- Patch 0.5.5.5 & New Ko-fi Goals - 11 September 2026
Hello Draconians! Updates will be paused for a little while after this update, as we are about to upgrade the game to Unreal Engine 5.8. Once we are done with the transition and ironed out any potential issues, regular updates will return. Any bugs that might have sneaked into the game with this patch will be fixed when we return to uploading updates! We also started launching Ko-fi goals on our Ko-fi page, that help us raise additional funding for the game and come with additional (non-exclusive) cosmetical rewards if the goals are being reached. More information on the goals and how they work can be found on our Ko-fi page in the goal description: https://ko-fi.com/draconiagame/goal?g=0 Concept Art of the "Observer" Goal Added: Tutorial NPCs that cover growth, combat, health, items, inventory, crafting and more.

- A Brief Dev Update - 6 August 2026
Hello Draconians! We are briefly breaking the silence to let you know what we are working on at the moment. 1) As most of you know by now, the European Dragon's release date is August 31, so we are making some final fixes and tweaks to get it ready by the end of the month! 2) Some old locations on the first island have been receiving a quality overhaul to make the terrain easier to navigate for flightless creatures, improve performance, and open up more areas for player dens.3) Quest givers will have quest markers in the near future, making it easier for new players to find quests without having to talk to every NPC in an area.4) Player characters, and partially AI, can now get sick!

- Draconia Dev Blog 06/2026 - 16 June 2026
Hello Draconians! A new dev blog is ready, summarizing the most important changes we've already made and those we plan to make in the future!A lot has been happening on our end across several areas. Let's dive in! Skill tree System & General VFX We have been heavily working on the VFX for the new skill tree system, starting with the abilities players will be able to unlock at earlier levels. The complexity and impact of these skills increase with the character's level, because a high-level dragon should both be and feel stronger!The active skill tree currently consists of approximately 70+ abilities across all species. "Active" means they need to be activated manually, such as Fire Breath and Fireball attacks. However, many of these abilities can be upgraded, which changes both their stats and visuals. As a result, the actual number of required VFX is almost triple that amount.The count…
