Getting straight into it as this is gonna be quite a long Post which is not normal. What have we been up to since July?
We removed the original public map and have replaced it with a brand new one which matches the quality that we have always wanted, this contains brand new high quality assets not just visually but also in terms of optimisation-!

Keeping on with the talk of dragons we decided that while the current dragons are okay , we could do far better so we began to update the dragons and will be replacing them mid to later next year-!

However we have decided to update these models using the amazing Meta humans over on Unreal, we are currently optimising them to fit into the game. Also we made them underwear.

There is a lot in this major update i have missed which you can go have a look at and support if you wish over on the [url=https://discord.gg/wingsofdawn]official discord[/url] where we do our weekly updates every Monday-! I will now be doing updates every Wednesday here on steam so they will not be as long. Along with doing sneak peaks over on [url=https://x.com/WingsofDawnGame]twitter[/url] and [url=https://bsky.app/profile/purplehivestudios.bsky.social]bluesky[/url] on [url=https://www.youtube.com/@TheWingsOfDawnOfficial]YouTube[/url] we also have a channel where we do streams on Sunday and a monthly update video on the 1st of each month.
