Magicbane is an emulator for the long dead but much beloved Ubisoft MMO, Shadowbane. The project was founded in 2013 with the concept of free availability of gameplay; players unencumbered by any factor other than a desire to again play a game they once loved. A game where the developers do not play is guaranteed to be the fairest game.

The Magicbane Team has wanted to open source Shadowbane for half a decade. We are excited to now finally have the opportunity, along with some new technology, to truly democratize Shadowbane.

Written in some 80k lines of Java 8 and bash.
Project with real infrastructure; Production and development servers supporting multiple containerized apps.
MagicBox container technology enables instant deployment and trouble free development on modest hardware.
MagicBox plugin capability allows for new and interesting player experiences.
