how far your settlement can safely grow before the night becomes too dangerous. Every new workshop, storage area, or defensive outpost changes how your camp functions, while opening up more opportunities for the enemy as you stretch your defenses thin. The more you expand, the more every structure starts to matter.As your village grows, so does the challenge of keeping it secure. A bigger settlement means longer supply lines, more vulnerable edges, and more opportunities for enemies to exploit any unguarded gaps. That makes expansion feel like a risk-reward decision rather than a simple upgrade, every new section of your camp has to earn its place by helping you survive the next wave. Stoneguard makes every stretch of land feel like a promise and a threat at the same…
- Becoming the Ruler of Earth! - 8 April 2026
Lead From the Front: Become the Ruler of Earth! In Stoneguard, you’re not a distant camera looking down on a tiny village, you are the Ruler of Earth, living and fighting alongside the last remnants of your people. You’ve fled the fallen capital with the Lifestone in hand, and every decision you make from that moment on determines whether humanity’s spark survives another night.By day, you walk the same paths your villagers do. You watch workers hauling stone to the walls you ordered built, hear the clang of iron as weapons are forged, and pass by the tents where injured defenders recover. Placing buildings, planning defenses, and assigning jobs all feel different when you know you’ll be the one sprinting across that same ground once the battle horn sounds.Stoneguard is a third-person action-strategy game that puts players on the front lines as a commander who must personally engage in…
- One Day, One Night: The Cycle of Stoneguard! - 30 March 2026
One Day, One Night: The Cycle of Stoneguard!In Stoneguard, every day is preparation and every night is a test. The sunlit hours feel almost calm on the surface, villagers working, production chains humming, walls slowly rising but every decision you make is really about one thing: will this be enough when darkness falls?By day, you juggle more needs than you can satisfy. Do you push your villagers to expand the outer walls, or shore up the weak spots you already know about? Do you invest in new weapons, more towers, or finally extend that resource line you’ve been putting off? Food, materials, defenses, and more compete for the same limited time, and the truth is simple: you can’t do everything before sundown. The moment the sun dips below the horizon, the atmosphere shifts abruptly. Daily routines halt, the horn blares, and attention narrows to the Lifestone. This transition instantly…
- Wood, Stone, and Iron: Crafting Your Weapons in Stoneguard - 23 March 2026
Wood, Stone, and Iron: Crafting Your Weapons in Stoneguard! In Stoneguard, your arsenal is the foundation of your defense, not just a collection of gear. The weapons you equip are critical to your strategy, determining how effectively you can hold back the darkness. Whether you rely on simple spears and sturdy shields, formidable heavy blades, or accurate ranged weaponry, the choices you make are the difference between your villagers repelling the horde at the walls or being quickly overwhelmed.By day, you’ll gather materials and invest precious resources into your armory. Every ingot, plank, and rare component you spend on weapons is something you’re not using on walls or towers, so each craft is a deliberate choice. Do you arm a few elite defenders with high quality gear, or spread simpler weapons across the entire village so everyone can stand and swing when the battle horn sounds?We…
- The Lifestone: Heart of Your Hope, Target of the Horde - 10 March 2026
The Lifestone,The beacon your enemies are drawn to, the reason your people fled the capital and the one object you cannot afford to lose. As long as the Lifestone endures, there’s a chance to rebuild, to heal and push back the alien onslaught, even if your walls are broken and your villagers are battered.Protecting the Lifestone isn’t just about stacking walls around it. It’s about everything that comes before the first claw hits the stone: How you shape your settlement, Who you assign to gather what What you’re willing to sacrifice if the front line starts to crumble. Do you pull defenders back early to make sure some survive to fight another night, or do you commit everyone to a last stand at the Lifestone?The Lifestone also represents your ability to recover. As long as it’s safe, there are ways to mend wounds, replace lost limbs with crude prosthetic limbs, and turn yesterday’s disa…
- When the Battle Horn Sounds, the Whole Village Marches to the Walls! - 4 March 2026
Workers to Warriors: When the Battle Horn Sounds, the Whole Village Marches to the Walls!In Stoneguard, your villagers are more than background workers they’re the heart of your defense, ready to trade tools for weapons the moment the battle horn sounds.By day, they till fields, chop wood, mine stone, and haul resources back to town, quietly keeping the lifeblood of your settlement flowing. Every wall segment, tower, weapon, and prosthetic limb exists because someone planted crops, smelted ore, or worked the forge instead of standing on the front line. You’ll learn their routines, assign their jobs, and build your entire strategy on the backs of these ordinary people just trying to survive another day beneath an alien sky.But when dusk settles and the battle horn echoes across the settlement, those same villagers drop their tools, grab their gear, and sprint for the walls. The farmer yo…
