  Endless chapter - Second chance after the king’s bribe

  These patch notes are full of spoilers for the Endless chapter, level 11 dungeon: If you took the king’s gold in the level 11 dungeon instead of fighting him, you’re no longer stuck at dungeon level 10. You can return to the endless chapter dungeon at level 11, where the king has new dialogue and you can choose to confront him and start the king battle. Existing saves that were capped after a bribe should pick this up the next time you enter the endless dungeon. If you're still stuck on level 10 after beating it once, sadly you'll have to clear the save game and try again. Chapters will remain unlocked after a Clear Save, though.

  Now That's a Big Dragon - 1.0.2 Update

  Hello, Dragon Slayers!First, I want to give a heartfelt thank-you to everyone playing Now THAT'S a Big Dragon! I truly appreciate all your support and feedback.Here is the game's first post-launch update. I've already started putting your feedback into action to make the game even better for you. This update includes progression improvements, balance changes, and several important fixes.HighlightsUpgrades can now be unlocked even if you have not purchased the corresponding unit. This makes dungeon upgrades more accessible and gives you more options when pursuing achievements.Some achievements are now easier to work towards, but they are still intentionally designed to be challenging. They should reward planning, persistence, and mastery of the game. You can do it!!!The chapter 'The Magic Toy' now comes before 'Resources Management'. Defeating the Dummy unlocks both remaining chapters, giving you more progression choices and making your return to Forth'aarh more dramatic.Instead of receiving a 1M gold investment from the King, you now begin 'The Magic Toy' with 2M gold.The 'Resources Management' chapter now begins with 10 of each resource.About the Game's LengthSome players have mentioned completing the game in less than 2 hours. This appears to come from a confusion in treating the first chapter as the full game.The first chapter is only the beginning of the adventure. There is much more to discover afterwards, including additional chapters, dungeons, progression systems, and challenging achievements. Forth'aarh is confused by this misunderstanding.FixesFixed the 3D maze camera. On rare occasions, the camera would face the floor.Fixed Steam Overlay visual glitches. You should now see smoother visuals after a Steam Overlay notification appears.Statistics meters now correctly count clicks and critical clicks.What's NextAnother common point of complaint was the dungeon and how some people don't see the point in playing it. I'm going over all the suggestions and will ad...
