Our Weekly update is now live! 30/01/2026

We are excited to confirm that a long-awaited roadmap feature is now in development: Player Owned Housing!

Players will soon be able to own and customize a home away from home using items found, crafted, or earned in-game!

Housing will not be purely cosmetic either it will offer real gameplay benefits 🎮

🏠 Housing Basics

• Houses available across the city in various sizes & price points

• Purchased with standard in-game currency (Gold/Silver) or Premium Currency (Merchant Marks)

🔨 Furnishing & Build Mode

• Core materials: Planks, Nails, Cloth / Hide
• Build Mode lets you preview items before committing resources
• Move, rotate, scale, and finalize when ready
• Save unfinished layouts and complete them later

We will share more about the functional benefits of housing in next weeks development update!

🚀 2026 Kickoff Dev Update – Setbacks, Progress & Momentum Ahead!

First, a big infrastructure change we want to openly share:

Since late 2024, we have invested alot of time integrating Beam’s SDK across our login, wallet, sphere marketplace, and staking systems, all intended for Open Alpha.

Recently, Beam announced a strategic shift away from gaming, meaning their SDK + Sphere Marketplace are no longer supported as of January 2026.

This forces us to pause all Beam-dependent features.

What this means:
• Open Alpha remains our #1 priority
• Core gameplay & content are not affected
• Some Web3 functionality won’t ship Day 1
• We are actively reviewing long-term infrastructure alternatives

While frustrating, we are genuinely thankful this happened before Open Alpha. Releasing our game on an unsupported backend tech would have caused far larger issues down the line.

Now, onto what we have been working on! 💪

Despite backend challenges, the team has been making strong progress across gameplay, content, and social systems.

🪵 New Profession: Carpentry

We are excited to introduce Carpentry! A new profession deeply integrated into Combat and Blacksmithing.

Crafting is now more immersive: wooden components no longer magically appear. Want to craft a pickaxe? You’ll now need to:
→ Gather logs
→ Process them at a Sawmill
→ Craft wooden components

As you level, higher-tier timber unlocks better recipes which adds meaningful progression and depth to the crafting ecosystem.

Alongside this, we have continued work on:
• Player-to-player trading
• Voice chat + Discord SDK integration
• Final MTX system polish
• Network testing across multiplayer features

⚙️Now, the not-so-fun technical battle

Our AWS servers began crashing instantly on boot even on empty builds.

After days of investigation, we discovered Unity 6.3 now hard-requires glibc 2.35, while Amazon Linux 2023 only supports glibc 2.34, breaking GameLift compatibility with zero warning.

Rather than roll back and delay the inevitable, we are migrating to GameLift containers, giving us full control over our Linux environment and permanently solving this class of issues.

A painful fix - but a long-term win for Domi Online!

Despite a bumpy start to 2026, momentum is building fast.

Thank you for sticking with us - weekly dev updates resume next week ❤️

Who’s ready for the next Domi playtest?

[DomiOnline @DomiOnline]

The next Domi Online playtest is almost here – and it’s our most refined one yet!

We have made huge strides since the last test: improved NPC culling, memory optimizations, stronger server stability, new profession recipes, deeper combat, and greater challenges.

Let’s dive in:

🌎 Explore the Mainland:
A vast world awaits, filled with danger and discovery.

🏰 Stannfyr Capital – the bustling heart of Domi
🐦 Saint’s Rest – a sanctuary for weary travelers
🌊 Leviathan’s Reach – where the seas claim the bold 🏔️ Vyorkur Mountains – harsh peaks shrouded in mist

…and much more to uncover in the September playtest!

🩸Enemy Combat Improvements

Our foes grow smarter and deadlier.

Higher-tier enemies show increased aggression, chase with improved pathing, and scale more fiercely as you climb. Prepare to face the challenge! 🐉

⚔️No combat or profession restrictions:
Unlimited levels. Unlimited skills. Unlimited professions. See how far you can go before death finds you!

🚀No level cap, No skill cap :
This playtest serves as a proof of concept for our no level cap, no skill cap design philosophy.

📜Help shape the game:
Experience Domi Online in its most complete form yet, and share your feedback to polish it for Open Alpha.

⚙️Reporting issues:
Join our Discord forums to report bugs/exploits (duplicates checked). Your reports = a smoother world for everyone!

We can’t wait to welcome back veterans and see new adventurers step into Domi Online!

🔺 Introducing Meaningful Mint Thursday x Koator

This Thursday, we rally once again for a Meaningful Mint with a real purpose.

🚗 Meet Elora.
Born with a severe disability, she relies entirely on her wheelchair for mobility. But without a wheelchair-accessible van, every trip—whether for therapy, medical visits, or even simple family outings—becomes an exhausting challenge for her and her parents.

@PFoxNL & Sandra, her devoted parents, have already made huge sacrifices to adapt their home for her needs. But affording a van on their own is out of reach.

That’s where we come in.

This initiative is a collaborative effort between Joepegs and @cookoutclubxyz to give back to the community.

Together, we can help give Elora the mobility and comfort she deserves.

Mint Details:
📅 Launch: Thursday, March 6th, 6 PM UTC
🗂 Collection: ERC-1155 Open Edition
⏳ Mint Duration: 7 days
🏷 Price: 0.15 $AVAX
🔺 100% of funds go directly toward purchasing the van.

The Avalanche community has always stepped up for one another. Let’s do it again.

Mint for mobility. Mint for family. Mint for Elora.

Another epic weekly update has arrived!

This time, an update directly from our Lead Deverloper David ⚔️

"I thought it’s time to give you an update of where we are at instead of our usual mini weekly updates. But first some company news!" - David E

We have a new developer that has joined the networking team! He is currently learning the ropes and has already contributed his first bit of work. We are hoping he will help speed up the networking development as it been our biggest roadblock in terms of output.

In addition we have also increased the size of our QA team. They are currently activity playing an updated build and are providing lots of good feedback and bugs reports.

We are working efficiently in implement feedback from the prior playtest, to make the next one final before Open Alpha release!

Here is an overview of what has been achieved since public playtest:

1. Updated chat system with direct messages, resizable window, friends’ improvements and emoji support.

2. Dramatic balancing change to make weapons and armour feel more impactful

3. Added some mitigations to safe spotting

4. Synced loot so now you can steel other players drops if they are too slow picking it up

5. More detailed world to explore and conquer

6. Our WebSocket’s system that we use to talk to the server has been made much more efficient and more reliable

7. Lots and lots of bug fixes. Our bug fix list is so long it does not fit into a single social post!

8. Integration of the Beam SDK.

Here is what we are currently prioritising:

1. Improvement to enemy pathfinding

2. Better player animations

3. Player ease of onboarding

4. Networking improvements

We still have some other AI related issues, animation issues and some networking bugs which our team are tackling as we speak.

We are aiming to do the final playtest in the coming months, so be prepared!

- David E, Lead Developer

[DomiOnline @DomiOnline]

Player Housing:

The streets of Stannfyr have drastically improved since the previous public playtest.

Player housing will provide you with a place to call your own, a sanctuary in the heart of the city!

How will you shape your homestead?

What adventures await within your walls!

[DomiOnline @DomiOnline]

Character spotlight: Warrior

Hailing from the freezing lands of Vyorkur Island, the Warriors are the strongest melee force in Domi!

As true masters of axes and swords, Warriors never show mercy on the battlefield and live by a single rule - kill or be killed.

And now, after the two great houses divided into three - Tatakh, Dhotta and Ranos!

Each and every Warrior is forced to take a side and choose their own destiny.

Be it in the whole harsh world of Domi, or between their own kin.
