Bdragon ("be dragon")

Become a dragon! Complete the quests of the Dragon Altar, choose your race, grow stage after stage by challenging wild dragons in their nests, then awaken as the legendary Alpha of your race.

⚠️ Alpha test version: bugs may happen. Back up your worlds before using it.

Features

• 11 dragon races, each with its own body, texture, breath and powers: Fire, Ice, Water, Forest, Nether, End, Terra, Sunlight, Storm, Moonlight, Wither.
• 2 forms: hybrid (a human with wings, horns and a tail, whose claws can dig) and full dragon. Press H to switch.
• 5 growth stages: challenge wild dragons to grow stronger and bigger.
• Dragon nests in the biomes of each race, and abandoned villages with a Dragon Altar at their centre.
• The Alpha: forge the Orb of Power (4 alpha scales + 1 Nether Star) and live the awakening cinematic. Some Alphas get a whole new body and a unique power:
  • Sylvan Tortoise (Forest), a giant tortoise with a meadow on its shell and its Beam of Life;
  • Tempest Dragon (Storm), a long storm serpent and its Storm;
  • Nether Demon (Nether), a winged demon and its Territory;
  • Sun Steed (Sunlight), a golden winged horse and its Sun;
  • Moon Dragon (Moonlight), a dragon of the night sky and its Moon.
• Built-in Codex that explains everything in game, in English or French.
• "Bdragon Museum" world type: a guided tour with buttons to try everything.
• JourneyMap support (optional): dragon nests on the map.

🚧 Work in progress

5 Alphas out of 11 are already in the game. I'm still working on the other six: Fire, Ice, End, Wither, Terra and Water. Each will get its own body, animations and ultimate power. More structures, balancing and surprises are on the way!

💬 I'm always open to any suggestion: an Alpha design, a power idea, a structure, a balance issue or a bug. Leave a comment, every idea is read!
