About this game
Swordia Game Engine is more than a game... It’s a fully flexible 2D game engine and multiplayer framework designed for creators. Inspired by classic pixel-art RPGs and online worlds, Swordia Game Engine exists as a live example of how any kind of 2D game can be built, iterated, and expanded in real time.
Play it as an adventure.
Study it as a system.
Help shape it as a creator.
Whether you're a game developer, designer, artist, or curious tinkerer, Swordia gives you a real, running 2D game to explore — showing how combat systems, progression, networking, UI, world simulation, and content pipelines come together in practice.
Built With the Community
Swordia Game Engine is developed openly by a small independent team. Community feedback directly influences engine features, gameplay systems, tools, and workflow design. Players help test mechanics. Developers help discuss architecture. Artists help shape visual direction.
As Swordia Game Engine evolves, so does the framework and games it runs behind it.

Clarification: Hosting Servers is FREE
We wanted to put a reminder that hosting your own Swordia game(s) or server(s) is 100% free. Simple visit https://afflictionid.com/servers or click "Host your Own Server" on the launcher.We also updated all the lingo to further reflect this so no future misunderstandings happen. We look forward to the communities creations! Also as another note we pushed an engine update yesterday with the following changes: We released a critical security fix for the Server SDK. This is to fix a vulnerability that crashes servers when used. Due to the nature of this, if you are a pre-existing server you will need to UPDATE in order to boot your server up! Copy all contents of the following folders from your previous installation to the new installation and overwrite so you lose no data:resourcesusercontent folder... You will need the NEW userContent/client_strings.json file though from your new installation to fix issues.All servers running the old version will be de-authenticated in 30 mins.

Swordia Transitions to not just an MMO Game
Greetings Swordians,Affliction Networks have been hard at work on creating not just an MMO but an engine that is free for anyone to create their games on! You can now create your own games thru the Swordia engine. Swordia as an MMO will be transitioning more to a demo game that will still be maintained and updated just like the engine. You can now use the engine to create your very own games with no coding knowledge required! Create entire games with minimal coding knowledge! And for the developers who fancy coding we also have an SDK for that too! With the SDK you can code completely custom client and server mods that automatically deploy when a player chooses your game! The full array of assets from Swordia are also fully available to you as a developer. Customize literally everything with the easy of just changing a JSON file and much more! Join our Discord for help and assistance and get 24/7 community support on creating the game of your dreams!We look forward to everyone's amazing games!Affliction Networks LLC.Read full article on Community Announcements (Hammer)AnnouncementsOfficial
