About the Developer

Dracanea: The Ragtag Regalia is created, conceived, and developed entirely by Erik Adamo, a proudly non-binary artist and blue-collar worker from Long Island. Erik began developing Dracanea in the late-2010s, aiming to capture the diversity and environment of their home while infusing the game with humor drawn from their background in stand-up comedy. The goal was to make a game for adults with a sense of whimsy, who were tired of choosing between dark and gritty dramas and colorful games with a cast that is half their age.

Development faced multiple bumps in the road, including marriage, surgeries, engine-switching, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Several years after starting over development, Erik was also diagnosed with a rare heart infection which significantly impacted work on Dracanea.

Luckily after a full recovery, they were able to overcome these challenges and brought the game’s final vision to life with one simple hope: that players can just have fun with Dracanea.
