This game is pretty cool, I have some suggestions.

I think there Should be more events like; Stealing other stuff from Enemy Colonies (Wood, Food etc),

Colony Wars; Winning Gives you Food, materials, Eggs and Storage at the cost of Soldier Dragons and/or Normal Dragons too (Increases Rate as you have more Dragons in your colony),Events that can make you optionally make colony wars as well. (ex: Random dragon stealing egg from you)

More Comments on Getting absurdly High amounts of Food and gold;

ex: Your Home is Little more than a divot in a cliff, winding down into a small resting place. It is place where Gold flows out of it like water. Filled to the brim with so much gold that it is hard to walk inside and outside, even for a dragon like you, it might be not enough.

There Should be more events that are negative towards the player. Like Food Rotting, Water Becoming Undrinkable, Plague between the dragons, Natural Disasters destroying houses, storages and killing dragons.

Dragons having reactions and arguments between eachother, and you need to talk your way out of it or exiling them. (Realisticly they are greedy creatures this not happening is kinda unbelievable.)

Builder Dragons being more smart, Like why 55 builder dragons are planning to make A SINGULAR HOLLOW. They should be divide eachother into groups with 5 dragons, in them each group should be able to make seperate buildings.

More Buildings. If the builder dragon plan is used it makes sense to have buildings that give more Storage, and drops the chances of bad events from happening  like "Fridge" that decreases chances of bad event like food rotting and giving you a huge amount of storage like 100.

Mass Building a building feature, its good to have a QoL like that.

my current colony (that i currently deleted accidently while typing):

Got a bug or an error where the build cost was infinite for an outpost. I don't know if that's because I queued up too many projects or had too many builders, but I couldn't build anything after this. I canceled everything but the current project (which couldn't be canceled) yet the cost remained infinite. I still beat the hydra, but I kinda just made all my new hatchlings soldiers

That's a new one. I'll get to hunting—thank you!

ETA--might also be builder count. Try scooting a few of them to other jobs for a bit, maybe twenty or so? I suspect I missed a failsafe in the builder building speed curve.

Found a Bug .

Make that 2.

Just going to keep doing this as I find them. Gold seems to be treated as 0.

Much obliged! I'll get these fixed up. Patch should be out tomorrow. =)

It’s great to see this finally get an update! The new content has been great so far, but I have found that if anyone other than the founder brings back gold, it breaks the gold count. The game also sometimes allows you to use more stone than you have.

Shoot, thank you! I'll get a hotpatch out quick-fast.

Any news on the Dreki front?

At long last, we have an update! Thank you so much for your patience.

theres any safe amound of dragons  to fight the hidra? will get more buildings once i defeat it?

The Hydra event is currently the end of the demo—there's not much after that in this version, just continuing to play. No more buildings, unfortunately; they're coming though!

For the fight, you need at least 10 adult dragons to start that. Otherwise, I'd personally say you should have at least 15, with soldiers, for the fight itself. Most of your defense is gonna come from the buildings you put up after starting the raid. =)

well, i hoarded like 100 adult dragons and counting

Goodness gracious, that's a lot of dragons. I think I misunderstood your question initially; let me try again.

Most of your defense against the Hydra comes from building defensive structures; given how time-intensive most of them are, that's a bit tough. Dragons not assigned to be a soldier don't participate in the raid; they're sheltering and letting the military handle matters. Perhaps that explains it?

kinda of, i was afraid that most of my dragon pack could die if the hydra was way too powerful, but i guess not even the most powerful of monsters could severely harm such a horde of hiper-musculated flying lizards attaching in group, much less defeat it

Hey! I love this concept, and I was wondering if you're looking for an artist to augment your text based game with a little eye candy? 

Glad you like it, but no thank you! I assume this would be commission work, and since DREKI is a hobby, I won't be commissioning art for it. =)

would you be interested on free art? it would also be useful for me since i need absolutely any project for my art final work

Thank you! But, no thank you. I'm not currently interested in art for DREKI. Best of luck with your finals, though!

youre welcome and thank you anyways

Actually, I were gonna offer free art on a likewise hobby basis. Drawing cute dragons is a stress relief for me. My only demand is that my pace for it being a hobby work done when I can spare time and spoons for it be respected. 

Oh, I see! But I'm still going to have to say no, though I appreciate the offer; maybe later on? Thank you still.

Alright, thank you for the answer. Looking forward to further updates!

Would love to see more at some point.

There will be—glad you're enjoying it enough to want more! Just had a bit of a kerfuffle with my previous laptop, but we're back on work now. =)

Hells ya.

the game does reall seem very coool <3 but i did wanted to ask will there be customization for your own dragon?

(+1)

Thank you! It's in my considerations, but I'm not sure when I'll get to that. =)

(+1)

Its an excellent game !! I have a question though . Can't dragons mate together so we can get eggs without stealing them from other herds ?

(+3)

Thank you for playing Dreki! I'm glad you enjoyed. Dragons will be able to get together and have eggs—it's part of the next update, in fact! =)
