Development Update - September- Co-Op Plans and Demo Announcement

Hello to our awesome community members!

It has been a while since our last update! And we have been busy! Since our last community post, we have completed a total overhaul of the islands many biomes, added 2 new explorable compounds, rebuilt our first-person animations system, upgraded our creature AI, and are currently in the midst of overhauling our creature animations. It has been - and continues to be - a busy time indeed.

While there is much to discuss, we are going to cover 2 main topics today. Both of which, we are asked frequently about - will there be a co-op mode, and will there be a demo?

We are excited to announce YES to both!

Co-Op Play - You don't have to outrun a dragon; you just have to outrun your friends

We are currently hard at work on a 4 player drop in co-op experience where your friends can join your adventure and help you survive the island's many challenges. Gather recourses, construct bases, solve puzzles, explore the ocean's depths, and uncover the mysterious temples together! And don't worry about the dragons - there is plenty of fire to go round.

Experience the upcoming Demo

While we are still confirming a date, we are currently working on the finishing touches of our upcoming demo. Experience several of the island's biomes and uncover their secrets as you hunt wildlife, combat monsters, solve puzzles, and play cat and mouse with the local dragon. We want this experience to be a great one, so this demo is absolutely packed with content and will be a great introduction to In The Dragon's Wake. As soon as the date for the demo is a lock, we will be sure to update everyone here!

We also have just uploaded a short trailer with some recent gameplay from our playtests. Please remember, this is all work-in-progress! Anyhow, you can watch that trailer here:

There is lot more to discuss in the near future, so you can expect another update soon!

As always, thank you for coming along on this journey, Front Door Games is a small unit, but we are doing our best to ensure that In The Dragon's Wake is truly unique survival game experience.

Most all, have a great day :)
