New update! Read the article!


Hello dear adventurers!

I’ve added two things, and made an update to share them with you:

  • I’ve added Steam Cloud Save, so now if you play on a laptop, for example, you can continue your game on your desktop. If you don’t want your save to be shared, you can disable it as usual for all Steam games from the Game Properties.

  • The world map now shows visual hints at the destinations of your quests and jobs. The main and side quests are displayed with a red halo, and the jobs with an orange halo. This way you can move the view across the map and see where you need to go, even if you don’t remember, and it will help you know how far you are and trace your route.

📢 In case you missed the smaller updates from these past days, I also added a “message of the day”, which is a text with a link to communicate from inside the game a news item or blog post related to the game.

🏆 I also added achievements for defeating 100, 500, and 1000 enemies, and a leaderboard.

❓ And then what? I’m now working on reforming the cities to make them more fun and navigable, and on a system to upgrade character features through EXP points, which will be earned through chapters, defeated enemies, and exploring places.

The story is ready, and I still need to make the illustrations, which is quite laborious since, as you know, I use a mixed technique. It’s a story that will bring life to the main mission, and it is highly challenging, emotional, and epic.

I also already have inspiration for upcoming missions and things to add to the game.

As always, I love hearing your comments and suggestions.

Thank you so much for playing Caverns and Dryads and for your support! You’re fantastic!

-Louis.

OTHER:

I am so happy. Beta readers and players read the story so far and they cried, smiled, laughed, and loved it. They told me to write a novel too, beyond the game.
