Pride Month & Trailer Information
(Written June 6th 2026)

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!

To start off, HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! As someone who is part of the LGBTQIA+ Community, i would like to say that the DRAGGED Development team is committed to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community, and will continue to support the community!

Now to get started with the actual part of the article, I’d like to say that I am a bit overwhelmed by how many hours I’m spending doing the art/music and coding for DRAGGED every so often. I often feel burnt out to the point of staring at my monitor blankly just hoping something works. But you want to know why the Gameplay Trailer keeps getting delayed, don’t you?

“WHY IS IT GETTING DELAYED AGAIN AND AGAIN?”

Look, I want to see the trailer finished as much as you. I’m working 8+ hours a day on this game when I have free time. But I’m not the greatest programmer, and as such, I’m also learning as I go, and also my code is essentially holding the framework of the game together with duct tape and kids glue. To put it bluntly, the build is very “unfinished.” Showing the build off now would be like showing off a painting that’s half finished, and expecting it to be seen as a finished product.

BUT please stay with me now and PUT DOWN YOUR PITCHFORKS as once I actually DO get a good build done, I will showcase it. And I’ve also commissioned an artist to make the art that will be used for DRAGGED’s Steam Page and future website art. I cannot wait to see how it turns out when it’s finished. Of course you’ll get to see it when the trailer is done and the Steam page is live but It will be cool.

Now final thing here, I cannot now promise a “set date” on a trailer since I’m also overwhelmed with my own other challenges outside of DRAGGED. I will be working on the game when I have free time for longer (and try not to get more sleep deprived.) I know it’s been 3 entire months since the announcement trailer but I have not mentioned this. I started DRAGGED’s development in Godot in Mid December 2025, so that’s also why it’s taking a bit to get a trailer done, as it’s still in it’s baby steps.

OTHER NEWS

I mentioned that I would show some images of areas in DRAGGED leading up to the trailer, but since there is no set date right now, I can share a bunch of things I wanted to showcase. Also if you’re curious, draggedgame.com/chapter1 now works, but instead of showing the actual webpage, I see an eye constantly staring at me with some weird language on it. I’ll try to fix it later.

First up is this Stage area. Wait, you fight in a stage room? And the symbols all around are all for decorations, I think..? Hm.. *flips script* Oh I can’t say their name yet due to spoilers, well have this image anyway I’m sure the press won’t mind the accidental early 11 AM showcase.

Have you ever heard of the Serpentz? Well probably not but they are an “elite” gang within the Fragmented World so to speak. Let’s just say their egos are way to high. They are ruthless people who will most likely to beat you up if you touch their leader. Can’t say much without getting my own ass kicked but you will see a certain green friend being jumped by them.

Something else I’d like to mention is some of the posts that have been appearing on the DRAGGED Twitter without warning. Now I’m unsure myself but I did find this old (and ruined) language sheet that should help with anyone willing to translate whatever the hell those posts mean since I’m too busy working on the actual game. I got this paper from some shady guy in a back alley since I was concerned on what the posts meant unless it was just garbage gibberish. I’ll let you be the judge of that.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

This information was meant to be revealed in the Gameplay Trailer but I’ve been holding all this in and do need to express this but DRAGGED: Chapter 1 will be FREE, while Chapter 2 and beyond will be a one-time payment of $15. I tried to keep the price LOW as possible, while also being affordable to most people, while also giving me some sort of income that can help fund future chapters. Chapter 1’s scale is incredibly small compared to the scope of Chapter 2, so the funding would help a lot.

Now with all of that heck of a lot information out the way, I shall now return to my computer and stop writing this blog post and continue working my 8 hour shift smashing my head against my keyboard until the Battle System stops crashing the game. Also to remove the Backstage

See you when the trailer drops and Happy Pride Month!
