- Latest TADO News - 9 May 2025
Greetings Adventurers and welcome to the latest happenings in TADO. Throughout April there were quite a few significant updates to TADO, more content, some game mechanic updates along with some performance improvements. We’ve gone through every melee animation in the game (and with having so many different weapon types, there’s a lot of different melee animations!) and improved the impact ‘feel’ of strikes. This has made every swing that lands a lot more weighty, and different to those which fly wide of their targets; something quite important in a game like TADO with action combat. Its difficult to show off 'feel' in a small clip, but attacks feel a lot more physical and that you're hitting something, rather than through something. We've also been careful not to overdo it and make swings feel to rigid and non-responsive. For content, two new dungeon areas were opened on Star Island, gi…
- TADO News - 10 March 2025
Greetings Adventurers, and welcome to the latest TADO news. It’s been a little quiet around here lately, and today’s patch notes aren’t the longest or most interesting, but they are very much a necessity. Whilst we continue to brew the next content update launching later this month, we’ve spent a good amount of time working on improving performance. With this build players should find they have significantly improved load times, memory usage and, depending on hardware, shorter render times. This should have the effect of putting less load on strong systems whilst also significantly reducing the minimum viable requirements. Not a great deal has changed in dungeons but when moving to any of the large open world areas, people with even the highest specs should notice a significant improvement and for those with more modest hardware a much more significant reduction in load times. There’s a…
- Two Years of TADO! - 25 January 2025
Welcome brave Adventurers to the grand celebration of TADO’s second anniversary! It is with immense pride that we can reflect on the incredible journey we've all shared over the past two years. From the moment you all first stepped into this vibrant world, you have embarked on epic quests, formed unbreakable alliances, etched your names into the annals of our realm and experienced a host of bizarre, fun, and sometimes not so fun..., unintended experiences – I’m thinking of you ‘Wolf Day’ which saw everyone who summoned a wolf… summoning 300 wolves…. Your dedication and passion have been the driving forces behind our labours and continued development. Each battle fought, every puzzle solved, and all the friendships forged, we are honoured to have been part of your adventures and are endlessly grateful for the support you have shown us. To mark this occasion, over the next week, starting…
- Happy Holidays Adventurers! - 25 December 2024
Greetings Adventurers! To celebrate the holiday season presents have once again been laid under the tree in Genmire for all adventurers be you naughty or nice. They will be there until the new year. A big thank you all again for the support this last year and we look forward to seeing you next year. Take care Adventurers! Monty
- Holiday Updates and Latest TADO News - 20 December 2024
Greetings Adventurers! Much has been happening in TADO since last we spoke so there's quite a bit to get through. Before going into details here's a quick update on the events currently live in game. With the Steam Autumn sale we had a quest running to allow new characters to gain a unique cosmetic item set, we've decided to keep this running throughout the Winter Sale and upto the new year, so there's still time! Mr Claws has also been seen once again around the world with sightings in Genmire Isle, The Ice Kingdom and Star Island stealing the presents of the locals. With an updated loot table this year including a variety of drops of all qualities and tiers we've also added some rarer items like Restful Herbs for unlearning so good luck recovering those presents! Keep an eye out for announcements of Mr Claws arrival in the events channel in game. As a thank you for all the people who…
- Halloween in TADO - 23 October 2024
Greetings Adventurers! The latest build of TADO is quite a large one focused on significant technical updates and removing some long standing issues which, whilst not usually hugely problematic to most players, lots of people will have encountered throughout their time in TADO. We will also see the return of the Halloween event which will run from the 23rd of October to the 8th of November and includes a variety of new and returning rewards from last year. Technology updates A game the size of TADO can take a long time to produce, many years, and the longer it takes the older some of the core technology used inevitably ends up being. One of the full launch milestones we have includes uplifting the technology TADO relies on to the most modern versions and leveraging the advantages of those newer technologies. A large amount of work has gone into this, bringing significant performance and…
- TADO News and Updates - 16 September 2024
Greetings Adventurers, there’s been quite a bit going on in TADO the last couple of months with the introduction of some new high level activities; a high level group focused event in Star Island and the raining of high end Star-Metal meteors upon the lands accompanied by some tricky elementals that only the strongest of adventurers would dare meet alone. But aside from the ongoing march of new content, we’ve also added in a long-requested mechanism for more mass reallocating your hard earnt skill points. In TADO there are a number of ways to gain character power, at first much of this comes from the skill points you earn and spend when levelling, these allow you to equip the current (and regularly expanding) 130+ ability gems that can be found across the various continents, some via discovery, some via drops and some found in the various town stores across the lands. Increasing your sk…
- Latest Updates and TADO News - 10 June 2024
Greetings Adventurers, too long has it been since we last spoke! It’s been a busy time in TADO these past weeks, with the launch of Star Island and several updates to it since, including a plethora of new monsters, items and equipment and with a whole host of new skills, events and quests on the horizon a lot is going on. We have however ended up pushing back some of our roadmap items. One of the long term requests we’ve had in TADO is to increase up the amount of spawned enemies in the world and whilst developing Star Island we significantly improved the technology controlling the monsters to the point where we could have much greater mob densities. With it though we’ve had to continue to put quite a bit of time into further optimising the server’s performance in handling all these monsters which has ended up taking somewhat longer than we’d like. In the longer run we’d like to go thro…
- The Stars are aligning. - 26 March 2024
Greetings Adventurers, it’s been too long since the last time we spoke so it seems like a good time to dive into what’s currently going on in TADO. Firstly, lets do the not so good news. With the launch of Star Island rapidly approaching updates to the current game have slowed down more than we’d intended. We had plans for a couple more minor updates following the Demonology launch last month but knowing many people were much more interested in the new content, we decided to put a brake on the roadmap items for March and redirect all our efforts into getting Star Island out the door. This means unfortunately when you first land on the shores of Star Island you won’t be doing so with the new hair styles and character customisations; though they shouldn’t be too far behind! Onto the better news, Star Island itself. Whilst we’re not going to drop the exact date here, we’re now in the ‘week…
- We went on (further) down that road - 2 February 2024
Well we’re still working away on the next large content drop known as the Secrets of Star Island which adds the majority of the remaining main quest, a new landmass, new top tier mobs, crafting and equipment. We are saying Q1 at the moment, but its going to be late Q1 with a possibility of slipping into Q2. There’s a lot of parts here and will be the biggest single content drop since TADO launched. Unlike with the Ice Kingdom, where we added the zone, monsters and some new drops with the quest line and crafting coming later, we want Star Island to be much more complete on launch and won’t be putting it out until there’s more to do than just exploration and grinding. We have a few things carried over from last year where we didn’t land them when expected with other content being prioritised in places. This list also isn't exhausted, there will be more events, dungeons, unique items and c…
- One Year of TADO - 27 January 2024
Greetings Adventurers! Well that’s flown by and TADO has grown a huge amount over these past months with the addition of more dungeons, land masses, quests, ways to customise your items, abilities and well more everything really. We launched a dungeon only last week which presents the pinnacle of the Ice Kingdom and gave an opportunity to throw in some interesting and powerful new weapons before we move on into the Secrets of Star Island. That doesn’t mean its over for the Ice Kingdom, every zone will have reasons for end game players to visit beyond those areas you encounter during the main quest so don't expect to stay out of the snow forever! To celebrate any adventurer who logs in and visits the Kami in Genmire is rewarded a title (oh we added titles too last year!) and a cosmetic cape which will only be available for the next week. We’ve also added 50% more TADO tokens with every t…
- Happy Holidays - 24 December 2023
Happy Holidays Adventurers! What a year it has been for TADO, we’d just like to take this opportunity to thank all our current and previous players who have spent time in the Adventurer’s Domain this year. Anyone who logs in now until the New Year will be able to find a set of four presents under the tree in Genmire. There’s also rumours of an old gentleman robbing the good people of Northshore and Genmire of their own presents, when announced you’ll find him running around the with a big bag of loot. Thanks again to all our players, its has been a pleasure and we look forward to next year and all the continued adventures we have planned!
- The Quest Continues - 21 December 2023
Greetings Adventurers! In this update we finally move the world story into the Ice Kingdom, with the addition of a large number of quests taking players around our largest zone and leading the main story up to where Star Island, the next major content update, begins. Along with the main quests, we've also added various side quests to various key locations around the Ice Kingdom. Genmire has started to get seasonal with some decorations going up in preparation for the winter event starting soon. Players who log in from the 25th of December until the new year will be able to collect presents in Genmire and also potentially grab extra gifts from Mr Claws as he flies around the lands. Patch Notes Added the Ice Kingdom World Story Quest Chain. Added side quests to key locations around the Ice Kingdom. Controls We've reworked nearly all the controller interactions. A xbox or PS5 controller, a…
- Something Spooky this Halloween - 20 October 2023
Greetings Adventurers! The land is in peril, the Hallowed Knight and his pumpkin army have begun attacking the towns of Genmire and Northshore and brave adventurers are required to send him back to the void which spawned him! Over the next couple of weeks Adventurers can take part in seasonal events at Genmire and Northshore. These events, along with normal level appropriate item drops, also reward a seasonal currency candies. If the Hallowed Knight is successfully defeated a great bonfire will be lit in the defended town which you can use like a crafting station to create a variety of cosmetic items using the candies you have collected. Adventurers who defeat the Hallowed Knight will also be awarded an achievement which (when selectable titles come online soon) unlocks access to a title. The following rewards are available. Reins of the Hallowed Knight – For those of you who want to ri…
- Willenburg Evacuation! - 10 September 2023
Greeting's Adventurers! The people of Willenburg haven't had a good time as you'll have noticed from their destroyed city, cosmic horrors and general ill state of its civilians. That said, the Willenburg Engineer's have arrived and need your help getting the survivors clear via their technological marvels which are capable of reaching into the sky! A new event has been added and a larger adventure zone expanding the Willenburg area. The event provides good rewards for adventurer's brave enough to help and for a high level party also offers the opportunity to spawn a new group boss for magic equipment and new cosmetics. Along with this new event there's been a major pass of most melee abilities making sure some of those bigger swings feel like bigger swings, and 15 new skills added to the game. We've also tried to make melee combat feel a little less stamina throttled and moved some abil…

- We went on down that road - 7 August 2023
Adventurers! The following is a roadmap, or list of priorities on what’s being developed as we move through Early Access. Its something we've reworked a lot of times since our Early Access launch and have kept holding it back and reworking it in an attempt to not disappoint as timelines change. With that said, we've extracted some of the things people regularly ask us about and tried to pin down when over the next several months individual things are targeted to land, Its not exhaustive, there’s a lot of systems in game already which we will continue to be expanding upon, polishing and deploying the regular updates we've been doing since the Early Access launch. The chances are we won’t land exactly in the order shown, some things will move around, some things will occur which will require different prioritisation. We also have some content developed which currently doesn't have a sched…
