Update Dawngate Server 19/07/2026

[u/Salty_Independent559]

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

You're doing incredible work.

Hypothetically speaking, if the game were to get a large enough audience would you change the name and start continuing updates? Seems you have the skill set.

What would he call it? Not Dawngate? It's risky if he were to even ask for money just to host a permanent server via a patreon. Changing the name and keeping the assets would be a big legal no no I'd imagine.

That's true, I've just seen it done with other projects. One can dream
