Warplane Quest Playtest · build 23218401 · published
This update marks a major step forward for the project. The previous public build was still based on Warplane Quest, while this version is a fully reworked foundation for Dawn of Eagles, rebuilt with a new structure, new systems and a much stronger base for the game I want to create. This is still an early version, but it is an important milestone: the game now has the core foundations needed for a deeper, better, and more atmospheric WW1 flying game.
A special thank you to the community member Jure Račnik who suggested the name Dawn of Eagles. The name fits the new vision for the game perfectly.
