[KuroWolf]

This game is soooooo epic! I'm making a video with me flying on my dragon and im trying to do the Test Drive scene as well!

[shinyscale]

the game runs smoother now thanks

but when will it get updated and will we be able to control dragons in the future like ordering them to stay in that place, catch fish,follow...

Currently we don't know when the next content update will be, but I'd bet my money that it will be around september, coinciding with the second series of the TV show. As for ordering dragons around, I'd suggest making a forum post of suggestions. "Admin" normally like that sorta thing.

I'm also sure it could take a while ^^ But that's okay! I'm sure the most important thing was to fix issues and problems

....Can you add more quests?

Ummmm... thanks for the update but.. now that I can fly, there are no more quests! I just saw a few, then I could fly and they just disappeared! What happened?

I'm not entirely sure I'm understanding your situation... So you reached level 10 for your dragon and there were a bunch of quests around that you saw, but when you upgraded your dragon, you couldn't find them anymore? Or is it you completed all the quests and you upgraded your dragon, and there's just no more to be done at this time?

Yes! Well, the first one.

Hi sleene! Doing Races gives you always some XP! If you play singleplayer and have a nice score, you'll get 25 XP! Doing some stages in Flight Club also gives you some Xp, I guess. Have fun! And watch out for your dragons energy!

AMAZING WORK! Everything is so much smoother~. You are guys are great~.

I do have one concern with navigation in the game, though. My characters movements will "stick". Example, I will be walking and then I'll go to turn but my character doesn't turn and keeps going forward. I've even gotten stuck running in circles when not even touching the controls. I found that it'll stop once I click on the screen but it happens several times through out playing time and can make navigating a bit frustrating. Loads of times my character has fallen into water or off a cliff because of this problem~.

 
I can also confirm the controls getting stuck and not responding. Numerous time's I've been walking around and then all of  a sudden my character decides to start running in a circle and then off a bridge. This also happens whilst flying.
I KNOW RIGHT? BUT I DON'T JUST DO VIRTUAL DONUTS! i run into buildings, i run of the walkable part of the map my deadly nadder friend walks backwards and disapears... just to name a few.

[p3t3rsam]

That's pretty wierd. Hopefully the developers can fix n'ship it.

I'm pretty sure it's a awesome game, but when is it coming out on the pod, iPad, iPhone and stuff like that?

>Hopefully soon! Id' assume that they'd release the mobile version once most of the bugs are fixed and the lag is reduced.

Thanks for the update! Game is running very smooth, but can we get some more quests? Between us _{i'm a little tired of only having fishing missions now that I have a full grown dragon....}Are we getting more quests soon?    

[p3t3rsam]

They are making more content/quest updates as we speak. I think that the latest we can expect new content would be late september, as that is when the second season of the TV show comes out.
