Hey everyone, Kalab here. I wanted to take a moment to update you all on the current state of Otherworld II and where the project is headed.

Otherworld II has been in active development for a little over 11 days as of this post. Despite the short time frame, a lot has already been accomplished. The core MMO system is fully functional including player movement syncing, login and registration - and a real-time chat system with emotes and filters plus Questing and a Saving Inventory System. 

I’ve also implemented a clan system on the server side, with plans to finish the Godot integration soon. The game features working terrain with water shaders, region transitions, and a movement system inspired by early World of Warcraft. We’ve even got full documents detailing features and plans we have for the game, which feels ever-growing.

What’s currently in progress is the PvE and PvP combat system, UI elements like health and EXP bars, and dungeon instancing logic. Once that’s done, the plan is to begin internal closed testing followed by a soft public beta.

If everything goes smoothly, the earliest public build could drop between August 25 and September 13, 2025.
At the very latest, I’m aiming for a full launch around November 1, 2025.

I’ve also been reaching out to more Godot developers, 3D Artists and 2D Texture Artists to join the project. If you’re interested in working on an indie MMO with a growing community, or if you know someone who might be, feel free to reach out via our Discord Community: https://discord.gg/KqRwRWJxdJ

Thank you to everyone who’s played the first Otherworld or added OW2 to their collection. Your support is what makes this possible.
