Magickness Open Demo Is Live on Steam — Starting a New Chapter of Development

Over nine months ago, Magickness started as an experiment: could a solo developer use AI as part of the development process to build a functional MMORPG in Unreal Engine?

Today, the Magickness Open Demo is live on Steam.

This release represents the end of one phase of development and the beginning of another.

The original Magickness Dev Logs documented the process of building the game's core foundation — multiplayer infrastructure, character creation, combat, progression, abilities, enemy AI, crafting, harvesting, and the systems needed to turn an experiment into a playable online world.

Now that foundation is publicly playable.

I'm starting a new series, Magickness Demo Dev Logs, which will follow development of the live demo as I continue adding content, improving systems, fixing issues, and expanding the world.
