Hello Draconians!

It has been less than a week since our latest post but we have made more progress which we wanted to show you!

New Ka'sai animations Swimming animations

Walking backwards - Yes, this means other characters will be able to walk backwards too in the future!

Wyvern rework The wyvern is getting a facelift. This time you will be able to choose between a version with or without lips in the character creator. However only the appearance changes. The animations will be the same and we won't have to redo any of them!

Goliath crab model The goliath crabs are being modelled right now and we are looking forward to replacing the old crabs as soon as they are ready!

New European Dragon illustration A rare preview of our new upcoming cover art.

Lava zone
A new biome made it into the game: The lava zone! Legacy players already had a chance to explore the volcanic area on our old map. However the new lava zone is much larger than it has been before and will play an important role in the life of one particular dragon species. While it has more of a visual functionality right now, it will come with up and down-sides for various species later down the road.

Tutorials
New players have been depending on the help of others and guides for a while now but we finally started to work on the in-game tutorial to cover the basics of the game. We aim to roll out the first part with the next patch and update it as we add new features and mechanics.

This is it for now. We hope to release the next patch in roughly a week and we might have more news for you by then!
