The Finale is here!
With just 12 hours left, the stage has been set for what will be remembered as a massive success, all thanks to the fans who made it real!
With our final hours on Kickstarter, and with our amazing followers and fans beginning to pledge their final support, also comes the final opportunity for people to grab some of our sick limited edition rewards!
These final hours can be the most important swing for a Kickstarter, so if you are still on the fence, this is your last chance to support our game here on Kickstarter!
Kickstarter has been an incredible journey for us, from our 2019 pre-Covid Kickstarter, all the way until we grown to what we are today -- all because of you. I have a special thank you to YOU the reader in your emails if you hadn't seen it yet, and if you have already pledged your support, I wanted to make some final notes of appreciation to the people who are helping us on our final hours on Kickstarter!
MOKU TOWER
This is an awesome group on Kickstarter that reached out to us for some final cross promotion!
Moku Tower transforms wood art into an artistic, interactive and strategic dexterity game. The theme of Moku Tower is to integrate wood art into tabletop game. Moku Tower combines the concept of "timing", "stacking" and "strategy" into one single game. It allows you to casually mess round, laugh and interact closely with your cool friends.
Moku Tower is not only a great party game, but also an amazing home decoration that can impress your friends. When you are not playing, you can simply display Moku Tower as an art piece. Each piece of wood has its own unique cutting and angle, making Moku Tower one of your most exquisite and unique home decoration.
Support Moku Tower HERE , because I already got myself a box!
I also wanted to make a special thank you to our early Kickstarter buddy, Gelatinous - Humanity Lost, and also to a very special individual, Haevermaet Anthony, for being so proactive in helping us. They weren't the only ones either, many of you reading this have been the ones who helped us along the way on this journey, and we hope you stick around to see what happens after!
If it sounds like a goodbye, it isn't! We still have 12 hours on Kickstarter, AND our discord community to join! We have so many things planned just for you, and I hope you trek with us when we go down Below the Stone together.

The finale is just around the corner, and the way this series ends will blow your socks off.
The season finale is just around the corner for Below the Stone's Kickstarter, and we're certain that it will be an legendary ending to a campaign -- because of YOU.
Only 36 hours left to fight!
Many of you know the story by now, in 2019 we had a Kickstarter which didn't hit it's funding goal of $10,000. It was a rough hit to us, but we ended up looking at it as a massive win, due to all the new fans who loved what we were doing. To imagine we would be here where we are today is incredible. The resounding success that we look at today has been the ultimate story of the underdog fighting it's way to the top, and we have all of you to thank for it in our final hours here on Kickstarter.
Final chance at the Below the Stone Big Box!
As we close in on these final hours, we managed to reach our latest stretch goals, find our Big Boxes getting their final purchases, and a wave of fans joining our community, and it has been amazing to watch as developers.
Lets show what we can do as a community, when we are aII Below the Stone together.
Shout outs / Special Thanks:
This short section includes a few special people you should check out here on Kickstarter! We also have a few up and coming Kickstarters you should sign up to!
Midautumn: A supernatural rogue-lite
Midautumn has been super amazing to work with here on Kickstarter, they helped our campaign so much, and we wanted to make a really special shout out to them and let people know that they deserve more attention!
Midautumn is a supernatural game about blasting evil spirits, saving your hometown from gentrification, and Asian diaspora culture. For Robin Lam, crashing at Grandma's was meant to be a break from their responsibilities.

LAST SOUL - A Shooting Sci-Fi Adventure for Mankind
Mankind lost its will to live. This cute-shooting robot is the last hope. Join this Mario with SuperGuns adventure! LAST SOUL's developers helped us some of the most during our early sign ups here on Kickstarter, so we thought it would be perfect to shout them out right before they launched!!
We did win the race to 600 sign-ups against them before we launched, but LAST SOUL is now close to 700 sign ups! -- A place we never got to, help them show us up and sign up below!
Shrine's Legacy is a SNES-styled 2D Co-op Action RPG coming to Kickstarter next month! I absolutely love their art style, and their two man indie team has been really supportive of our Kickstarter campaign here. If you want to support their campaign, sign up to be notified of their launch later this month!
Collect, hunt and cook aliens to deliver juicy food around the galaxy in this humoristic cooking-action adventure for PC and Switch. Space Chef's developers have been a wonder to promote with, and they helped our campaign as well, so make sure to sign up to be notified when they launch soon!
And of course, THANK YOU, reader, for supporting and following our campaign.
It begins to sound corny after saying it many times, but we truly mean it. THANK YOU for helping us get to where we are, without you, we would have never possibly made the game that it is today. We still have 36 hours in our final push!
Make sure to like, comment, and share, because it helps the algorithm know we are doing something right!
Thank you. Each and every one of you who reads this.

Almost 48 hours left! - Unlocked keychains & Kingdom Construction
almost 5 years ago

LAST CHANCE TO SUPPORT OUR KICKSTARTER:
Our recent stretch goal was a HUMUNOUS milestone in our journey here on Kickstarter, and with only 60 hours left. I want to thank everyone for backing us, and also boosting our pledges to get us here! The next 2 days will be your last chance to support our Kickstarter campaign, so if you are on the fence about boosting your pledge for the keychain & Stickers, grabbing a Limited Edition numbered copy Big Box, or even just grabbing a T-shirt, this will be the last opportunity to do it!
Now that we've hit $35,000, we will be rewarding Below the Stone keychains for anyone who ups their pledge by just 25 dollars from the regular game tier, to 50 dollars, as well as all the additional rewards that already come with it! We wanted to do keychains as a tier, but felt the tiers may have been bloated, but now we've made it possible, thanks to you!
New construction will begin at the dwarven kingdom, this time with YOU in charge. After saving them from the caves, you'll unlock the "Builder" NPC at the dwarven kingdom. You will be able to place NPCs where you'd like, build your kingdom's shape, size, and make it into what you want it to be. Thanks to you, this will now be one of the features we begin working on in the coming year!
With your final support, you have made this happen!
LAST MINUTE SHOUT OUTS:
These very special people helped promote Below the Stone in the last few days, so we wanted to return the favor to these awesome projects! Go check them out:
Fractured Veil
Live out the apocalypse in the remains of Hawaii in this PC MMO. Build, explore, craft, survive and keep an aloha state of mind.
Fractured Veil is a survival MMO based in Hawaii. As a clone restored from incomplete data in a recently discovered Veilcorp backup system, players find themselves in a future Hawaii ravaged by the fracture and effects of time. Search for food, find clean water to drink, and build shelter in order to survive mutants and other players.
Group together with other players to explore, share resources, fight powerful foes, and rebuild the world that once was. Check our their awesome campaign here!:
Agents of Influence: Cyber Danger is a spy-themed educational video game that teaches students how to recognize and combat the misinformation they encounter in their daily lives.
In this game, students learn about topics including data collection and tracking, algorithms, echo chambers, impostor content, logical fallacies, and data fallacies while practicing three critical thinking skills: research, document analysis, and conversations.
Agents of Influence was born out of the realization that if we can’t trust the information we consume every day, we can’t accurately make the decisions that are most important to us. Our goal is to equip this generation of digital natives with the tools and knowledge they need so they can make the right decisions about what matters most to them.
And of course, THANK YOU to YOU, the reader, for supporting our campaign!
We appreciate each and every one of you, and we hope that the last 48 hours on Kickstarter is just as much of a smashing success as our entire Kickstarter has been so far!
Thank you!

The last push is here! 96 hours left to support us!
Thank you all so much for getting us to where we are, because we're almost to our first bonus reward! Each of you reading this has helped us in some way, whether it was backing, sharing, or cross-promoing with our campaign!
ADDITIONAL NEWS: With the consent of the people who pledged at the God Under the Stone tier, we increased the number of copies that were originally limited to 3, to have them now be limited to 5. This tier was made for a special few people, and from the messages I got of people who wanted to do this tier, this is your final chance to get it!
They say the last 48 hours of a campaign can be the most important to making a final push on Kickstarter. We're currently at 162% of our goal, but we can see it getting close to 200% if we continue to have awesome supporters like the ones below who helped out campaign! So I wanted to make a special update for them for helping us out along the way!
Special shout outs to these four amazing campaigns!
I wanted to write a special section to those who have supported our campaign so far by sharing us. Check them out and see what you think!

A shout out to our Gelatinous friends!
almost 5 years ago
– Wed, Sep 29, 2021 at 11:29:10 AM
Huge 'thank you' to our friends who have supported us so far!
We are getting close to the final 96 hours of our campaign here, and what a wild ride it has been! From getting 20k in just just 4 days, to now getting close to breaching our $35,000 goal, we only have all of you and the people who shared us to thank!
I wanted to make a special mention to Steven Long's "Gelatinous: Humanity Lost", a new game to add to your Nintendo Game Boy's library! They wrote a very well written update for us, so we plan on doing the same for them!
As you can probably tell, we love pixel art here at Strollart Studio; and the same can be set for those developing GELATINOUS.
The retro aesthetic of an original Game Boy brick with a green screen, and the unfiltered frustration of old-school challenge gets our boxes booming. The goal of their campaign is to pay homage to the original Game Boy, while also giving people a new option of game to play!
Gelatinous is a platforming adventure inspired by games like Mega Man, Metroid, Castlevania, and many others. All games that also inspired the pixel art of games like ours generations later. There will be a physical edition you can grab right now on their Kickstarter below!
