Howling Cloud Games

Second Calamity is made by Howling Cloud Games, an independent studio.

How it started

I got my start on a small private server for an online game. Designing bosses and watching players work through the trials and tribulations of learning each fight was the best part. After that, I was determined to make a game people could share, and one I'd want to play myself.

What we're making

We wanted an MMORPG with endless builds and progression that keeps growing over time. Reaching the endgame shouldn't mean you're finished.

Who we are

This team was built through a shared vision of what's possible. We're spread from Europe to North America, with backgrounds in both technology and the arts. Some of us bring decades of experience, and some of us are new. Everyone works on Second Calamity part time.
