Expectation: A polished dragon survival game with frequent updates, balanced mechanics, and breathtaking gameplay.
Reality: A “dragon sandbox” that hasn’t seen meaningful progress since you started college, but hey—those emote packs sure are shiny!

Pro Tip: Lower your expectations to zero. Anything above that is a win.

You're going to be here a while. Set up your space for maximum comfort:

A plush throne for all the sitting you’ll be doing.
A framed photo of your Kickstarter pledge, so you can remember when you were full of hope.
A calendar to cross off the months as updates slip further into the distant horizon.

Optional: A dartboard with the lead dev’s excuses pinned to it—fun and therapeutic!

Free examples provided here :

Browse the Steam forums: Read the fresh wave of salty reviews and community squabbles. Who needs Netflix when the drama is free?
Play other games: Preferably ones that update regularly and don’t charge extra for basic features.
Write your own game: With five years of development time, you’ll probably finish yours first.

Every time the dev team releases a statement, whip out your bingo card and mark off these classics:

“UE5 tools don’t work.”
“We’re reworking our roadmap.”
“Big things are coming—stay tuned!”
“The community is toxic, and it’s your fault.”

First to get a bingo wins! Your prize? The satisfaction of being right.

Nothing screams “productive waiting” like buying more dragons! Sure, the base game is still unfinished, but why not invest in additional content that will also remain unfinished?

Acid Spitter: $7.99 for more running away!
Blitz Striker: $9.99 for hovering over your regrets!
Emote Packs: Because nothing says “I’m coping” like paying $4.99 to wave at the guy who ate your free dragon.

Since the devs are busy perfecting the art of delay, take the initiative to draft updates for them! Let your imagination soar higher than their dragons ever will:

Update 1.2.0: Added “crying” emote for free dragons. Improved bug textures to be slightly less bugged.
Update 1.3.0: Introduced new feature: The Waiting Simulator, where players sit in an empty field imagining what the game could be.
Update 2.0.0: Rolled back to UE4. Reintroduced bugs (the insect kind, not the fun-breaking kind—those are staying forever).
Update 2.1.0: Nesting system changes again !
Update 2.2.0: "Brood Watcher" is released, but it sucks.
Hotfix: Fixed an issue where hope accidentally spawned in some players.

By the time you’re done, you’ll have created a roadmap more impressive than anything they’ve managed to stick to in five years. Ambition is the key.

Channel your inner dragon and summon the update through sheer force of will!

Form a circle with your friends who regret buying the game.
Chant, “Big things are coming,” until someone passes out from laughter.
Sacrifice your dignity to the dev team.

If this doesn’t work, you’ve still got the laughter to keep you warm.

Eventually, you’ll come to terms with the fact that the next update is as real as a dragon hoard in your backyard. Take comfort in knowing that you’re not alone. Thousands of others are waiting with you, bonded by shared disappointment.

I'm at this step currently.


You’ll uninstall the game when you’re truly done. But you’re not there yet. No, you’re still holding onto that tiny ember of hope, waiting for the devs to suddenly fix five years of nonsense in one magical patch.

Spoiler: They won’t. But keep the game installed just in case. Hope springs eternal!

Waiting for Day of Dragons updates is an art form—one that requires patience, humor, and the willingness to laugh at the absurdity of it all. Until the next patch (or the heat death of the universe), remember: at least you didn’t buy the emote pack. Or did you? 😏

Get Blasted by sheeples and devs themselves, because toxic positivity is a culture trait in this community. But who cares anyway ? you are far enough already, DoD is none of your business any more.


Farewell DoD, may you rest in pepperoni
