About This Content

This DLC adds some extra features to the game's interface:

• New button in the world map screen: Show exits map (signpost icon) - showing the exits from each location and the areas blocked by keys or barriers. Use them to better plan your journeys.

• New button in the world map screen: Plot a route in the map (path icon) - draws a path with yellow blinking line to the clicked place in the map, so you know how to reach them instantly and can plan your actions and risks.

This is not required to play Caverns and Dryads, but it’s a way to get these useful features and also support me as the solo developer of this universe!

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

I trained my own styles for AI, and created my own concepts for places, heroine, hero, monsters, and icons of my game. All my styles are based on my own work and on public domain classical painting art, so I consider it to be ethical.

The workflow I use is this: I paint an image (in Rebelle 7 Pro, natural painting software), then run through my own styles and concepts, so it becomes more polished. Then the result is usually very imperfect, then I paint again on it, modify, re-render, repeat this process several times, usually ending in me painting on it as a final step.

Then I postwork the image with an image editor usually Zoner Photo Studio or Affinity Photo. What you see is the result of all this process, not a raw generative art image, and that is why you feel some vibe, but you can see it's not at all the style you use to see on generative images, because there is a huge part of human involvement both in manual and generative steps.

This is how I feel I should do art, and I think it's honest, as it doesn't break the rights of anyone, and implies a big effort and care from my part as an artist.
