Game
Caverns And Dryads
2 years ago

As you know, I do all the programming and graphics of Caverns and Dryads. But Emily is the author of the music of my game. I have written an article about her, please read the article below! It is really worth to meet this awesome creator!


Emily is an awesome artist, programmer, and musician. Her site is Roll For Fantasy( https://rollforfantasy.com/ ).

Her site is a very special one. It has lots of articles about role-playing and writing, lots of generators like a paper castle model generator, name generator for fantasy games, monsters, timeline generators, game cards, DIY projects, and so many things that they are impossible to name here.

When social sites like Facebook and others appeared, most of the sites like hers disappeared from internet. It happened because people stopped having their own sites or blogs, and just spend most of the time on social sites posting, and most of what they post doesn't appear on the search engines. This is something scary, actually. We have lost lots of sites that were unique and special.

But Roll for Fantasy is a site that has survived that bad time in the history of Internet, and to me it represents a treasure chest in the middle of the WWW. You can spend months just reading at the content and using it, maybe years.

And as I said, Emily is a music composer too. She publishes her music at SoundCloud and YouTube:

Her music is free to be included in your game or creative project in the conditions on her page: https://rollforfantasy.com/music/free-to-use.php

Just link to her fabulous website, and credit her. Don't resell or redistribute it. If you include it in a video or game, you have to do it in a way that it can't be extracted. For example, in my game it is an embedded resource. If you don't know how to make it, I can tell you how, just ask, at least in Visual Studio.

She has lots and lots of musics in many albums, and you can of course also listen to them as you work or enjoy reading a book or playing RPGs. They are all of great quality.

I really like Emily's page and her creative skills, and I hope she will continue keeping all her creations on internet. As I said, it is one of the few treasures we still keep on the Internet.

Go to RollForFantasy (https://rollforfantasy.com) and have a look. You will be amazed on how a single person can create such a variety and quality of resources and good articles.

I added jagged edge to the images to break the "square" feeling. I also added the logic for more features and the base screens for them, that are not yet finished. What do you think?

I'm adding language support for English, French and Spanish to my game, and adding the monsters and places. Also, showing you some illustrations. Have a look to my blog: http://www.beautifulfantasy.art/2024/09/invoking-monsters-of-my-…

I've been working on my game again, and added the world map. You can read more about it here on my blog: http://www.beautifulfantasy.art/2024/09/adding-world-map-to-my-g…

I'm making the spellcasting ui. These are just rough drafts or placeholders. It will change a lot, and as you see there are repeated bad icons. But I thought you may find it interesting. In some days you'll see the final one. The third screen is some code

I remade the icons and buttons of the place navigation and combat. This is already playable, but I have to add some more features before releasing an alpha build. But soon! Stay tuned! (at last after several months of work)

Now I'm going to implement the part of the wizard a bit. His name is Sioul. He's here to assist Tamzyn in her adventure. This is the screenshot of the stats scene. Sioul doesn't fight with weapons like Tamzyn, but with spells. They make a nice team.

I just made a forum for the game! Join and discuss and ask about the core ideas for now, and will grow as I develop the game! :) https://cavernsanddryads.foroactivo.com/

A sneak peek to the magic casting and the wizard. Still a lot to work to do on the images of him and other features. But follow my game to be notified when I release a playable version soon! :)

I've added some screenshots to my game page so you can have a sneak peek. Go to my game page, these are just a few. They may change a little. Stay tuned for the alpha release!

I've been implementing the magic system, the visual effect of fireball, and the basics of the male wizard that shares adventures with Tamzyn, Siuol. Next is to add the visuals and logic and sounds for all the spells.
