DRAGO Entertainment

DRAGO Entertainment is an independent Polish video game developer and publisher based in Kraków. Founded in 1998 by Lucjan Mikociak and Adam Mikociak following their departure from TopWare Poland, the studio develops games for PC and consoles, with a particular focus on first-person simulation, management and story-driven survival experiences.

Its early business centered on external contracting and development for international publishers. Work from this period included the helicopter combat simulation Vulture, the tactical action game Cold Zero: The Last Stand and the economic simulation Oil Tycoon 2. The studio subsequently spent several years developing online role-playing projects, including Otherland, based on the novels of Tad Williams, and the post-apocalyptic project Grimlands.

Original simulation and survival games

In 2018, DRAGO adopted a strategy focused on developing and self-publishing original intellectual property. Treasure Hunter Simulator, released that December, marked the beginning of this shift. Its later release, Gas Station Simulator, became the studio’s breakout commercial success after launching on Steam in September 2021. The game combines first-person tasks with the management and renovation of a roadside business, and its continued development has included multiple downloadable expansions.

The studio’s portfolio also includes Food Truck Simulator, a culinary management simulation, and Winter Survival, a wilderness survival game. Its researched development portfolio extends to roadside hospitality and transport-related simulations through projects such as Roadhouse Simulator, Airport Contraband and Road Diner Simulator.

Development and publishing

DRAGO’s capabilities span game design, programming, 3D art and audio engineering, using Unreal Engine and Unity. Alongside development, the company undertakes publishing and co-publishing, quality assurance, player testing and community management. Its work continues beyond initial release through maintenance, live operations and downloadable content production.

The company’s current model combines development of its own simulation and survival properties with publishing activity for external developers. It remains an independent public company, operating from its Kraków development studio and serving PC and console audiences.
