RiftForged is engineered from the metal up. We do not use commercial pre-built engines. The game runs on a 100% custom C++ and DirectX 11 engine designed specifically for massive multiplayer loads. Featuring proprietary server-authoritative netcode and distributed physics, RiftForged guarantees that if a strike connects on your screen, it registers on the server.
The Latest
RiftForged is almost ready for open alpha technical tests.
I have rebuilt the system one last time, completely modularly with data-driven design.
I have also built a world editor, and the beginning alpha tutorial zone.
Progression is live, but there will be two tests. One, a tech demonstration for you to try to break my engine.
The second test will have live progression, and the beginnings of the pre-release world.

I am bringing server-authoritative synchronization back. Join me.
