Update: The pickup and drop bug is squashed, your dragon's hunting capabilities now include swooping in and grabbing your prey. Use the Q button, as described below. Look at the meal we just caught. Can you catch a villager? A deer? Update: You can now create your own multiplayer games and view available games in a lobby. Use the "CoOp" button, as described below.

Happy Thanksgiving! Welcome dragons, old and new to Dragon: The Game. We've archived the previous default build (for you classic players) and have set the newest version as our default branch.

Controls and Tips

Use WASD or the arrows keys to move your dragon in the direction of the camera. Steer your dragon with the mouse.
Hold SHIFT to strafe and move in reverse.
Hit SPACEBAR to jump, hit it again and hold it to fly. Holding spacebar while flying will cause your dragon to gain altitude. W and S act as a throttle while flying. A and D will cause your dragon to bank. Combine this with your mouse to perform aerial manuevers and tricks.
LMB for a tail attack, RMB to unleash your firebreath.
Use the mouse wheel to zoom the camera in and out.
Eat villagers and fallen prey with E, pick up and drop villagers with Q or the MMB. You must get close enough to grab them in your jaws.These are still buggy.
You can knock over trees if you fly into them with enough speed or smash them with your tail, over and over.
Host and join multiplayer games by hitting the "CoOp" button on the main menu. For now the game will automatically matchmake. Joining specific player's games will in before December 1st.
We're testing the cave and lair system, you may get stuck in the cave and have to restart. You've been warned!
Steam Achievements have been activated but not enabled.

We'll be responding to your bug reports and making corrections as we can. Enjoy!

Development Roadmap

Dragon is currently in early alpha and we've got a long way to go to make Dragon the game it deserves to be. All features and plans listed here are subject to change, we may add or remove features as we learn more about the community's needs during our Early Access.

More monsters, wildlife, and fantasy races to populate the world
Quests, story lines, and lore
More and larger worlds to explore and conquer
Randomly generated worlds
Expanded combat and improved NPC AI
More destructible and intractable environments and objects
Additional breath weapons and magic
Updated graphics and physics
Improved sound and music
Awesome new dragon models. Play as different "species" of dragon
Additional RPG mechanics and customization options
Weather effects and natural disasters (volcanoes, tornadoes, etc.)
Expanded mod support
Additional languages and controller support

At this point we think Dragon will reach retail version 1.0 in nine to 24 months; depending on funding and the amount of content in the final game.
