Dragon’s Gate Design Studio (DGDS) was founded on the belief that games have the power to unite people. Co-Founders Donavin and Guillermo first crossed paths years ago, bonding over their shared passions for anime, video games, board games, and TCGs. Their dream of creating their own game simmered in the background as they pursued separate paths, but in 2023, Donavin took the leap to start a game studio while Guillermo worked on a Trading Card Game (TCG). When they reunited in 2024, the idea to combine their efforts and launch DGDS became clear.
“Games are a way of bringing people together, allowing us to engage in friendly competition and shared experiences that transcend borders and cultures.”

Currently, our focus is on bringing our TCG, Hero Tactics, to life by early 2025. We are diligently fine-tuning gameplay, optimizing scalability, and streamlining costs in preparation for our first funding round in August 2024. But TCGs aren’t our sole focus—we’re also hard at work on an epic board game and a smaller one-shot board game, catering to a diverse range of gaming preferences.
Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or new to the world of tabletop gaming, we invite you to join us on this exciting journey. Whether virtually, in spirit, or in person, we look forward to sharing our passion for gaming with you. Together, let’s embark on an adventure filled with fun, creativity, and camaraderie.
Come, join us virtually, in spirits, or literally. We look forward to this journey.
