The Killing Stone

We’ve been waiting for this! So excited to listen in.

Our Design Director joined @thedivedown.bsky.social this week to dish on all things card battler. Listen in as Ken shares behind-the-scenes secrets about designing The Killing Stone.

Thank you, @emmagregoryvoice.bsky.social! There would be no Mariken without you.

This is my favorite moment in the game: Exploding Eyeballs.

While everyone is hard at work on the first, big, update of The Killing Stone, I'm piecing together footage of exploding eyeballs. Shhhhh. They can't stop me.

Poor, poor demons. Such tender, squishy eyeballs. Which one is your favorite?

The Killing Stone, a deckbuilding card battler by Question Games, is out now. Localization with the help of LocQuest.

Beat the Devil at his own game. The Killing Stone is a deckbuilding card battler wrapped in a 17th century occult horror narrative. Clean the sins of a cursed family by bargaining against a series of demons - and outwitting the Devil himself. LocQuest localized The Killing Stone into 4 languages: German, Spanish (LatAm), French, and Chinese (Simplified).

Two quotes. One from Michael Kelly, COO: “Translating our 17th century occult horror which is very particular about using period references and context would be impossible without professional human translators, who not only took time to research and understand the intention, but also took care to keep the musicality of the prose. The team at LocQuest were up to the task of preserving the little details that matter to great storytelling.” Another from J. Thomas, Lead Writer & VO Director: ““I'm lighting a candle for the hyper-committed, thoughtful translators at LocQuest.”

The names and roles of all the localization managers, translators, and LQA specialists involved in localizing the game.

Good vs Evil 😇😈
Ethical vs Unethical ⚖️💰
Quality vs Slop ✅🤖

Ask ye these three questions whilst battling through Question Games’ self-published @thekillingstone.com

Localization was a feat unto itself: masses of words and four tongues traversing four phases. 🛡️

Play, if you dare ⚙️

BioShock 2 could have had a "Big Sister scare" system that was way ahead of its time, says designer – but he's "finally" using the idea in his new deckbuilder about beating the Devil: "It has added so... Eek!

@gamesradarplus.bsky.social has been watching us. Our Engineering Director, @dphrygian.com was caught in the wild talking about our scare system and the dreams from whence it came.

So cool to see history nerds appreciating every subtle detail in The Killing Stone. @nullspeak.bsky.social really did his homework on the narrative side of things, so it's fascinating to see these people uncover and explain all the deep cuts. www.twitch.tv/videos/27031...

He's not on bluesky, but the poised, ultraprofessional George Ackles directed our VO sessions and helped break down my hot roast nonsense into digestible parts.

Also, his ear for verse led to some edits! We credit Liam and Emma often, but George deserves many flowers.💝

I've said it before, but The Killing Stone is my favorite game I've worked on in over a decade. It's big and it's weird, but if you give it a chance, I think you'll see why I'm so proud of this game and this team.
