Artix Entertainment, LLC is an independent video game developer and publisher founded by Adam Bohn in October 2002.

Following the end of life of Adobe Flash Player in 2021, Artix developed a standalone launcher for personal computers that includes many of the company's popular Flash-based games, most of which continue to receive content updates.

The gameplay, described as "purely combat" by the developers, allows players to complete quests and battle enemies using a variety of weapons, skills and items.

In addition, there is an in-game currency called Z-tokens that can be purchased with real money and used to buy special items.

Like AdventureQuest, DragonFable is free-to-play with an optional one-time fee for exclusive benefits, referred to as the character gaining a "Dragon Amulet".

Unlike the medieval fantasy-based worlds of AdventureQuest and DragonFable, MechQuest is a science fiction RPG where players pilot giant mechas to fight evil forces invading planets around the galaxy.

The story concluded in 2013 and the game stopped receiving content updates in 2015, though it remains playable in the downloadable Artix launcher.

Other special events include wars, in which players collaborate to defeat enough "waves" of monsters to win the war over several days, and live events with guest stars like Voltaire, One-Eyed Doll, George Lowe, Paul and Storm, Jonathan Coulton, the cast of Ctrl+Alt+Del, Ayi Jihu, ArcAttack, They Might Be Giants, Andrew Huang, Mia J.

[9][10][11][12][13][14] In December 2009, Artix Entertainment opened a public beta for a new science fiction MMORPG, EpicDuel, which they acquired from Epic Inventions LLC, who were developing the game independently.

[16] Players with active AdventureQuest Worlds memberships were able to play an alpha version of the game starting in December 2010.

In 2014, due to a lack of player support, development ceased on HeroSmash but the company pledged to keep the game's servers running at a loss until they could no longer afford to do so.

[23] The in-game concert collaborations continued with rock bands Alice In Chains in November 2019 and Breaking Benjamin in February 2020.

Battle Gems features more than 150 fully animated monsters to fight, more than 450 quests to conquer, and various weapons, armor types, and pets to collect.

[citation needed] AdventureQuest Dragons is Artix Entertainment's second major mobile game developed in collaboration with French programmer "Orteil" who is best known for creating Cookie Clicker.

AQ Dragons features a Founder Status much like Battle Gems which the players can upgrade to by paying a one time fee.

In November 2010, Artix Entertainment published its first novel, The Dragon's Secret, written by AdventureQuest player Lyra Trice Solis.
