Game
Caverns And Dryads
3 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.

New version for Android! And upcoming version for Windows! See screenshots and what's next on my blog: http://www.beautifulfantasy.art/2025/04/upcoming-windows-version…

I changed the art of the splash screen video, and the cover. The heroine in the old one was not matching the style of the rest of the illustration, and light was not coherent.

Another of #mygamefeatures. Spell casting. There are 7 types of spells, and 12 realms of magic. Some magic works against some kind of monsters. They have visual effects,and sound. The wizard can turn a though situation into a success if you are strategic

My game is coming soon to Steam, for Windows! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3634870/Caverns_And_Dryads/ I you like my work, go there and wishlist it! you will be told when I release it!

Another one of #mygamefeatures. Combat! Monsters have powers and special attacks. You have to be strategic and decide when to recover or cast magic, defend to attack the next round, try to escape, and what kind of attack may hurt the monsters.

Did a forum for my game. It's all new now, but hope some will use it. If not, it just helps me to track featured easier.

Feel free to come and ask things, or if you played, there's a lot for you. cavernsanddryads.foroactivo.com

A bit of yesterday's work on making the decorations of the sides of the interface for Windows. I decided to make some illustrations so they fill the space.

Used a concept I made that generates caverns. Then painted on it more by hand on Rebelle.

I've published a post on how I make my graphics. Some will hate it anyway, others will appreciate. ​Here it is: http://www.beautifulfantasy.art/2025/04/the-art-of-intuition-my-… You can recognize one of the images of the intro story that has a special meaning: the entrance to the Chasm.​

And this is a screenshot of how it is looking for the upcoming Windows version. I remade the UI so it fits big screens and added decorations so there's no excessive empty space. They also add to immersion and more artistic look.

More of #mygamefeatures. This time is the exploration map. You decide the path you follow so you avoid or confront monsters, find treasures... I added animations to scenery images and plan to add atmospheric effects and several others.
