Dragon Discussion Result on Discord + New Feature Will Coming + Trello ROADMAP!
Ahoy Crew!
There has been a lively discussion in our Community Discord Server the past few weeks whether to keep the living dragon or replace it with a mechanical Beast. Now we have come to a conclusion: There will be both.
Mecha Dragon Picture (Work in Progress)
Your organic, living dragon will stay your companion and friend. He will grow with his tasks and experiences, but demand your attention and care.
The machanical dragon Beast will be a weapon, which we will intertwine with DARCOs story (start quest is coming soon!). It will be used more or less as a vehicle and weapon without a consiousness. In the course of the game you'll be able to upgrade and enhance it.
Therefore the very first stage will be without any wings - so stay tuned! Below you can see the preview of the second stage.
There is another surprise coming: just one hint "create your own dragon"! :D We don't want to spoiler more than that yet.
On another note: We finished the Official Trello Board where you can watch our progress and have a look at our roadmap. We will keep it up to date by refreshing every two weeks.
ROADMAP

Thank you all very much for your participation, you're the best community we could wish for!
First DEV Lets Play is now ONLINE XD
Ahoy crew!
Today we show you our first "Let's play" . The making of the video was a little bit crazy. Now we will make frequent videos. In future also a little more essentially. Today it is about the prelude. We hope you have fun. :D
In the next video we will show you the construction system.
The patch will be releasesed at Thursday, then you also are able again on all servers. Sorry for the long waiting period. The problem was more difficult as we think.
