Hi everyone,

I have always wanted to make a game centered on elves as they are my favourite and I feel they don't get any love at all anywhere. When I talked about my project most people told me to go for it as I would be the first person to ever make an indie elf centered game. I looked for a few days because I couldn't believe it and to my disappointment they were right...

Still i'd like to know if I looked wrong or if it's true that nobody ever made a single indie game on elves. thanks

You can play as both elves and fae in my game.

I did a quick search on itch recently and didn't see much either. Good luck on your project, nice to see you doing sth about it, instead of just complaining. Developing for a uncatered niche helps to stand out amongst the constant flood of new games.

EDIT:

Btw, you can play as an elf in Dwarf Fortressadventure mode. Also if you use the mod "All races playable" you can play as elves in fortress mode:

• No Mining or Tree Cutting: Elves traditionally refuse to cut down trees or mine underground. In vanilla-accurate elven play, you rely on gathering plants, growing wood from seeds or special workshops, and trading.
• Grown Equipment: Elves do not forge traditional metal or cut wood items; instead, they use "grown" wooden equipment (like living wood armor, helms, and shields) that plants shed or grow for them.
• Exotic Pets: Elves have deep connections to nature and can bring or tame rare, exotic animals like unicorns and grizzly bears.
• No Alcohol Dependency: Unlike dwarves, elves generally do not require alcohol to survive and work happily.

I like elves too, but I’m still not quite inspired enough to create a story with them... I have some ideas, but I haven't fully developed them yet. If I ever make it happen, I'll let you know so you can try it and give me your honest opinion.
