Nest crafting is a mechanic planned for a future update, such as gathering sticks and rocks for nest building.

Although annoying, I appreciate that it is difficult to fly and takes time to master, it adds a more realistic feel to the game, instead of just pressing a button and flying around without a care, there's a reason to pay attention or you'll fall and die, or land too hard, or smash into a tree.

Dragon: The Game, before the devs tried to change it and it turned into shit, gave the vibes that this game gives. For those who don't know there's a dead and real shitty dragon game out there. I got it when it truly had some kind of potential; it was still very early progress but the flying, the dragon models, it was all so much fun. I'd spend hours flying through (barren) mountains and the only thing there was to do was kill sheep, wolves and destroy castles with little npcs but I had fun with it anyways because the mechanics were so good. One day when I came back home from school I saw there was an update and it broke it all. The dragon models were horrid, half of the buttons didn't work, flying was turned into garbage and the terrain was reduced to flat terrain with trees. The castles were still there but they weren't fun anymore. There were quests now but they wouldn't save and the game crashed a lot. I still don't know why whoever made this game tried to update it and why they did so terribly, but ever since I've ben longing for a game that would give me the same fun for hours. I'm so happy this game was done how it should have been.

[@RogueT-Rex8468]

That sounds fun- and honestly how I hope this game will turn out eventually. Even if they aren’t humans and are fantasy npc villages, I look forward to being the dragon I’ve always wished to be.

Im still sceptical, I'd be extremely surprised if all of those models weren't taken from the store in some form. They were using Unka (spelling?) The dragon for long enough. The animations here are suspiciously good - on par with Unka. Try not to get suckered in by the beauty of games like these, Unreal engine makes it stupidly easy to throw something like this together and have it look good with minimal effort. I wouldn't touch this game with a 10ft pole.

Pretty much since you can't fly as a dragon in Istaria unless you pay for a membership and then grind levels like crazy to get there, no thank you...especially when being a dragon was the only reason I tried that game, such a let down. Many MMO's that have flight as an option at least allow you to around level 14 or 20.

Wow the mechanics are spectacular! Can’t wait to play.

[@johnlime1469]

I mean, it's a massive improvement from the "scam build". Mesh collision needs work, but so does a lot of other indie games. Models aren't AAA quality, but if they allow more customization, it would probably work. Imagine having different kinds of animals that the dragons can eat spawning in random places. But the best parts are the flying mechanics and the calls that you can do as a baby that gives character to the dragon, more so than something realistic like Path of Titans. That flying footage though.....pretty cool. I hope Path of Titans can add cool flying mechanics as well, if they were to add pterosaurs. I didn't expect this outcome tbh. Looks like something that's worth $10. This game now has potential.

Gameplay is still light on the ground with only two dragons (both with very diffrent gameplay styles and very fun. You wouldn't have to buy the DLC, you can be nested in) and the map is still very much a work in progress. If you want to wait till the game is a lot more polished and there is more to keep you intrested then I would say wait till the end of the year/start of next when the Genesis update is expected. This will add a second AI creature, two more dragons that were shown on the menu screen, the Magma Elemental (a playable boss creature) and a second map - the Lava lands. It's still loads of fun to play in its current state, and the developers are being amazing at listning to the community, but not everyone wants to play something that is still being put together.
