Prepare yourself for the final installment in the Slay the Dragon trilogy
(https://tgamespics.webs.com/Logo%20Transparent.png)
This game takes place five years after Slay the Dragon 2, and the hero has become King of the realm. But now a new threat has arrived: Three dragons are wreaking havoc across the land. The hero must once again take up the sword and defeat them. With help from his brave general and the wise Grand Magi, the hero will travel to three different areas to hunt down the dragons.

The game is about one-quarter of the way complete. Here's a link to its page on Gamejolt (https://gamejolt.com/games/Dragon3/384088). I'm going to try to post an update every week on the game's progress.

Indeed :D
Well...
Spoiler
Seems bigger than the dragon's claw... (but maybe a bigger dragon would show later...)
TheFrighther - Great point! I'll have to go change that (laugh)
@TheFrighther: Fixed it!
The very first devlog is now on gamejolt: https://gamejolt.com/games/Dragon3/384088 (https://gamejolt.com/games/Dragon3/384088)
Production is going smoothly. :-D
A few backgrounds for the game's intro:

Hey everyone! :-D
I have been on vacation over the past few weeks and because of that production was slow on the second area of the game. But now that I am back I've kicked it back into full gear. I have some screenshots of backgrounds (Mostly in progress) for the second area, the Frostlands!

A large gateway of ice marks the entrance into the frozen tundra.

What hides in the forests of the Frostlands?

(Very in progress) Climb to the top of the icy mountain to reach the ice dragon.

(Very in progress) The dragon hides away in a cave of ice. Enter and strike down the foul beast!
All of the backgrounds for the Frostlands are now complete! All that is left now is the art for the characters and objects.
Here is a look at the finished versions of the backgrounds I showed in the previous post.

I've played the two previous entries in the series and it's awesome to see the improvement in quality. This looks way more polished and complex than the first ones. Good luck with the production!
Hobo: Thank you so much! I've really been putting more time into graphics to make this game look a lot better than the other two did. I've been chugging away steadily for the past several months but there is still a lot more to do, your kind words are a big motivator!
Thanks to the quarantine, I'm back on production of the game and have just finished coding the next area.
It's cool to see how your art skills have progressed, I'd imagine Slay the Dragon 10 would be in 3d with full HD graphics! ;)
I have finished up the coding and the backgrounds for the next area. It's been almost a year since I last worked on the game so I'm still getting back into my art style, but it is fun to be working on the game again.

If you thought dragons were the only creatures inhabiting the world... you'd be wrong

Great monster!
@Durq Thank you!
Hey! It's great to see this back in the production.
That monster looks like it's about to poke it's own eyes out with those fangs :-D
How much of the game is planned out anyway? Got any ideas yet, how it will compare with previous entries in terms of scale and lenght?
@Hobo Great to see your interest! This game is much larger than the other ones. I planned out the entire game back when I first started working on it. The game has three main sections that are all about as long as Slay the Dragon II. The pictures I just posted are from a smaller section of the game that you need to complete before moving onto one of the big sections. I am now working on coding the last main area of the game, so I am pretty close to being complete. This game will also feature actually fights with the dragons, instead of the last two where you needed to solve a simple puzzle to defeat the dragon.
The three main areas of the game are basically complete (besides adding in extra look/interact descriptions)

All that's left now is to make the end sequence, finish up all of the dragon fights, and add sound!
Will you have what it takes to slay the beastly fire dragon?

Nice screenshots mate! ;-D
Thanks! CaptainD
Nice effect on the ice dragon.
Thanks Creamy!
Quick update! The game can now be fully played from start to finished. I am now going back and adding in audio and extra look and interact descriptions for extra detail. I don’t know how long this process will take because I have finals coming up, but the game will definitely be released in June!
