Four years. That's how long it's been since we wrote the first line of code for what would become Clash of Adventurers. In December 2021, we started with nothing — no world, no characters, no combat. Just a dream of building an MMORPG from scratch. Today, we have a full-featured game with combat, classes, quests, crafting, gathering, a living world, and dedicated servers. We can hardly believe how far we've come.
The early days (2021–2022) were about proving the concept. We built Steam authentication, character creation, inventory, and the first combat system with melee and magic. Monsters appeared, leveling worked, and equipment changed your appearance. By August 2022, we had a tiny but functional MMORPG.
After a long pause to rethink our direction, we came back in late 2023 with a complete engine upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.3, brand new character models, a dynamic weather system, and WASD controls. The project was reborn. In 2024, we built Ciliora Island, added monster loot, overhauled the character visual system, and then the big moment arrived: in September 2024, the project was officially renamed to Clash of Adventurers. With the new name came magic and archer skills, shields, a complete UI redesign, and a proper gold economy.
The second half of 2024 brought the party system, NPC dialog, Ciliora Village, and a full chat overhaul. In 2025, we introduced the class system (Warriors, Mages, Archers), NPC trading, a massive gear expansion, the jewelry system, and — perhaps most importantly — the quest system that gave your adventures real purpose. Crafting and gathering followed in December 2025.
Now, in early 2026, we've shipped Linux dedicated servers and the Crafting System v2 with professions, ingredient tiers, lootable chests, destructible mining nodes, and an in-game wiki. The game has never been deeper, more polished, or more fun to play.
None of this would be possible without you — our community. Whether you've been following since the early days or just found us recently, your support, feedback, and enthusiasm are what keep us going. Check out the full development timeline on our devlog page, and come hang out with us on Discord. The adventure is just beginning, and we can't wait to share what's next. Thank you for being part of this journey.
