- Dev Diary | A Hundred Easter Eggs and One Alpaca - 22 October 2025
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 an…

- Dev Diary | Scenes No One Asked For - 17 October 2025
When we were developing Dreamout, we didn’t really set any limits for ourselves. If an idea popped up - no matter how weird - we didn’t try to justify it or fit it into the concept. We just made it. Both of us were huge Evangelion fans, so at some point we decided: we’re not just going to reference it - we’re going to recreate an entire scene from the ending. In the game, it’s just a tiny side quest that lasts maybe two minutes. But it took us more than two weeks to make it happen: we had to draw unique assets, design the setting, code the whole sequence, and somehow explain why the player suddenly ends up standing in front of a giant head staring right at them. That Evangelion-inspired scene wasn’t the only one that got out of hand. There’s also a mini shoot ’em up section - another small, two-minute quest that took us weeks to finish. We basically had to make a game inside the game: c…

- The Story of Dreamout: How It All Began - 15 October 2025
Let me start from the end. Dreamout was born during Ludum Dare 48 - a tiny jam game with barely any mechanics, clumsy controls, and a rather boring gameplay loop. And yet, even in that rough little prototype, there was already something - a mix of awkward charm, warmth, and a dreamy melancholy that would later become the heart of the project. That’s what it looked like back then. I used to take part in many jams, but right before Ludum Dare 47 I met an artist - not only talented, but someone I could work with almost wordlessly. We instantly clicked, made our first jam project together, and realized: we want to make games together - not just for jams, but for real. Here’s what that first project looked like. When Ludum Dare 48 came around, we already had some experience and knew what to expect. That’s how Dreamout came to life - a story about a drunk but adorable alpaca wandering through…
