We're finally done with version 2 of Kingdom of the Dragon! Thanks so much for all of your feedback, we hope you enjoy it!
Version 2.0 Changelog:
Improved combat with a faster attack animation. The sword swing now feels more "instant", which improves the feel of combat
A brand new island to explore just offshore from the first island. Completing this island will give you access to...
A world map, with the general locations of each major upgrade in the game
New "Lore Books", which will give more backstory into the world and what has happened. Find them all!
The backstep move has been taken out. Not many people used it, and it was causing an exploit in the game. Now, the player simply rolls forward when either trigger button is pressed on a gamepad.
Tweaked some of the puzzles so the objective is a little more clear
Improved the quality of some of the textures
Moved the locations of some of the campfires
Overall bug fixes and performance optimization. Delta-time will no longer be calculated below a certain framerate. This was causing some of the physics to go crazy at lower framerates
If you're a returning player, we recommend starting a new game (though it is not necessary). If you're new to Kingdom of the Dragon, then dive right in!

THANK YOU!
It's been two weeks since the release of Kingdom of the Dragon, and we want to take a minute to thank everybody who has played the game. The launch has exceeded our expectations, and we are SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has taken time out of their life to play our game.
Seriously, I can't even begin to to tell you how much it means to us. This game started as an idea we had as teenagers in the 1990's, and to see people playing it now...twenty something years later... is just unreal. Back then, we never could have imagined it. It's just the coolest feeling in the world for us.
We're throwing around some ideas we have to continue supporting the game, but we're not quite ready to announce anything just yet. We hope you'll keep checking back occasionally for news. For now, we just want to say thank you so much for your support. It really means the world to us.
