Below is our largest Dev Update yet! Enjoy!

Overview

Hey everyone! Onyx here! Today we're releasing new details on the Dragoos Breedables, answering frequently asked questions, noting some changes to mechanics, discussing new topics that haven't yet been discussed and also showing a few new sneak peeks! As always, we're working as hard as possible towards finally getting this all out to you! I truly hope you'll like what you see and read!

Sneak Peeks

Frozen Stats

It's been discussed in the past that when you pick up a Dragoo, it will still get Hungry and Sick in your inventory. It's also been stated that if you transfer a Dragoo to a new owner, the stats will freeze until the new owner rezzes it the first time. We've changed this functionality so that the Dragoos Stats will freeze in all situations. If you pick up a Dragoo, transfer a Dragoo, etc... the Stats will freeze until it's next rez. This means it will not get Hungry, it will not get Sick, it will not Age and it's Love % will freeze in your inventory!

Points

You can trade your Dragoos for points! I've mentioned this before, but we've never gone into any detail about how this works. The Points Values of your Dragoos will be determined as follows...

- The Base Point Value for a Dragoo (Egg or Live) is 50 Points
- For each Offspring your Dragoo has had, your Dragoo will gain 10 Points
- Dragoos can have up to 10 Offspring. So the Max Point Value would be 150 Points for a Dragoo
- There are penalties for trading a Sick Dragoo
- There is a Base Penalty for trading a Sick Dragoo is -25 Points
- There is an Offspring Penalty of -5 Points per Offspring
- This means that the Max Points for a Sick Dragoo with 10 Offspring is 75 Points (vs 150 Points for a Non-Sick Dragoo)

You will have the option to Trade Dragoos for Points individually or use the Mass Trader. The Mass Trader will automatically trade a set of Dragoos that are within it's perimeter. This item will accept both Eggs and Lives. It will be a bit larger than most items so that it can accomodate a decent amount of Live Dragoos in it's footprint.

Point Store and Exclusive Items

You will be able to use your Points to purchase Starter Packs, LEs, Food, etc. The Point cost of these items will be determined before Launch. There will also be LEs available that you can only get via Points and will not be purchaseable any other way. Some of them will require a LOT of Points... so save up!

Selling For Points

You will now be able to Sell your breedable Dragoos for Points! But not just your breedable Dragoos. The goal is to allow you to set any and all Dragoos related items For Sale for Points instead of L$. We've discussed this as a Team and feel like this an option the Community deserves to have. So when you're setting a Dragoo for Sale... you'll be given the option to set it for L$ or for Points. The choice is yours!

Craftable Tools

I've spoken before about the ability to Craft items within the realm of Dragoos. Some of the items you'll be able to Craft are Tools that will assist in making your life and breeding a little easier. One of the best things about some of these Tools is that they're transferable! We can't say, at this time, that all of the Tools you Craft will be Transferable. But some of them definitely will be! Below is a Sneak Peek at some of the Tools that you'll be able to Craft and Sell.

The Ancient Summoner / Ancient Auto Summoner
The normal Ancient Summoner is a simple device that will, on touch, call all of your Dragoos Eggs within it's range to it's location. The Auto Summoner will do the same thing but will be triggered by a Timer that you set to periodically attract your Dragoos Eggs. The ingredients to craft these devices will be harder to find. But once, crafted, you can list / sell them to the Community. Below is a video of what the Summoner looks like.

The Sands of Time
This item is a single-use item that you can use on a Dragoo that will instantly set a Dragoo to Age 5 (Adult Age) so that it can begin gaining Love and breeding immediately. The incredients for this item will be SUPER hard to find. But it will be transferable and will not be purchaseable from the Store. So expect this item to have a higher price tag. Below is a screenshot of what this item looks like.

Sorting Magnets
Another Craftable Item will be the Sorting Magnets (not the official Title). We don't have a screenshot of this item yet. But this item will allow you to attract both Eggs and Lives based on a certain Trait you've set it to.

Other Crafted Items

While I've spoken about Crafted Items that are to be used in Breeding... there's also the option to Craft wearable Items and other types of items. Wearable items could be purely cosmetic. Or they could serve a purpose and give the User boosts in Breeding. Such as a Ring that adds a certain percentage of Luck to your breeding outcomes. But... we want to hear your thoughts on this! So let your voice be heard! Is this something you'd like to see? Would you prefer Cosmetic items? Or items that give boosts? Or both!? Let us know!

Final Thoughts

That's all for now. I'll be releasing more details on other topics as soon as I'm able. I'll keep everyone posted on the progress as things move along with Development. I thank you all for your patience and support! I'm super excited for the times ahead! Thanks for reading and I'll be in touch with more updates soon!
