Gameplay

Stonehearth features a procedurally-generated world where players manage a colony of people called "Hearthlings". Players are tasked with caring for their hearthlings including, feeding, sheltering, and defending them from the dangers like orcs and skeletons.

Development

Stonehearth was developed by Radiant Entertainment, a company founded by Tom and Tony Cannon, co-founders of the fighting game eSports event Evolution Championship Series. Described as a "passion project" by Tom Cannon, the brothers spent two years making a prototype before creating a Kickstarter campaign to fund the creation in 2013. Asking for $120,000 It ended with $751,920 with 22,844 backers. After the success of the Kickstarter, the development team was expanded with friends of the brothers after pitching the idea to them.

Tom Cannon credits Maxis' Sim games and Dwarf Fortress as inspiration for the city-building mechanics, while the class system was inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together.

On June 3, 2015, the game was released on Steam Early Access.

Development on the game ended in 2018 with several promised features left unimplemented.
