Greetings, adventurers! 

Today’s update brings many new features! Read this post to learn everything.

WEAPONS

More realism for weapons: they can now be damaged through use and by the acidic attacks of monsters (or their acidic blood).

You will see the weapon’s durability next to the armor’s durability.

You can buy weapons in cities (not all cities have the same stock). Some cities offer stronger weapons, others less so. I plan to add even more weapons in future updates!

THE INTRO

I’ve made some adjustments that give you more hints about the protagonists. You can replay the intro from the menu (INTRO button).

For new players, the intro is now mandatory. Some new players didn’t understand the heroes’ purpose because they skipped it.

Since the story is a fundamental part of Caverns and Dryads, this change is necessary. This way, players see the narrative mechanics and the main plot of our adventures from the very beginning.

UPDATE TO FOUND ARMOR/WEAPON SCREENS AND ARMORY

When you find a weapon or armor in a dungeon, you will now see the differences with your current equipment more visually. This helps you compare and decide whether to switch or not. Along with the images, I added +, -, or = signs next to the stats to make comparison easier.

In the armory in cities, you can also compare weapons and armor more clearly, and buy different types of equipment. Cities have different stock, so check them whenever you visit.

MAPS DLC NOW HAS AN EXTRA USE!

Players who bought the Maps DLC can now open the map from the DLC screen and view it while in cities or dungeons, to plan routes and study the world.

If you bought the DLC, simply update the game and you’ll enjoy this new feature.

This is useful to understand the world better, or to evaluate whether to abandon or continue an accepted job. Also helpful to calmly decide where to go next.

REPLAY SIGNIFICANT CHAPTERS

By tapping the Heart icon, you open the screen where you can see details about the heroes’ relationship. Recently, I added a Friends button and a Milestones button. Tapping either showed a visual list with thumbnails and some information.

Now, when you tap on each friend or milestone, you will see a “Remember” button. Pressing it will replay an important chapter you already experienced.

For example, if you completed the quest to save the river, you will see the epilogue again.

This improvement allows players to remember the important moments and relive them.

WHAT’S NEXT?

I will continue working on the illustrations. I’ve been on them for weeks. You know my workflow is hybrid so it takes time. When I finish, I’ll release an update. I’ll call it 2.0, and it will be a major update, since it will include the full playable story of the Emerald City.

Will the heroes save Tamzyn’s mother?

Will they separate, or challenge the world to stay together?

What awaits them afterward?

Wait a little longer, and you’ll be able to experience it!

THANK YOU

I never get tired of enjoy exploring it as much as I enjoy creating it for you.

Thank you, adventurers!

PD: Most of these screens are from the Windows version on Steam. But the Android version here at itchio has the same features, except the maps DLC.
