Magickness™ has officially launched on Kickstarter!
After nearly a year of active development, DomTech Gaming, LLC is taking the next major step toward bringing its discovery-driven fantasy MMORPG to life.
What began as an ambitious experiment has evolved into a playable online world with character progression, combat, magical abilities, multiplayer infrastructure, and three distinct distribution pipelines.
Now, we're inviting players and supporters to help us advance from the Open Demo toward Alpha production.
Our Kickstarter campaign is live with a $60,000 funding goal to support the next 15 months of development.

Almost a Year of Development
Building an MMORPG is an enormous undertaking, particularly for an independent studio operating with a solo-development structure.
Rather than beginning with promises of an expansive finished world, DomTech Gaming has concentrated on establishing functional gameplay systems, multiplayer infrastructure, and playable builds.
Over the past year, development has produced:
- Character creation, customization, and progression systems.
- Combat mechanics, enemy AI, and evolving Magick abilities.
- Character statistics, skill levels, and ability progression.
- Equipment systems, including emerging Weapon Memory mechanics.
- Morality mechanics that introduce consequences for player decisions.
- Multiplayer foundations and online gameplay.
- An Open Demo distributed through three separate pipelines.
These systems represent the foundation of Magickness, not the completion of its long-term vision.
The objective now is to build upon that foundation with additional content, refinement, and interconnected gameplay systems.
Three Distribution Pipelines — One Connected Vision
One of our most significant technical milestones has been establishing three distinct ways to distribute and experience Magickness:
1. Steam
The Open Demo is available through Steam, providing a familiar PC distribution channel.
2. Standalone Windows PC
A direct-download Windows build provides an independent distribution pipeline outside Steam.
3. Android APK
A dedicated Android distribution pipeline extends access to mobile players.
Developing these pipelines has been an important part of establishing the technical foundation for a cross-platform MMORPG.
Players can explore the current Open Demo through our official website:
Curiosity Is Part of the Gameplay
At the heart of Magickness is a simple design philosophy:
Magic should feel discovered, not just selected.
Traditional MMORPG progression often revolves around predefined classes and fixed ability paths.
Magickness is being designed around experimentation, exploration, and the gradual discovery of magical potential.
Players begin with relatively simple capabilities and develop their characters through gameplay, uncovering new techniques and opportunities as they progress.
The goal is to make curiosity rewarding.
Exploring unfamiliar environments, experimenting with combat approaches, and pursuing new challenges should offer meaningful opportunities to discover abilities, acquire loot, and expand a character's capabilities.
Progression should feel like uncovering the possibilities of the world rather than simply completing a checklist.
This philosophy also extends to equipment.
Our recent Demo Dev Log #02 introduced Weapon Memory progression, allowing weapons to accumulate experience through successful attacks.
It's another step toward making a character's journey feel shaped by actual gameplay.

An MMORPG That Respects Solo Players
Massively multiplayer worlds offer something special: the possibility of sharing an evolving environment with other people.
But enjoying an MMORPG shouldn't require belonging to a permanent group.
Magickness is being designed to support players who prefer to explore, progress, and discover the world independently while preserving the benefits of a connected community.
Our long-term direction is to make solo progression viable without diminishing the value of cooperation, social interaction, and shared experiences.
Whether players prefer independent exploration or community-driven adventures, the world should provide meaningful opportunities for both.
Solo-friendly gameplay and a rewarding multiplayer experience are complementary design goals, not competing ones.
Why Kickstarter? Why Now?
After nearly a year of building the game's foundations, our next challenge is expanding those systems into a more substantial Alpha experience.
The Kickstarter campaign seeks $60,000 to support a 15-month Alpha production cycle.
This funding is intended to advance:
- Gameplay development: Expanding and refining combat, Magick, and character progression.
- World development: Building additional explorable environments and playable content.
- Equipment and progression: Deepening the systems that make discovery and character growth meaningful.
- Technical infrastructure: Supporting continued multiplayer development, testing, and optimization.
- Production resources: Providing the development tools, assets, and operational support necessary for the next phase.
Importantly, this campaign is not a promise to complete the entire MMORPG in 15 months.
It is a defined production milestone intended to move Magickness from its current Open Demo foundation toward a more developed Alpha.
Be Part of What Comes Next
Magickness is already more than a concept.
Its gameplay foundations exist. Its multiplayer systems are in development. Its Open Demo is available across Steam, standalone Windows PC, and Android APK.
The next step is expanding what players can discover.
Our Kickstarter offers several digital reward tiers, including Alpha Access, founder rewards, and opportunities to become part of the game's development history.
Whether you choose to back the campaign, explore the demo, or share the project with other MMORPG enthusiasts, your interest helps us continue building awareness around Magickness.
