Raised By A New Elder Dragon! - Flame Stalker Reveal & $300K Dragon Assets Reveal - Day of Dragons

Day of Dragons returns with a new update. They've added new sounds, polished their current dragons more, Added a scent system, Corpses, and we get to see their next big up-coming dragon. The big question remains though; What happened with ALL that money raised years ago? Well, I'm very happy to see (In the second half of this video) that what appears to be most of that money was spent on custom dragons and content for the game. They're just not available yet. On the surface things look relatively the same with very real glimpses of awe inspiring dragon battles in the sky above while the reality of a game that lacks content reminds you outside of those experiences. The potential is there but it's got quite a distance to travel before that potential is realized. The real question is what you think though. So, What do you think?

Hey Anth so glad to see this vid out, I was actually on the test server when you were on looking around, the Devs told us you were recording, I though with the comment I would give some more info to the people watching this vid. Firstly the big worms, the earthy coloured one is called the sand slayer worm and will inhabit the desert dunes map when that's added in a later update, the white one is called the snow slayer worm and that will inhabit the winter winds map also to be added in a later update. Secondly the dragons you see in the test map are not all the dragons coming to the game though they are the ones with game ready models, going from left to right as you ran down the line the dragons are, the Nurse Dragon (yet to get a species name), the Ice Wyvern (Frostfel), the Fire Wyvern (Inferno Ravager), The Flame Stalker, the Shadow Scale, the Blitz Striker, the Singe Crest, the Acid Spitter and the Bioluminescent (Bio) dragon. And I think finally the names of the A.I you were looking at, the big ice like monstrosity is called a Cave Cutter and is going to inhabit the ice caves of the winter winds, the aquatic one is called a Swamp Snapper is is going to inhabit large bodies of water in the Forgotten Forest, the little rock looking thing is called a Dune Weaver and is going to inhabit the Desert Dunes and finally the little round spikey one is called the Bulbous Spined Scrab and as you saw in the vid is already in the game. The magma elemental and the Swamp Snapper are already animated they are just waiting for integration into the game as for the dragons the Inferno Ravanger is being animated at the same time the Flame Stalker the Flame Stalker is just further along though from what I can tell not that much further, there are only 2 animators and they are working on 1 dragon each when they finish one they will most likely move onto the next dragon or maybe an A.I depends on what need animating. Also just a small correction to your vid, the music was made by Ray Fernandes Jr. Simon did the creature sound effects. Anyway enough of my rambling, thank you for covering the game again and thanks to anyone who read this whole comment it was very long.

I'm going to give the game another few years before I buy, just so that they can hopefully update it a bit more for me to be willing to spend my time and money. I love the concept and I really find the dragons and all the mechanics fascinating... I'm still just kind of cautious. Thanks for showing a behind the scenes look. Enjoyed the video and I'll be around for future content whether it be Day of Dragons of some other cool game!

I'm glad that they are still doing their best to meet the promises that all of us are waiting for. I hope that the devs can handle criticism the right way. The purpose of it is not to destroy but to improve the game quality. The amount of potential this game has is great, no one wants to see this fail. No one.

I for one just hope this game finally evolves Into what we were all once promised a few years ago Just wanted to edit and say thank you guys for all the likes on this, and Idk about yall but I'm excited to see where this is heading in the future! This video has helped give me more hope for DOD

The Sky seems a bit empty when nobody is around. Having some ai birds could be a fun food source to catch and it trains your airial fighting skills. That would not have a need for cool monter bird, but there could also be a `food monster´ that is flying high up and is bigger, something like a dragon sized cloud whale.

Considering its history, I appreciate that you're willing to revisit this game and look at it for what it's shaping into. Time will tell, but the devs have made some pretty nice work on their assets, and I'm pretty excited to see where this game will be in a couple more years.

It's good to see they're both dedicated to making this succeed and have plenty of work being done behind the scenes. Loving some of the concepts we're seeing already, definitely looking forward to seeing more in the coming months. Also really liked this review, i wish this kinda level headed honesty was what you did more often, especially concerning games like the Isle which have been out for far longer.

I’m really glad you revisited this game! And more importantly you revisited it with an open mind and you didn’t come back just to destroy it. Now the whole kick starter situation was really bad. But I think most people want to see this game succeed so we can get a good dragon game

Thank you for the honest video

I think dod had a rocky start..(that's a light way to put it) but after seeing this it looks decent, I can't say if it's worth buying it or not since I haven't done that and couldn't if I even wanted too but it seems enticing nonetheless

It's slow progress, bit progress nonetheless. The fact they decided to show you and allow you to post about it speaks volumes to how they've taken in and listened to the criticisms and concerns, looks like it's shaping up to be exactly what we all paid for. Finally.

I like that they have a lot of custom models, this makes me feel better for backing them. However it will be a while before I personally play the game or show much interest, I just wanna play when its fleshed out more.

can't wait for the developers to finish the game, because it promises a bright future for this survival game!

I was always holding out hope for DoD. I don't care which Dragon Survival game is currently doing will but as long as its a Dragon Survival game similar to the isle. Imagine the blood pumping action and battle of multiple dragon clans fighting over territory, fighting off those worm things, and hatching their children in safe places while hunting food for them. When it comes to mythical monsters, Dragons are always my favourite.

I said it once and I’ll say it again, you can’t rush quality.

I'm absolutely in love with this game! The flight physics are the best I've seen in a creature survival game, and the models and ai are a breath of fresh air to look at and see working in game. I have standards that have been raised because of the flight mechanics shown! And the scene where there were so many dragons at once... and there was no lag?? That has to be one of the best moments I've seen in DoD. And the SOUNDS! The booms of the blasts hitting far away ground and the echoes of both that, and the dragons!! I'm such a big fan of the work put in so far, I have high hopes in store for this game.

In all honesty I would like to see some kind of frost dragon being made with a frosty/wintery region that it’s native to where dragons that solely rely on fire would be weaker in. Basically, for example, if the Fire Stalker enters the arctic region it’s defense and such tanks making it weaker whereas the frost dragons would be stronger. Plus, since it is a frost dragon, it would be harder for the Fire Stalker to locate with its thermal vision since it relies on the cold and such making it not appear on thermal vision.

I always had faith in this game, I have been on the test server before and there is so much there. I'm very glad that lots of people are recognizing the good things coming soon to the game. One thing you didn't notice is that at 14:28, you can see a huge acid spitter near the spawning place - it's actually like a character u can interact with if u go up to it. It's like an actual AI, not just an animated model, and it says things to u, and u can respond.

I have been in this game since Alpha and I am so glad I am. I have been amazed at the work this crew is doing and love watching things progress! Looking very forward to much more! Glad you did this vid, Anth!
