GravelTrain has released the permanent title of their upcoming Strategy Role Playing Game to be 'Stone Age Square Battle'.

As the title suggests, the entire game is set in the Prehistoric era. While the game's story was still in the concept stages, it was decided that the setting would be thought of as the 'first or second adventure of mankind' (which explains the '2' in the former working title), and that self-mockingly, various elements that are commonplace in the RPG genre would see their first incarnation within this game. While there remains an element of that in the current version of the script, it has been modified to be less obvious. For those who are aware of the original intention, it will be noticeable as they play through the game.

Just to bring some relief to those who are imagining an adventure where the entire premise is to live out the known milestones of early Mankind, keep in mind that the term 'Alternate Prehistory' would be more accurate. Consider the heavy influence of early JRPGs when thinking of the game. In other words, there will be wildly powered skill attacks as well as hand to hand combat with Dinosaurs and various other Megafauna. Also the game is full of creative variations on the standard RPG types such as Knight, Ninja, Samurai, Attack Mage etc.
