I spent the last days with improving the current beta test version of Monkeys & Dragons. I want to thank all beta testers who sent me e-mails in the last days. The feedback was very positive and I thank you for all the ideas you sent me. Many suggestions are already part of this update.
If you want to get a free copy of Monkeys & Dragons to beta test it, your next chance is on IndieDB!
Chapter 2 is going to be published next week.
