Day of Dragons Newsletter: Issue #1 (Patreon)
Content
Hello everyone, this is our first Newsletter using Patreon. We're excited about this new feature because it allows us to reach our paid and free members as well as the public with Day of Dragons Development News.
Being that this is our first newsletter, we'd like to introduce our game and some of the content we are making.
Day of Dragons is a multiplayer, online Dragon fantasy survival simulation game for PC. That is quite a mouthful. In reality, there are no other dragon games like ours. It all started in 2019 when we launched our very successful Kickstarter raising over a half-million dollars in under 30 days with over 12,000 backers supporting our project. It was more than we ever expected. Thus our tiny indie game studio was born as Beawesome Games LLC and we began creating the new Day of Dragons after scrapping the original alpha game in effort to rebuild a new more complete game from the ground up using Unreal Engine.
Our tiny indie studio includes people like:
Simon Chylinski - the award-winning sound designer for the original Subnautica.
Karly Yohe - a veteran movie rigger and animator specializing in creature animation that worked on several big-budget projects such as the live action Lion King, Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle, and X-Men Apocolypse.
Jia Hao - an extremely talented 3D Illustrator, Modeler, 3D Painter, and Concept Artist specializing in Dragons and Fantasy Creatures.
Additionally, our team has hired talented members straight from our own Kickstarter community, such as Flicker, Ztarli, Echo, and Karta, our Technical Artist, Comic Illustrator, Level Designer, and 2D Concept Artist respectively all working on their first (or second) game projects.
For management, there is Katherine "Bad Parot" Hick who manages our Patreon, makes sure all our animals look anatomically correct, and tells the developers what to do. Then we have Ana "Midnight" Zielinski who does an excellent job running our game community and our community staff. Finally, there is me, Jonathan "SuperRhino" Slabaugh. I am the owner of Beawesome Games and the Project Director and sole programmer for Day of Dragons.
Day of Dragons is a one-of-a-kind Dragon Game being created by a very very small but extremely talented team of developers. But wait, there's more! Not only are we making a game, but we are also developing a comic called Legends of Jrakhon which is available to read for free on Webtoon. We also have partnered with Makeship and StuffedAnimalPros to bring our Dragons to life in the form of Plushies. And lastly, but not leastly, we offer STL files of our Dragons that can be 3D Printed and then painted to make your own collection figures.
We love creating dragon stuff here at Beawesome Games and we'd like to invite all of you to join our Patreon as a free member if you have not yet done so to ensure you get more of our Newsletters to better keep tabs on our project's development.
