I hope you enjoyed this little showcase of Dragontwin! If you are intrigued and want to know more, follow development or participate in playtesting, you are very welcome to the newly created Discord server: discord.gg/dragontwin
That's a great compliment, thank you! It's using a very different approach to producing the animation compared to the standard workflow. All the motion is driven programatically with rules and algorithms, rather than being handcrafted offline and stitched together at runtime as is usually the case, even in AAA productions.
10 year old me would have blown a gasket over this. I was simultaneously a massive dragon nerd and completely obsessed with anything that flew, like flying toys and RC planes/helicopters. Growing up I always wanted a game that would let me play as a dragon and just fly about, but aside from a few not-so-successful attempts, like Drakenguard or Panzer Dragoon, such a game never existed. This is hands down and without exception the best version of this very niche game concept I've ever seen. This is the kind of thing that I would definitely have made myself, had I the skills to do so. 10/10
That's awesome to hear! There's a lot more to come, I have a working prototype of a GPU powered army simulation as well as a GPU powered building destruction system so you can wreak some havok in the world. I want to make the ultimate epic dragon riding experience.
@@DragontwinGame Sounds amazing, I'm excited to see how this project develops, might even join the discord. Environmental or asset destruction in particular is really going to sell the fantasy on offer, so I'm super keen to see what you've got cooking.
@@A-Duck I don't think you'll be disappointed! There's some more information and discussions in the discord, so feel free to join if you have some suggestions or want to chat with me.
This gives me the same feeling as watching Game of Thrones or House of the dragon for the first time, it's surreal. Always wanted something close to the book series, i can't wait where this goes
Yeah, I can't even watch either of them shows because of ptsd to s*xual content. I'm trying to find things similar to it that I CAN enjoy. I already have Skyrim. I've been playing it for about 9 years. And someone suggested me look up this game, and here I am. It looks great, but are we gonna be doing anything other than just flying around on a dragon? Lol.
The way the dragons tail has spines and skin that adjusts with the wind and works to keep the dragon steady and upright is gold, truly platinum quality work
This is beautifully done! I would recommend to give more resistance to the bones of the wings, what I mean by this, the wing falanges look too flexible in comparison of the extensor, they feel like hey are part of the skin when they are actually bones. Thats a nitpick though, Im an animal animator so I dont think this would be picked up by the common audience. This is amazing! I look forward to play this one day!
I noticed too and was actually going to comment the same thing. It just need to be a bit more rigid. The wing membrane should be flimsy and jiggly, but not the part with the bone.
I'm so glad i've seen people talking about this, it looks absolutely gorgeous i'm so excited to see what's to come. What you've done already is fantastic. We need more games that let you play as or ride dragons instead of killing them.
Other than the fingers being part of the membrane (simulation-speaking), it's absolutely gorgeous and just feels real. I adore a good handcrafted animation but I see the necessity of procedural in this instance. Honestly I could do only this flying around all day. The sound of the wings in the wind really sell it all.
Castles, Dragon, armies,a story,an open world and you got the game of the century I want this game to the light I want it to succeed man i wish you the best
That area looks so much fun, those canyons running through the mountains & just the general look of the area is beautiful & natural. Can't wait to see this game when it's ready for release.
I really really hope this game doesn't wither away like so many other projects of it's kind. the only thing we have that's even CLOSE to this dragon flight is day of dragons and that's barely anything. us dragon fans have been chewing on bones when it comes to games, I have incredibly high hopes for this. it makes me so happy seeing these little previews
this actually looks so amazing, please keep up the good work. ive been waiting for a good dragon game like this for ages. take your time and dont rush it
century age of ashes is SUCHHH a good game but sadly I don't enjoy combat-strict based games, if century had an exclusive story/exploring game mode i'd melt. this game is gonna be good I know itt
God ive literally been coming back to watch these videos daily. Something about the way each little bit of webbing between joints moves is just fascinating, its like the same attention to detail in GoT. I'm so excited for this project
Yo this has a limitless potential... i swear you'll have us Eragon/Dragon lovers hooked if you continue to do this one right. I can already see it... a fully flushed out world and lore...... you my friend have a gem in your hands. i support you, and i am eagerly and patiently watching this journey.
Huge fan of dragons. They are my favorite mythological creature. And this looks absolutely breathtaking. I can't wait to see this game to its fullest. So far, so phenomenal, Sidenius!
Yeah, I can't even read the books or watch them shows because of ptsd to s*xual content. I'm trying to find things similar to it that I CAN enjoy. I already have Skyrim. I've been playing it for about 9 years. And someone suggested me look up this game, and here I am. It looks great, but are we gonna be doing anything other than just flying around on a dragon? Lol.
I don't think I've commented on anything in all my time owning UA-cam. But this, this is ABSOLUTLY AMAZING! Great work you have done really really well!! I can't wait to play it!!!
Damn...where did this come from all of a sudden? This is the best dragonflight animation I have seen in my life. No exaggeration. And you mean to tell me that some random guy (no offense) just did this by himself? Take my sub, mate. This is incredible.
I love this, the dragonflight itself still needs some work as I can see the wings bending at strange angles. Other than that though it looks fantastic how it flies at a constant high speed and the wings look the right size for a dragon that large. In a way it almost reminds me of Lair for the PS3 from way back when, hopefully this one makes good on its potential though.
Havent heard of this game? But if this is all the game, just flying on a dragon? SOLD I cant breathe Im so obsessed with House of the Dragon right now this would be a dream
This is absolutely amazing, it looks so realistic in it's body movements, this game will be absolutely beautiful when it releases, I have no doubt... I just wish I knew more about the premise. Like having just found this at random, I know next to nothing about it, but I am trying to gauge my interest.
I love the flight animation, but also the art direction approach with the mountains, clouds and the light. Very gorgeous, I hope you keep it grounded like that (rather than oversaturated fantasy style).
I've actually been putting this on loop. The sound design is so satisfying! You could make an hour long "Roaming the Highlands on Dragonback" ambience video and I'd gladly save it!
Боже! Это великолепно!!! Обожаю драконов и не раз натыкалась на ваши видео, но не поняла, что это разработка игры. Думала просто качественная анимация. Теперь с нетерпением жду вашей игры! Надеюсь там будет возможность просто полетать по карте в свободном режиме, без выполнения заданий. Драконы моя страсть и мечта❤❤❤ Желаю удачи и что бы у вас всё получилось! ❤❤❤
Pretty good. The wing animations when flapping are not particularly realistic, they look stiff and rigid. Love the movements for the hips and tail, those look (movement-wise) the same as those in/of birds as the bird turns and starts moving in a different direction. The SFX of the wind are phenomenal, very nice. Good work, you are doing a very good job so far, especially since you are doing all the things (rigging, model design, SFX, etcetera) on your own without help.
Brother if you can bring this game to life you’ll make a fortune, and have a fan base like you can’t even imagine. I can tell from what I’ve seen and read you’re not in it for the money, but it’ll come flowing regardless with dragons like this.
Complete suggestion, so take it with a grain of salt... I love the animations you have for the flight physics so far, but that doesn't mean it can't be improved! I would suggest looking into the animations they did for the flying in the Guardians of Ga'hoole movie or heck, even the Wii game they made has some pretty outlandishly realistic flight and combat mechanics for early 2000s. Maybe you learn a thing or two, or maybe there's nothing useful. Either way, I know a lot of people, myself included, already see this game as a child's dream come true!
Yeah, I can't even watch that show because of ptsd to s*xual content. I'm trying to find things similar to it that I CAN enjoy. I already have Skyrim. I've been playing it for about 9 years.

this looks sooo good. Reading the books from Naomi Novik Temeraire lately and really wish there would be a videogame were you can ride dragons and fight like in the books.
Salutations fellow Dragon, I love you demo videos of this game so far. I am very excited, no one has made a good dragon rider survival game yet and honestly it really ticked me, PLEASE let this be a game where you can raise your dragon and evolve it to be as big or bigger than Balerion The Black Dread, with Ariel Dragon battles with dragon combat, and maybe even customization like scale color, skin, and even fire color form Normal to just black and even ground riding and fighting, Mountain climbing, and even diving into the sea and swimming, and choosing your own path, like a hero to king, or a Tyrant, with choose your words, like a combo between assassin's creed Valhalla and Game of Thrones. Also with realistic reactions from the people when you land or just riding your dragon on the ground like a horse, and maybe even a revenge story in there too, Oh and Please let this be a game for PS$ and PS5 with a Single player Campagne story option, If that is Possible that would be Awesome, I have been waiting for a game like this to come!
game of thrones gibi büyük bir krallık içerisinde ejder binicisi olan bir ailenin savaş hayatı ilgi çekici bir oyun konusu olabilir. emeklerinize çok saygı duyuyorum. bayıldım. lütfen geliştirmeye devam edin ❤️
I hope there will be different dragons in the game and not just the usual wyvern type. Would love to see the classical four legged winged dragon. Maybe have some Chinese mythical dragons or Ampitheres. Serpents and hydras would be cool too. There are a wide variety of dragons yet no game has ever really shown the different types of dragons in mythology.
I really I hope I get to play this someday. It looks incredible. The only thing I would say in criticism is that the wings movement need a lot of work. They look very floppy and like paper just slapping around in the wind. This game looks amazing though.

In all these decades of gaming, no AAA developer has provided such great dragon flying gameplay

@@DragontwinGame wow! So cool
So is that called "procedural"?
@@nomad7317 Exactly!
@@DragontwinGame great one mate! Hope to see a shipped game of yours?
@@nomad7317 I hope so too!
The dragon's movements and wiggles seem so realistic and natural, it's a delight to even just watch

I agree with everything you've just said.
same, never had something cool with the dragon theme.
I love that the ribcage and hips have their own seperate sections. Most of the time the whole dragon is ridged except for the wings.
*rigid I was confused for a sec lol

Great job! Please, share more videos of the process of making the dragon's flight!
There will be more videos, make sure you subscribe to not miss anything :P
@@DragontwinGame subscribed! Will be glad to learn more about the development process you have.

Not gonna lie this is the third video I’ve watched of yours! You SIR have just earned a Subscriber
I anticipate more.
I also wish players can play as dragons or humans and team up.
Yep, me too.
In all my life I’ve never seen dragon flying look this good
PERFECTION!!!!! I wanna give you my money so badly

Bro I love what you did with the wings it actually feels alive, amazing man
This is going to be my new favorite game
Very impressive and realistic, absolutely love it! I would love to see it in ark ASA as a mod 😬🔥
Fuck that, make it a separate game as a whole and introduce a whole buch of new stuff to it, ark is fun but not worth the time now

I saw about this on Instagram, glad I found this channel! I would give EVERYTHING for such a game❤️🤯
Animation is insane. Definitely keeping an eye out.
PLEASE EVER SINCE EMBERFALL CRASHED AND BURNED I'VE HAD NO HOPE!!! This looks sick!!!!!
god.. if Drakan had been made in the current year i could only dream it looked this good.
looks like a dream comming true
THIS GAME LOOKS FUCKING ASTONISHING. AMAZING. INCREDIBLE. GREAT WORK OMFG.
Given that the dragon is heavily inspired by Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion I can't help but wish there was a Game of Thrones game like this.

imagine this as an open-world multiplayer game
There are certain things we as gamers have always wanted that game studios and developers have never been able to fulfill. This is one of them.
Such a game, where only the player is the one having a dragon or dragons, would be fucking insane.
Subscribed! I wanna see where this goes. Keep it up!!

God this looks beautiful. Holy hot damn.
this looks amazing
We got medieval Flight Simulator before Gta 6
Looks great!
I’m so hyped for this game, once it’s out I’ll already be in the game
This needs First person POV
This is how Ark should look like

Woah what is this its the best thing ive ever seen
Nice concept! Now just add some villages to set ablaze! 😆

Dis looks too clean my g, this NEEDS to become a game! I'mma be there day 1 to buy a copy the day it releases on console!
My pedantic side wants to say that this isn't a dragon as they have four legs, but this looks soooo amazing I think I'll let it pass XDDD
Finaly someone made it
Great work! I would love to play test when it gets to that phase.
NEED TO PLAY THISSS
I'm currently playing Draconia... But omg I am getting this game for sure!
I can't wait to be a Targaryen dragonrider!
this looks sooo good. Reading the books from Naomi Novik Temeraire lately and really wish there would be a videogame were you can ride dragons and fight like in the books.
This is so bloody cool
Can we have guide how to make dragon flight that smooth? im curious about what you did to make it that natural in look?
Fantastic work!
And I love the showcase
IM ECSTATIC i cant wait for this to come out i will pass away
I hopefully this game coming on consoles and look awesome!
Can someone please make a music video with this footage playing on the background? PLEASE i want to see this with "Test Flight".

@Sidenius, just curious; will the player's dragon be able to grow bigger than what we've seen so far, or is that the limit?
Probably yes, I haven't yet experimented with the growth mechanic. I need to see how far I can take it before things start to break lol
@@DragontwinGame understandable.
I hope there will be different dragons in the game and not just the usual wyvern type. Would love to see the classical four legged winged dragon. Maybe have some Chinese mythical dragons or Ampitheres. Serpents and hydras would be cool too.
