Hi everyone, I'm new here. I'm posting devlogs for my project, Lands of Folklore.  

Lands of Folklore aims to be both a complete game and an intuitive tool for creating your own games inspired by the Blobber dungeon crawler genre.

I'm not trying to build the perfect RPG. I'm trying to understand why the good RPGs were built the way they were. The engine is the consequence of that curiosity.

This is my first time doing this, so constructive criticism is welcome.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you like it.

Hey, Roma-bi7! 😄

I think I’ve finally figured out your secret mission on Itch.io! You’re going from devlog to devlog asking the exact same thing. One day, you’ll find the ultimate game... and it’ll be packed with elves. 😂

So, rest easy: yes, there will be elves in Lands of Folklore. But they’re still waiting for me to finish building the world they’ll live in.

In fact, I'll tell you about one of them—even though I probably shouldn't; it was an ancient secret, hidden deep within the World-Forger's codex!

This illustration represents Elara's current artistic direction and serves as an early visual concept for the project. Character appearance, clothing, equipment, and other visual elements may evolve throughout development as Lands of Folklore continues to grow."
The goal isn't to present a final design, but to capture the spirit of the character and the world she inhabits."

🏹 Elara Swiftwind

Race: Elf
Archetype: Archer

'The arrow doesn't wait. The wind doesn't forgive. Neither do I.'

Her story is still being written, but one thing is clear: if she ends up in your party, you’d better not stand in her way when she draws her bow.

And since you’re asking about elves... let me make you a promise.

My goal isn't just to make a game, but an adventure editor. So, if someday someone wants to create a campaign with an entire kingdom of elves, they’ll be able to do it.

That being said... let me finish the hammer before I forge the sword. ⚒️😄"
