This week we've kicked off a major backend rebuild for Stormbane, switching over to C++ with the Drogon web framework. Why? Because we want all our core technology to speak the same language—from game client to server backend. Drogon is lightweight, incredibly fast, and easy to work with—perfect for powering real-time systems.
While this might not sound thrilling to the average adventurer, it's a big step for us under the hood. This change will help fuel our event engine, faction warfare systems, and dynamic world data, giving players a faster, more reactive game experience.
More updates soon!
