winning you get the chance to learn something…maybe  
Losing you definitely get a chance to learn a lot…unless your really stubborn or proud.  
accepting you might not win mid fight and convince the other into a temporary truce. Winner winner chicken dinner.

just a thought but if you need help on this project just try for a closed beta testers group to find bugs and typo’s

I see this as its own game imo. While it is similar to that dragon gane there arent many in the first place. Thats why i think the author should go ahead with this

I think the opposing stats are a little misleading.

> [@hexfur](#):
>
> Slower: less chance to hit but more likely to land a more powerful blow  
> Weaker: typically the weaker dragon is smarter, & a smarter dragon can find more openings or be able to recognize a move that does the most damage.  
> Clumsiness: what @Gower said, slapstick comedy based on random variables lol

This could work if you got a strength increase every time you get a agility decrease, but you would also have to get a intelligence decrease every time you you get a strength increase, there’s also comes the problem of know weather you need to have a high intelligence to pass certain checks or high weakness, and you can only have one opposing stat. Maybe using something like **Skill** instead of **Weak** or **Luck** instead of **Clumsiness**.

I like the idea of having multiple types of minions like that, especially ones that specialize in certain things like guarding treasure or spying.

Also, I noted an issue with customization that’s kind of contradictive; You have the option of choosing your dragons’ claws even if you chose for your dragon to be entirely legless.

Not sure how much work I can get done today. Been sick all morning (puking, fever, ect) & I don’t feel like I can sit at my laptop safely for the moment (this is from my phone). As soon as I get better I will be working again (I usually get sick for a day then I’m good, so if I’m not able to work today I can definitely work tomorrow)

Feeling well enough to at least look for bugs for a bit. May not be able to upload today or do extensive work today.

Found an error with the fur. I forgot to set the skin variable, but that’s fixed.  
No Legs: that issue was fixed within my own copy, so at the next upload you will see that change  
Researching my issue with the scars (scars can play a part in certain conversations later)

If possible, I will do the following:  
Add in a few more fight choices. Due to the amount of variables, the fight section will take a long time to write compared to other parts (maybe three days, depending on sick I am & how often I can work, next few days I will be in various appointments for me or my kid)  
Fix the Scar “Inventory”

</div>

Current fight choices finished (more or less, may make adjustments for stats later):  
Go for the eyes  
Dodge to the side  
Dodge upwards  
Sneak attack  
Stop fighting

Feeling better today but still sick. Will work when I can & upload whatever I have tonight

Anyone who chooses the “go for the eyes” option & has no spinal adornment, please look at your stat screen & help me figure out how to fix the Scar section. If you have any idea how to fix it, please respond to this thread

> I’ve looked at the other inventory tutorials & their making my head spin terribly. I want to make a sort of inventory where instead of items, it describes Scars you’ve collected over time (there are a set number of scars overall, I’ve only got one in the game possibly that I want to test this system with) Last tutorial I read was [Basic Store/Inventory](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/basic-store-inventory/13586) & I’ve been kind of following that, while trying to edit it myself to see if it works. So far it’s not breaking the game at least.

Finished:  
Go for the underbelly  
Go for the legs  
Go for the tail  
Go for the neck  
Shock him  
Freeze him

Game was updated this morning

New:  
Hatchling fight scene  
Scars - Spinal, Facial, Belly scars. Torn wing, Broken horns, Broke claws, & missing scales  
Serpents - now automatically have serpent tails  
No Legs - no longer ask you about your feet, feet are set to “None”

Coming Up:  
Endfight label will be finished & lead into the end of the hatchling scene  
#Spend time reading - whats planned is you get to choose which culture you learn about (Pomaiin, Dwarven, Centaur, or Human), which language you wish to learn to speak (Pomaiin, Dwarven, or Centaur. Common language is spoken by humans & most other creatures), learn about magick, or even read about history in general

**Note about Pomaiin** this is the Elven language, made with the Vulgar language maker

@hexfur  
When making a (thick) western dragon is there a way to make it where it has wings that connect to back, walk on two legs and actual arms?(if not please add arms) The closest reference I can think of is the dragon’s in “High School DXD”.
