Revontuli Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 I've decided to post maps of the first three levels in the default mode here to help folks learning the game. This will get you to the midboss at the end of level 3 - the main boss is on level 7 (and every 7 levels afterwards if you're playing infinite mode): Level 1: Level 2: Level 3: As mentioned above - this game is available for purchase in the AtariAge Store - check it out! 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revontuli Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) I managed to get my hands on an Atari CX22 Trak-Ball, and I found playing the game with it was rather fun! I was only playing in joystick mode (since I hadn't added in code for the full trackball experience), and it took a little getting used to, but I think there's something there. When I figured out the control range, it worked nicely, and felt like it had more "resolution" than the joystick with the way I handle momentum. Spinning the ball *could* work, but moving the ball less than 180 degrees tended to work better and more accurately (plus I think the actual trackball is a little loose, so big spins can miss the contacts). It's been awhile since I had a good ol' fashioned centrally positioned trackball, for *any* platform, but if Dragon's Descent *had* been released as an arcade cabinet in 1982, I entertain the visual of it having a trackball controller. Which might further frustrate those who are still getting the hang of the dragon's momentum Edited February 27, 2022 by Revontuli 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I've started a thread to keep everyone updated on the production of all the new pre-order games, including Dragon's Descent. I'm also posting photos as items arrive, such as the boxes, manuals, labels, posters, and other items once I've received them! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! ..Al 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Back Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 @PlaidMouse you and me both! I've purposely avoided playing any demos of this game so I can get the full experience, and I can't wait! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
