Dragon creator standalone

In a previous post I pitched the idea of prioritizing getting the dragon creator ready for testing first and releasing it as an early standalone before the big main version where you'd also be able to take flight and so on. So the standalone would be just the creation part plus some way to pose the dragon and show it off, which would be made available for download similar to the current EA while the rest of the major things for the main version are worked on. After some consideration, I've now decided to go with this approach.

I think even just the creator on its own will bring a lot of visibility to the project, which will help accelerate the development further, and the sooner that happens the better. It's also great for keeping the community engaged since people usually like to show off their creations, so we could have a dedicated channel for that in the discord server and maybe even host competitions. Another angle is that it is perfect for creating content on social media since you can make satisfying time-lapses of the process, which again helps people find the game and potentially support it. In terms of release date, it is still undecided since there are still many major things left to do but the goal is definitely before the end of the year.
