Credits update.

The moment you've been waiting for is almost here.

Get ready to dive into a hauntingly beautiful narrative that’s filled with more chills than ever before and is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Not only will you get to experience a freshly polished build of the game, but we're also bringing a new key art illustrated by the talented Satchely that perfectly captures the essence of the game.

Add the demo to your wishlist now and be ready for October 27th! Our story is in your hands. 🌸

We’ve added more than a hundred easter eggs to Dreamout.
And we didn’t even try to hide them - they’re absolutely everywhere.
You’ll constantly bump into familiar characters from games and movies, all doing something completely ridiculous.

You can also find and wear dozens of different hats - each one borrowed from someone you probably recognize.



And yes, every guest character in our world seems to share the same passion - drinking beer.
Walk into any bar, and you’ll see what we mean.
Don’t forget to talk to them - they have plenty of strange, drunk, and surprisingly philosophical things to say.

Besides the guests, we filled the world of Dreamout with all kinds of bizarre inhabitants:
a talking cabbage, a carrot man, an alien sitting inside a chicken, watermelon thugs, a reptiloid, and even alcoholic butterflies.

And yet, our main heroine - the alpaca - remains the only truly talking animal in this entire mess.



Which character surprised you the most? Share your thoughts!

• Fixed an issue with Blobber Direction resolution for first person views.

• Fixed an issue with map/tools not updating on moving Entity/Reference/Doodad/Light.

• Behind-the-scenes work for a new Action Sequence detail.

This game wouldn't exist without Unreal Engine, and the support from the MegaGrant is a very meaningful boost for development.

I'll be polishing the custom guitar designer, guitar shop, and dream realm gameplay...

And hopefully the game will be in your hands soon! 🤘🤘

I’m a solo developer, and Dragon Gate: Tournament is my very first game. Between full-time work and life, development eventually became overwhelming and frankly no longer fun. Luftikus Games started as a dream project, so I decided to take a step back and rediscover the joy of creating games.
That break turned into almost six months, which means the release window has also shifted. The game is now planned to launch after Steam Next Fest in March 2026.

During that time, I realized that my original vision - story campaign, 20+ tracks, multiple vehicles, etc. was simply too big for a solo developer. To deliver something polished and enjoyable, I had to scale way back and focus on the core experience.

This also affects the demo: to avoid too much overlap with the full version, some content (like the Polar Base track and a few power-ups) will be removed in the upcoming October update and reserved for the full release. I know this might disappoint some of you, but I hope this transparency helps explain why.


Even with these adjustments, the demo will remain fun and packed with action, especially with the new additions coming this month!

• New tutorial track
  
• Turn-Around feature (read more later)
  
• New music and sound effects
  
• Improved damage system
  
• Polished UI and better performance
  
• Lots of bug fixes and gameplay tweaks

More details coming in the changelog!


NEW POWER-UPS: I’ve been designing a fresh batch of chaotic new power-ups. Without spoiling too much: you’ll be able to jam enemy controls with a virus, unleash swarms of mini-rockets, turn invisible to avoid attacks, or pull everyone around you into disaster with a magnetic field.
Got cool ideas for new power-ups? Join the official Luftikus Games Discord!

NEW TRACKS: Track design used to be my weakest point — but it’s slowly becoming a strength. A brand-new tutorial map and four additional tracks are on the way, set across scrapyards, harbors, dams, and deserts. Each offers a unique twist and atmosphere.

PROCEDURAL GENERATION: I’m experimenting with a special mode that builds tracks from random segments, creating a fresh layout every time. It’s early in development, but it could add a great layer of replayability beyond the handcrafted tracks.

META-PROGRESSION: Inspired by _Mario Kart’s_ coin system, I’m working on a light progression mechanic that lets you unlock new tracks and power-ups as you race. You’ll start small — and grow your arsenal over time.

EXPERT-FEATURES: Power-ups like the Gatling Gun used to only target opponents ahead. With the new Turn-Around Feature, you can flip 180° and shoot backward — but you’ll have to drive in reverse! It’s tricky but opens up tons of new possibilities.

UI IMPROVEMENTS: The UI is constantly evolving. I’m aiming for a cleaner, more readable, and more cohesive design by release. Feedback is always welcome!


As a solo developer, I rely heavily on your feedback to make Dragon Gate: Tournament the best it can be. If you find bugs, have ideas, or just want to chat, come say hi on the official Luftikus Games Discord.

Thanks for sticking around — and for your patience and support.
See you on the track,
Luftikus Games
