There have been some new developments regarding the „Drakojan Skies“ reboot. Up until now the game was to be designed with Adobe Flash, and released for free on Adregalus.net. A few background graphics were completed and development was coming along great.

However we gathered a team of talented artists and programmers together, and now it’s going to be official:

We plan on releasing “Drakojan Skies” for smartphones (iPhone, Android, etc) in 2013.

It’s too early to go into details, but it will have classic side-scrolling 2D shoot-em-up gameplay, and will be made entirely in HD 3D/CG graphics. If all goes well expect some big news this summer!

Until then, here are a few quick silhouette drawings of three playable craft.

Which Platforms will the game be released on?

Confirmed are: iPhone, Android.
We’re looking into ways of porting the game to PC and other systems as well.

Will the Smartphone project be free-to-play?

No. Exact cost is currently undetermined. The “Drakojan Skies” smartphone project is a professional production, requiring development funding and a comprehensive marketing campaign. This is why the game will not be available for free, however there will be a free demo before release.

Release Date?
Sometime in 2013.

I'm just wondering if the DS reboot will still be available online in Flash for free play.

MORE EDITS: Originally the Flash version became the Smartphone version, but now they will indeed be separate productions.

The Flash version will be free-to-play and created entirely by myself, while the Smartphone version will be a professional production, and developed in a team.

Also, will it be available for Android?

Yup. :]
