One obvious cosmetic are cute pets that follow you around. You can design your own, but let's start with the Frog which comes packaged by default with the game.



1. The key addition in 2.8 is the 'import' command. To add the Pet Frog go to your Mind Stone and type
"import Cosmetics/PetFrog"



2. Visit any location to see the frog hopping and following your moves. Make sure your Mind Stone is powered on!



3. You can customize the frog's color by locating the PetFrog.txt script that is included in your save file directory. On Windows it would be at:

C:/Users/(userName)/AppData/LocalLow/Martian Rex, Inc_/Stone Story/(steam id)/Stonescript/Cosmetics/PetFrog.txt


Froggo is also happy to get Loot.

Another hot cosmetic are hats. Let's create a new hat, it's very easy. For this to work you will need to beat the game's main story and have the big head turned on.

1. Open your Mind Stone and add the following script. This is a command that draws relative to the player's head:

2. Visit any location to see the hat!
tip: During a run you can press 'M' to edit the Mind Stone. No need to exit to the Workstation.



3. Customize the color (change #yellow to something else) and edit the ASCII-art to come up with your own hat designs.
tip: You can call the draw command multiple times to compose a multi-colored hat.

Next, let's move your hat script into an external file, which is great practice. External files makes it easy to share and easy to turn scripts on/off.

4. Inside the Cosmetics folder, next to the PetFrog.txt, create a new text file and name it MyHat.txt



5. Open MyHat.txt and copy the hat code from the Mind Stone to the external file. Save it.

6. In your Mind Stone replace the hat code with

7. Visit a location to make sure it works!

You may notice next to the Cosmetics folder another folder called Games. Stone Story 2.8 comes with 3 mini-games that are still in development. All are playable, but the most complete game right now is Blackjack. Let's play it!



1. In your Mind Stone type

2. Visit the Waterfall location to play!

Other games include Deadwood Fishing and Asteroids. Both functional, but still in early development as of 2.8. All scripts are open source, which is a great way to learn some advanced scripting ideas.

Note: All 3 of these are configured to be played at the Waterfall and will draw on top of each other. An option is to comment out the ones you are not playing. The double bar // in front of a line disables it:

tip: When a mini-game fills the whole screen, the pause menu is no longer visible. To exit the Waterfall location you can type the shortcuts P (pause) then L (leave).
