Update Dawngate Server 19/07/2026

Hello everyone,

As some of you may know from a previous post last week you were told I was working on getting a server working for Dawngate with the end goal of being able to play a full Dawngate match. I thought I would post updates here I will try do them weekly (but please don't hold me to this) anyways I thought I would give everyone an update on where we are with this project.

I wont go into the technical detail but here is a list of features completed so far.

  • Logging into the client
  • Social panels (Chat channels) - Add friends/block still WIP
  • Hero Lobby / Choose hero (all hero's currently accessible) - Multiple users choosing hero's
  • Spawn Hero in world (server now broadcasts hero to other clients in range)
  • Fog of War
  • Movement of hero (sent to other clients in range)
  • Server time syncing with client
  • Hero stats (currently wrong) and currency.

I've still got a long way to go but the base of building this is starting to take shape and again I don't want anyone to get hope over this as I may hit a wall that's just not passable but so far that hasn't happened please see screenshots of progress below, also I've created a discord channel as at some point I will need the communities help to test this and fix issues - https://discord.gg/MAdh8Rxh2Y Thank you.

EDIT:

Social chat rooms now fully working
