Hello everyone! The first update of the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/1088090/announcements/detail/4030227267345163692?snr=2___]1.0 Soft Release[/url] is almost here! The 1.0.0 update will be our biggest update ever with loads of new content for players to enjoy. To celebrate, we will be counting down the days by going over a new feature, big or small, each day before the release on February 17th. Check back here daily to see the next countdown post! [h2]1 Day to Release![/h2] [h3]Dominant and Recessive Genes[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35898811/4ad0074867d8bc219da1ff9f2e92df9b101df40e.png[/img] Our final countdown feature will be the new genetics system. Players will now have two sets of genes for stats and skins, a dominant and a recessive. The dominant will be your dragon's phenotypic trait (your dragon's true stats and visible skin) and the recessive will be a hidden set that you can pass down to your offspring. If you unlock the "Dominant" skill on your Mutations Tree, you will be able to view your recessive genes. It's been a long road, but the start of the 1.0 soft release is just around the corner. We can't tell you how much we appreciate all of your support during this journey. The 1.0 Updates will be just the start of what is to come and we can't wait to see you all in 1.0.0. [h2]2 Days to Release![/h2] [h3]Interactive Water[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35898811/74226c9451fe972ff2b722a56cf3ed0048d314c6.png[/img] We are getting really close to the 1.0.0 update! Our second to last countdown feature will be our new interactive water. The water surface will be able to interact with players as they swim. As this is a new feature we are try, it is still in the works but the first version will be available to play with on the 17th! [h2]3 Days to Release![/h2] [h3]Inventory and Pearls[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35898811/8c44205ab6512721077549e1637a385afb9dd521.png[/img] Yesterday we showed off the new Character Panel UI. Today's feature is another part of the new UI, the inventory system. The 1.0.0 update will feature the first part of our new inventory system coming to the game. Players with exclusive or unlockable skins will have pearls in their inventory that can add a cosmetic overlay to the dragons. These overlays will not able to be passed on through breeding. In future updates, we will add the rest of the pearl system which allows AI and dragons to drop pearls upon death that can boost your dragon's stats.

The new UI will now have tabs players can click on to display the different information. These different tabs will include the information found in Legacy as well as some new information. Players will now be able to see their lineage on the genetics panel all the way back to their grandparents as well as the new environment panel. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35898811/2b32df2d35b5d4e218a9f5ae17b4bf93c54d6b39.png[/img][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35898811/667aa52885352ae9a54d51e80aa75c00031778dd.png[/img] [h2]5 Days to Release![/h2] [h3]The Biolumin[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35898811/958bc2d4b76841cf580eee735c0ab01ec03af709.png[/img] The second dragon included in the 1.0.0 update will be the Biolumin Dragon. This Class 2 dragon is the first of our Kickstarter dragons to join the game. It is a cosmetic dragon, meaning its attack does no damage. To make up for its lack of attack, the Bio will be the fastest flier in the game and is also poisonous to eat. The Bio will be a nectarivore, meaning it eats flower nectar as its main food source. The Biolumin's special ability (Q) is called Glow. It can turn on and off its natural bioluminescence at will and also can make other dragon's glow using its breath "attack". It is also our first dragon to be able to truly hover and can control its hover to move in all directions. Backers who pledged for the Bioluminescent Dragon reward in our 2019 Kickstarter and other owners of the Bio DLC key will be able to spawn as this dragon at any time. Other players will be able to access this dragon if nested in by another player.

If a player completely runs out of stam, their stamina bar will become capped at a lower amount. With each time the stamina bar is completely emptied, the cap will grow larger. Players will need to sleep to remove the cap on their stam.

Except the height map, the Forgotten Forest has been completely redone. Players will be able to explore landmarks inspired by the legacy map as well as discover completely new locations. This new map will have more spawn locations for hatchlings and include features such as waterfalls and caves. With each update, we will work to polish and add more features to the map. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35898811/ca0d1f3ea7d88a5a3240f49e16aca6246a5e337b.png[/img][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35898811/106d7dd139840bcf680a6acd44eb881fe4fd310f.png[/img] [h2]8 Days to Release![/h2] [h3]Second Wind[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35898811/5c34bc146373d75f73b7ea72995f84cfefbb5dfb.png[/img] Yesterday, we announced the addition of clouds that players could fly through. Some of you may have been wondering if you'd have enough stam to make it to them and stay in them long enough to enjoy them. Well, that's where today's feature comes into play! Second Wind will be a new feature coming in the 1.0.0 update. When a player is laying down, a second stamina bar (the Second Wind bar) will start to fill under the main one. Once in flight, the Second Wind bar will begin to fill the main stamina bar when it gets low, giving players an extra boost of energy.

Players will be able to fly through the clouds and even over them. The formation of the clouds will be determined by the current weather (coming in 1.0.1) and players can escape severe weather events by flying above them. PvP players will be able to utilize this feature to escape into the clouds if being chased to lose their pursuers.

The Inferno Ravager will be one of two dragons joining the world in the 1.0.0 update! The Inferno will be our game's first wyvern species (two wings & two legs) and has fire as its bile element. It will join the Shadow Scale and Flame Stalker as our third starter dragon, which means it will be automatically unlocked for all players. The Inferno's special ability (Q) will be the Flame Cloak which allows players to light themselves on fire, burning anything that gets too close.
