I have been working on a MaYP “Shipwrecked on an Island” game for some time now. There is so much prep work required to create the framework for a sandbox world (pun intended), that it is going to take time to get it out for other people. But R. Winders recent release of Star Charter focused
Month: April 2022
Dragonvale – Summer Event 2022 – The Dragon Bandwagon
Smigi Dragon
The Smigi dragon shares only 3 elements; air, light and dark. Wind dragon is the regular hybrid with the shortest breed time.
10% cloning chance means 7 attempts for a 50/50 chance to breed a Smigi dragon. 11.58 hour average fail time, means 3.38 days required for an even money chance.
Scryer Dragon
The Scryer dragon shares cold, lightning, light and dark. Storm is the regular with the shortest breed time.
Another 10% cloning chance, this time with an average fail time of 15.49 hours. This will make 4.52 days for a 50/50 chance.
Stage Dragon
Stage shares fire, metal, light and dark. Brass has the shortest breed time.
10% chance yet again. It gives us a decent chance to get all 3 of these during the course of the event. There is an average fail time of 16.22 when cloning a Stage dragon with a Brass dragon. 4.73 days for an even money chance of success.
Best of luck everyone.

Star Charter – Games 9 to 18
The RWinder has released V1.0 of Star Charter so you can now play for yourself. If you are new to Make as You Play, this game would be a great introduction.
Game 10
My first outer ring world. It costs 18 to travel from the middle ring to the outer ring. But because I created the hub world of Beaulise in Sector 41., and I could create a space lane from 43. to 41., it only cost me 9.
Game 13
Lots of travel around the middle ring in this game, with no hub worlds. That’s 3 hops that cost me 12 fuel each, and then 9 fuel to make the 3rd and final jump to an outer sector, creating a hub world and space lane. You can also see how the cards in the travel line are starting to have a decent amount of fuel on them, to help make the outer worlds more accessible.
Game 16
My longest journey so far. Even though it was mostly around the inner sectors, I still ended up with a world with 8 fuel.
Game 17
This was a short game, but the final jump illustrates something interesting. I finished on a new outer sector, but I jumped from a middle sector that already had 3 space lanes. So even though I created the new hub world of Murpokku, I did not get a discount to travel, and it cost me 18 Fuel.
Game 18
New record journey. I actually ran out of cubes, because I only carry 8 of each type with me. And again I finished on an outer hub world with no space lane, so I didn’t get the fuel discount. But my deck now has a world card with 11 fuel.
This is a post (tangentially) about the design and development of a currently unnamed Shipwreck Game. You can see the other Blog posts at the Index for the Game.
Dragonvale – Spring Event 2022 – Breed a Niamh Dragon
MEADOW + earth + air
The 4 elements in this pairing are plant, earth, air & light.
1.5% chance to breed a Niamh dragon, means you require 46 attempts for a 50/50 chance. An average fail time of just over 11 hours, means you need 21.24 days for an even money chance.
Clone a Niamh Dragon
Niamh shares the same 4 elements when breeding. The regular hybrid with the shortest breed time is Wind.
Only 1% chance of cloning, means you require 69 attempts for a 50/50 chance to clone a Niamh dragon. The average fail time is essentially the same as when breeding, which results in 31.88 days for that even money chance. But, because there is only 1 set parent, and Niamh shares the necessary breeding elements, you can combine the breeding and cloning stats for your best chance to breed a Niamh dragon.
MEADOW + NIAMH
2.5% breeding/cloning chance means you require only 28 attempts for a 50/50 chance. 11.33 hours average fail time, means 13.22 days for the even money shot to breed a Niamh dragon.
Because the only set parent is the regular hybrid Meadow, it should be easy enough to get enough of them to breed in every cave. Meadow + Niamh in the Cooperative Breeding Cave and Meadow + Sandstorm in all the others. Best of luck.
