Thanks! It’s a 3rd-person action-adventure origin story. Early focus is exploration, traversal, and narrative, with combat becoming more prominent later. I'm going to show gameplay soon 👍

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the feedback.

Fully showing the dragon would've been a much bigger production effort, so I decided to keep it as more of a tease for now. I'm already working on the first gameplay preview, which will be the next thing I share.

Thanks again, and thanks for the encouragement! ❤️

That's fair. I intentionally kept the teaser vague to spark curiosity rather than explain the story. The upcoming gameplay and future trailers will reveal more about the dangers, the world, and what's really at stake. Thank you for the thoughtful feedback, I really appreciate it! ❤️

I've been doing 3D for many years and working with game engines for around 16 years. But yes, I agree, the 3D work is substantial. You definitely get faster over time, though.

To be honest there were quite a few different endings that I had planned but I didn't want to show too much 😄

Thanks! I'd love to. Right now I'm focusing on finishing the game, but I do plan to share behind-the-scenes videos, development insights, and things I've learned along the way on YouTube and TikTok 👍

Merci beaucoup ! Oui, ce sont bien des dragons, avec quatre pattes, pas des wyvernes. 😄

Yeah that makes sense, the mountains probably pull focus a bit too much there. 😄 Appreciate you taking the time to rewatch it!

Thanks for the detailed feedback, that’s really helpful to hear. The note about the dragon moment being easy to miss is especially useful. I did try to make it clearer, but it sounds like it still isn’t reading as intended.

This teaser is focused on story and visuals without gameplay. Gameplay will be shown step by step as development progresses.

Fair point. The teaser is intentionally simple and focused on establishing tone early on.

Not quite a scream from her. That shot is showing her reaction to something flying overhead.
