We are one month into the new year, dragons. The team is excited to be making large, developmental strides. Our Kickstarter campaign just passed $31,000 raised! Thanks for all of your support. Please help us exceed our goals and unlock additional stretch goals by spreading the word! A successful Kickstarter will help us greatly accelerate development! The campaign ends on Sunday 2/14 at noon PST.
*Update: 2/12* Development Plans v8.4 to v8.5*
**Update: Hit ‘C’ To open your dragon’s upgrade menu. We’ve unlocked movement speed and size improvements. Next will be HP. Any request on what upgrade we should work on next?
This month our focus is on RPG mechanics, replay-ability, and customization. To do so we’re adding a new dragon type for you to choose from. This dragon will be demoing our modular anatomy features with customizable heads and body parts.
Additionally we are turning on the eating, growing system in preparation for deeper RPG mechanics later this year.
Now, as you catch prey and complete quests your dragon will accumulate growth points which can be spent on improving your dragons:
+Breath Attack (Range, Damage, Size)
+Tail Attack (Reach, Damage, Knockback)
+Roar (Range, Damage, Fear)
+Movement (Speed*, Handling)
+Physical Size(Large*, Smaller)
+Health and Amor
+Reputation (Villagers, Wildlife)
*Currently functioning
