We are MountainWheelGames, a small team of aspiring game developers collaborating via the internet with the sole purpose of creating Stone Rage. Oceans separate us, few of us have ever met one another or even know what each other look like, but we know who we are through our collective work. We're artists, we're animators, we're character designers, we're writers, we're composers, we're programmers and we're planners. We want nothing more than to kick-start our efforts and make a place for ourselves in the gaming industry, and remaining completely independent is something that we've chosen.

Stone Rage is an online third person multiplayer survival PC game set within the Pleistocene era. Players will find friends and create enemies as they struggle for survival through a prehistoric landscape filled with dangerous animals, scarce resources, and a harsh climate. Scavenge for materials to craft strong or cunning weapons, perfect for securing your next meal or to raid your enemies with. Travel north into the mountains to collect rare obsidian and create a spear powerful enough to take down a mighty mammoth. However, be sure to create warm enough clothes and homes to survive the cold winters, else you'll be forced to migrate back south before you freeze. Choose to play as a human, neanderthal, or even one of the many animal classes as you explore the world of Stone Rage to forge your own path to survival.
