Stonemachia is a Action Souls_Like about chess that fight angels made of stone.
The main gameplay revolves around fast-paced challenging combat, exploration and of course the main mechanics: chess switching.
In Stonemachia, the player will have the ability to change between the pawn, the knight, the Bishop and the rook; each one with unique ability and movement.
The game is set in Medhelan, an extremely distorted version of Milan and the main goal is to collect all the chess pieces in order to kill Zerafim, the supreme angel.

Me not reading the rules: Oh they are handing tickets to the theater pre release event that amazing. Me on stream still not reading the rules: Oh They are handing tickets to the theater thats great still! Me finally reading the rules I CAN BE A MODEL ON THE FRONT ROW?! NOW I KNOW I MUST WIN

Lanfigura d'ombra ha quello che io chiamo lo "sguardo da tarabuso".
Plese do an easter egg for this head😂😂😂
What if I told you that you can put a head on your head?👀
Can i just ask nicely for my name to be on the theater seats? :((
Aww, how cute (no, we want to see the blood of our enemies flow).
Quanto si sente che sei italiano dalla pronuncia 🤣(io sono anche peggio). Bell'idea comunque e complimenti per il gioco. Spero diventi importante all'uscita come è stato lies of p al tempo
Assolutamente voluto, gioco italiano, ambientato in Italia, accento italiano (non abbiamo i soldi per i doppiatori 🗿)
@@stonemachia Tbh non è neanche il classico accento ma è molto carismatico! Kudos al dubber :3
Hey that's a really nice rendention buttttt can this beauty even run in my laptop? Mind you it has no fancy tidbits like a graphics card. (Ryzen 5 3500u)
@@TotallySaneGuy-yz7ui Unfortunately, Stonemachia really struggles on laptops, and Unreal 5 often requires a graphics card, I'm sorry :(
@@stonemachia That's a bit of a letdown but nothing that I didn't expect. Anyway, my lappie barely runs anything that's being released nowadays and I don't think I'm going to leave it anytime soon. Nevertheless, I have been thinking about your game for quite a while, it's a charming piece of work that's been in the corner of my mind for the past few weeks..
@@TotallySaneGuy-yz7ui Thank you so much, and I’m very sorry. If it were up to me, I would want this game to run even on calculators, but unfortunately, years ago I made the irreversible decision to develop it on Unreal Engine 5, making it significantly heavier than traditional indie games. I hope one day you will be able to play it
Such a great arrangement
La cosa che mi sorprende è che l'Alfiere non abbia un qualche stendardo o che non sia il mago/prete del gruppo (dal bishop inglese). Sarei curioso di sapere quale idea avevi per la classe.
@@SIGNOR-G molto semplice, Stonemachia è un gioco che parla sì di scacchi, ma la lore si rifletterà proprio sulla loro identità sacra nella storia, c'è un'estrema discrepanza del loro significato per gli abitanti di Medhelan e gli angeli. Non vado oltre per spoiler, ma la spiegazione pratica è che noi volevamo fare un gioco action puro, essendo la cosa incompatibile con il "gameplay" degli scacchi originali, siamo andati full in e abbiamo rotto tutte le regole rompibili, consapevolmente, siccome nella storia c'è molto la tematica della rottura di dogmi prestabiliti. Detto questo più di un elemento ispirato agli scacchi originali sarà presente.
@@stonemachia ah capisco. Va bene così. Ovviamente è tardi però voglio farvi notare che esistono interessantissime armature mediavli da vescovi. Se si cerca online il Bishop Helm si trovano delle immagini che sono perfette per ispirarsi.
Awesome!! The way you orchestrated and arranged the original one is astonishing, merging it with elements typical of jrpg's OSTs made it really epic! Can't wait to hear more of it❤
@@teocount thank you so much Teo❤️
I really love the music! Keep up the good work! 👍

Hai idea di quanto ci vorrà a finirlo? E sai su quali piattaforme lo farai uscire?
@@tragedious senza dare date precise, potrebbero volerci ancora dai 9 agli 11 mesi ma è una fase delicata per dare date precise e sicure. PC ovviamente mentre il porting, essendo indipendenti e senza budget sarà possibile solamente se la versione Steam andrà bene!
Cazz, non vedo l'ora di mettere le mani su questa perla o.o
Would be great if you gave it an ability to turn 90* on a dime since that is how it moves in chess. Maybe have it as an ability during a dash attack or a way to have it ping pong off others in 90* bounces. I understand having the knight (due to it being a horse) have a charging attack but since it is the only piece that can actually jump over other pieces while the bishop and rook are known for charging,
This looks awesome!
@@kicsiduda Thanks! 💟
I like the Audience throwing flowers on stage.
@@ArcadeTheatre there is a secret interaction where they can throw to you something else... 💩
This game is so pretty
@@Nogerestel thank you! ❤️
This is amazing
@@jamesgraham6492 thank you James!
Ah, so that is the other way to cheat the auto-parry. I didn't realize how many skill effects that would be carried over to the other pieces if you decide to change piece. I guess I still need to git gud even more. That is a banger music anyway. I always enjoy the music in the trailer and the game. Keep it up!
there is a lot of hidden combos eheh! Thank you so much Steamknight as always.
@@stonemachia I thought the pawn's light disc effect is leaving a trap behind while having a weaker version of the bishop's rotating light disc surrounding it. Oh, I'm so, so wrong there. LMAO
yo thats so peak
Thank you so much!
Non ho idea di quale rivelazione divina ti sia arrivata ma stai plasmando un grande gioco.
Grazie mille! Un'idea di tanti anni ormai

I'm NOT GONNA SUGARCOAT IT
So want this on console 😊
Get a real marketing team or person... as hyped as I was about the game you just made me un sub to this channel coz it became annoying more than anything. Please ask anyone with any knowledge on how to handle this channel. Its just sad at this point. Will still by the game.
Hi, could you please specify what you find annoying? Unfortunately, we don't have a budget, and the videos are made by developers in their spare time. Over time, we definitely want to improve and dedicate more resources.
@stonemachia You should really get someone or consult anyone with any knowledge or expertise of which I'm neither and the following is just my opinions and what annoyed me : Posting tutorial-sque less than one 1 minute videos about a character mechanics with AI-Voice over and middle of the screen subtitles in Shorts/TikTok style. I am no expert but almost everything here mesh-mashed in that sentence is wrong. I'm pretty sure the average KZread video length is around 11.7 minutes with the platform leaning towered longer videos, this lifeless AI subtitles short video can work in Tiktok and KZread shorts if the aspect ratio is changed. This is on the formatting side. Content wise it's insane that most of the videos aside from the trailers focus on characters and mechanics and while those are adorable and good the selling point for me at least and most of the comments I see is the undeniable game atmosphere and charm , It's cultivating, the artstyle is oozing with creativity. Yet we are getting videos that are the equivalent of a tutorial made with windows movie maker. No one likes tutorials (specially for mechanics that while I'm sure are fun but are 100% not re-inventing the genre meaning it wont gain attraction). Also call me old fashioned but I like to experience my game first hand and bond with the characters and mechanics while discovering-exploring them. (This is mostly subjective me thing tho). Again I will 100% buy, play and recommend the game. And I'm 100% sure the people who are making these videos have nothing but the best in heart and they are genuine but generally speaking it's not advisable to have Devs do PR. It just felt sad and annoying to see all potential this game has be treated this way while it could be much much more. Again one more time the game looks amazing combo and mechs looks fun as hell I'm by no mean criticizing the game or its content just the marketing or specifically this channel aspect of things. I cant believe you guys care enough to ask a random fan on feed back. You guys are all amazing the game's amazing, wish you nothing but the best and good luck.
@@abdkayali9574 Thank you for the constructive feedback, we will definitely take it to heart! None of us actually have an in-depth knowledge of marketing and video making, and the only way we can keep the KZread channel alive at this stage of development is by taking the videos we post on TikTok and reposting them on KZread. Additionally, unfortunately, we are still in the process of building the maps, which prevents us from showing them extensively without the fear that some elements may or may not be present in the final game. In that case, probably a "work in progress" label would suffice, but again, we have few marketing resources. We know how important marketing is, but we first want to reach a sufficiently advanced point to be able to show what we want. Again, thank you so much for the feedback; it will definitely be reflected in the next videos.
Love the opera house area
Quello di cui sono veramente curioso è di vedere la trama. Sto gioco è così fuori di testa che non riesco neanche a concepire una storia che possa far da collante. Scacchi contro gli angeli è estremamente METAL!
Played the demo months ago an had a lot of fun. Cant wait to find an wishlist you guys on steam an tell friends about you.
Thank you so much, the game is already wishlistable on Steam!
Ooohhh, so that is how you do those moves. I don't really use pawn that much and I rarely change pieces mid-combat. I usually pick a piece to use for this one group of enemies or boss and use it until I find another batch of enemies. And even if I do change pieces, I tend to do it among the rook, knight or bishop. Time to put this new info to practical use and hopefully make me use pawn as much as the other pieces. 😆
There are a lot of hidden combo also with other pieces 🗿👍
Not gonna lie, this game is so peak, I wish it releases soon. OFC please dont rush it, I just want to play it asap.
I usually not very good at parrying in games, but this looks to be fun and accessable. Although the demo craches before I can launch it on Steam, despite my computer being fit to run it?
Hi, I'm sorry that you can't play the demo, what message did you get on launch? Have you updated your video card driver?
@@stonemachia Havent done the latter, but the pop up just said it couldnt launch
@@stonemachia To be specific it just says "fatal error"
@@ragnarcadogan4196 huh, you're not the first one, after the recent update many people get this error, the only fix for now it's just reinstalling the demo :( I'm sorry, I will find a better fix soon

Oh, cool! The bishop got one hell of an upgrade in visual effects and move sets. That is awesome! And I can't wait to try the scythe pawn if it can freeze bosses and unleash that cool attack in the end. Good job! 👍
This is so great. It really looks like a fun boss to fight and what a great way to thank someone for a shoutout ^^ The music is also a banger
Bellissimo, sembra una boss fight di nier
Grazie mille!

From horse to unicorn ❤
Dude get someone who works in real marketing and/or social media management please. Maybe you can still capitalize on the traction you got.
Now that's what I call Horse Power
super excited to see where this game goes, though wondering who did the VO work for this, just curious
Hi, thank you very much! Unfortunately, since these are videos taken from our TikTok, they use the text-to-speech voiceover from Capcut Pro, while for the more important videos (like the one on the King's Gambit), it's the voice of our sound designer!
heh funny little horsey man go brrr
The game looks fantastic! But I want to lay the demo and dont have a controller. To make your beautiful creation more accesable to keyboard users would be smart.
Hi, thank you for your support. Have you had any particular issues with mouse and keyboard? We can help you. The game is playable with mouse and keyboard, but like all souls-like games, it's more suited to a controller.
@@stonemachia ts more so that Steam says I HAVE to have a controller to even boot it up, but thanks
@@ragnarcadogan4196 we will fix that immediately, thanks for noticing us!
The horn got an upgrade! That is cool! I can't wait to try it! 👍
