Welcome to the Nightfall Halloween Jam, and thanks for joining!

The one rule: use Stonehold: Nightfall (free) in your game: ridgeworksstudio.itch.io/stonehold-nightfall

What's in it:

• A gothic castle on a crag and a misty graveyard.
• Count Dracula, the Creature, a vampire hunter, a torch-and-pitchfork mob, and skeletons and zombies.
• 26 free sound effects and a ready-made Tiled map.
• A small playable starter game with plain, commented code to build on.

The small "Jam Kit" download has the essentials if you don't want the whole pack.

Submissions close November 4 at 12:00 PM. There's no voting: every finished game gets featured in a devlog on the Nightfall page.

Questions, stuck on something, or want to show early screenshots? Post them here, and we'll answer.

Happy haunting!

Update: the Atlas Wayfarer demo now has its real cast. Wren carries timber to Millbrook past the sawmill and market, with real villagers and Hobb's ox cart, all built from Pocket Atlas packs. The Pocket Atlas packs are also in our Halloween sale, 50% off until Nov 4.

New: Stonehold Siege: catapult, ballista, ram and siege tower with working crews, ladder and grappling-hook assaults, and a shield testudo to cover the ram. Plus Castle Kit v32 (free update) with damage states, and Groundweave is now free as the base terrain for the whole line.

New: Stonehold Village, 20 buildings with build stages, damage and fire, plus villagers, a pitchfork levy, farm animals and an alarm bell. Also out: Garrison v1.2 adds mounted knights, knights on foot and a general (free update), and Groundweave v14 fixes the dirt road and adds a stony stream. All in the Halloween sale, 50% off until Nov 4.

Two updates for Halloween:

• New, and free forever: Stonehold: Nightfall. A gothic castle on a cliff, a graveyard, Dracula and his household, Frankenstein's creature and doctor, a vampire hunter and a torch-and-pitchfork mob. Over 6,000 images on the Stonehold grid.
• Castle Kit v31 (free update): a full mossy stone wall style, 84 new pieces, plus cleaner round towers.

The paid Stonehold packs are still 50% off in the Halloween sale until Nov 4.

Update: Stonehold Garrison v1.1 is out. The army gets its seventh soldier, the halberdier (halberd up and swing poses plus a fallen body, all 6 team colours, both sizes, 4 directions, walk, hit, silhouettes and squad variants). It's a free update for everyone who already owns Garrison.

All three isometric packs are also in our Halloween sale, 50% off for 10 days starting tomorrow.
