Hello Draconians! This patch removes the Halloween event and introduces a small Christmas event, which will remain active until January. The second island has undergone significant changes, with many new locations waiting to be discovered and explored. The coming months will be an especially busy time for us. Most of our old character models are nearly phased out, and with the new models, rigs, and animations mostly ready, we can finally focus on major additions and changes to the game. Our main priorities are combat + movement and the new character creator. We aim to move away from the "face tanking" and LMB spam that have plagued the animal survival genre for years. These should only be last-resort options when a character has exhausted all other means of defense. You might be wondering why we are revisiting the character creator. The answer is simple: the character creator plays an important role in how characters and their progress are saved. It also lays the foundation for future features like nesting and the skill tree, making it a crucial step in Draconia's development. Over the next few months, you can expect to see updates focused on level art and character progress, while we work on mechanics in the background. It will take some time before were ready to showcase the first changes.
