Wraiths cast no shadow, they are the shadow! Tailgate demo introduced players to a single foe, the Vilehound. Vilehounds are fast! Wraiths are slow and blind. But they hear you very well. That also means you can herd them to clear the path! #indie #indiegames #adventure #WIP #dog #demo #Tailgate

Honestly, I’m not good with greyboxing, most of the time, I don’t “feel” the level flow when there are no details. I’m not talking about the whole envir art push, but a barrel here, a sign there and yeah, I’m starting to feel the space. #indie #indiegames #level #WIP #unrealengine #dog #Tailgate

It’s still an unbelievable amount of work left to do with this level, but I love how it’s coming together. Changing the sky, color palette and layout approach (more compact and less structured) can do wonders. #ScreenshotSaturday #indie #indiegames #adventure #dog #Tailgate

I’m pretty happy with how settings turned out. Visually they are pretty simple, coherent with game’s UI. UX-wise they may (or may not) be a bit unusual (apply in click, one-button cycle-select-apply). #trailertuesday #demo #UI #dog #indie #indiegame #Tailgate

🇺🇦Dmytro (developing Tailgate, the doggo adventure) @tailgateadventure.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
Settings UI works good. Now a bit of alignment adjustment, fill in all other slots and move on the actual settings backend! I actually thought that it would take much more time (then again, there’s always something else that will!) #indie #indiegames #ui #demo #UnrealEngine #dog #Tailgate
