Is everyone still interested in this thread? I've written some more posts.

I've been following it, but I don't really have anything to add at the time being.

Okay. What do you think of my idea about having a Book of Dragons in the game? It's in post #97. (Wow, I can't believe that we have just over 100 posts in this thread! )

I think that sounds like a good idea.

Okay.

I have no suggestions to add but after the scraps of open world that the HTTYD 2 Wii U game gave us (I mean at least you could fly around freely, now I just need that on a 10000x bigger scale), this has been my dream for literal years. Come on, DreamWorks. This would be the best idea rather than just another cheap "movie" game.

Yes, that is exactly what I mean! I was so frustrated by the HTTYD 2 game. Rather than trying to make a quick profit, I wish these companies would actually make a brilliant game that looks gorgeous (the HTTYD 2 game had the graphics of a Nintendo DS). We have the technology now. Look at the capabilities that the Switch has!

I've thought another idea. While flying, you might encounter another dragon in the sky. (A wild Skrill appeared! ) If it attacks, you could engage in a dogfight! How cool would that be? Then if you knock it out of the sky, you could follow it to where it's landed, and if you decide to heal its wounds, it could follow you out of gratitude and you could add it to your roster of tamed dragons.

By the way, what about naming your character and your dragons?

Although that would be cool, I'm not quite sure how the mechanics of the fight would work. Obviously, your dragon's blasts would fly straight ahead, in the direction its head is pointing, but realistically, any dragon you'd engage in a firefight would be dodging, twisting, turning, and moving very quickly. That could become very frustrating to the player, if they can't get a hit in. On the flip-side, however, if you did succeed, it would feel very rewarding...

And I'd think naming your character/dragons is so obvious, it kinda goes without saying.

Hmmm, that's true...

I agree, it's quite obvious really.

It wouldn't necessarily be as bad as you guys think It could just follow similar mechanics to Legend of the Guardians (aka a target locking system that cause the character to automatically dive towards that target instead of open air)

That's true, we might be able to implement that. (I liked the Legend of the Guardians film, but I've never heard of the game. I might buy it. )

Do you think I could help with making anything in the game?
