We're finally done with version 2 of Kingdom of the Dragon! Thanks so much for all of your feedback, we hope you enjoy it!
Version 2.0 Changelog:

Improved combat with a faster attack animation. The sword swing now feels more "instant", which improves the feel of combat
A brand new island to explore just offshore from the first island. Completing this island will give you access to...
A world map, with the general locations of each major upgrade in the game
New "Lore Books", which will give more backstory into the world and what has happened. Find them all!
The backstep move has been taken out. Not many people used it, and it was causing an exploit in the game. Now, the player simply rolls forward when either trigger button is pressed on a gamepad.
Tweaked some of the puzzles so the objective is a little more clear
Improved the quality of some of the textures
Moved the locations of some of the campfires
Overall bug fixes and performance optimization. Delta-time will no longer be calculated below a certain framerate. This was causing some of the physics to go crazy at lower framerates
If you're a returning player, we recommend starting a new game (though it is not necessary). If you're new to Kingdom of the Dragon, then dive right in!

October Update!
September flew by for us, and we got a ton of work done on Kingdom of the Dragon. We don't want to spoil too much, but we added some major fights and also finalized the inventory screen. The inventory system was a huge project for such a small team, and something we'd been dreadi
