Platformer Elfscape: Ancestors is telling the story of a temple Guardian. She is asleep, waiting for the prophecy to come true - when the Chosen One shall descend underground, he'll fight a victorious battle against a Demon. One day, the Guardian is awakened, and she quickly realises the Chosen one is nowhere in sight. She needs to find him, and quickly - her life energy depends on it. Elfscape: Ancestors brings 24 levels, distributed into 6 environments, through which you'll be accompanied by an epic story told through visual-novel-like elements.

Hello there!

We’re still on the topic of our map development. Today we’ll show you the final design of the map skill-tree that was introduced in this article.

The first picture shows the beginning of the skill-tree (on the left), with no statue heads and no coins collected.

This picture shows that the player has already collected some statue heads (the yellow tiles on the path), and has already gotten multiple upgrades (yellow and blue tiles). The six variously colored squares outside of the path are indicators for collected coins. There is one for every environment, and it fills as you collect the coins.

The last picture shows the end of the map skill-tree (on the right). The red square in the structure indicates that the coins in the red environment have all been collected - which we can also see in the coin collector square on the left. The player will gain a special bonus upon the collection of all the statue heads and all the coins in the game.
