Castle Level, Achievements for Dragon Audit Released

Purchasers of Dragon Audit can now download the Castle level — this means that all in-game content except the ending is now playable!

George and Ayraw must fix the castle’s paternoster in order to complete the audit.  Search the castle for useful parts:

Along the way, you’ll get to see George & Ayraw’s backstories, too:

Also included is a new built-in achievement system — all of them but ‘Beat the Game’ should currently be unlockable:

The custom PC controls binding system that previously debuted in the demo is also now available:

There’s also some improved visuals of the mainland peninsula leading up to Ayraw’s floating island:

There are too many changes to list, but here’s some of the popularly requested fixes and systems:

  • Specials updated in Squelch’s Tavern
  • Don’t run when looking at UI
  • Custom mouse cursor
  • Fixed jumping down stairs
  • Smoother movement through doors and against walls so you don’t get stuck moving
  • Improved visuals
  • Added a secret to Castle

To play it, just open the launcher (AESU) and you should get the latest content automatically.  The build date on the main menu should be 7/28 and marked ‘CAS’ (for Castle).

The dev status page has also been updated.

The Battle Accountant City of Squelch

The first half of Dragon Audit is now released and playable!  The game has been updated to include all of the City of Squelch.

Squelch is a city of battle accountants, and it’s here where we meet one of our two main characters, George.

When George arrives at work, his boss assigns him the task of auditing Dragon Castle — a location known to host a dangerous, fire-breathing dragon.  Nevertheless, it’s his task to slay this dragon and rescue the princess… and more importantly, rescue the tax revenue.

To begin his quest, George will first have to figure out how to get out of his own city.  This is harder than you might think, as few people ever leave the safety of the city walls.  Dangerous monsters lurk outside, after all.

George will enlist the help of a cast of colorful characters he meets in his travels through the city.  Through good old fashioned adventure gameplay, you’ll get to talk to many NPCs, do some light puzzle solving, and find numerous hidden jokes as you explore the city.

It’s available right now via DragonAudit.com.  If you already have the game installed, simply launch again and AESU will pull & apply the patch automatically.  To ensure your game has updated to the latest version, check the build date in the bottom left of the main menu — it should be 11/29/2019 or later.

Also look forward to the next gameplay sequence, wherein you’ll get to play as our dragoness, Ayraw!
