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. Supported using public funding by Slovak Arts Council (www.fpu.sk)

Dev Diary 54

Hello :)

Here at Treestronaut, we try to engage the players into the story of our games as much as possible. We change the character sprite and level environment based on the progression of the story. One of the examples in Elfscape: Ancestors is a storyline where the Guardian needs to deliver weapons to the unarmed Unworthies in the city.

When the Guardian arrives in the armory, you can see the weapons in their racks. When she leaves the armory, the weapon racks are empty and she is leaving with a full backpack.
