The World Is
Yours For The
Making

BitCraft is an upcoming Survival Crafting MMORPG which takes place in a procedurally generated sandbox world with a deep skills system and a focus on crafting, economics, cultivating, and city building.

BitCraft is a sandbox game, not only in the sense of an open, editable world, but also in its freeform character progression. Players are not forced to choose a fixed profession or skill set and instead progress their character by practicing whichever skills they like. In addition to practicing crafting, building, farming, and many other skills, players can also become active in their society and contribute to the growth of infrastructure, cities, and empires.

A final release date has not yet been announced, however BitCraft started Pre-Alpha testing as early as 2020. We are now in Closed Alpha testing and will be continuing to run playtests with select users until the next stage of development. Follow us on Discord and Ssocial media for news and updates. A release date has not yet been announced. Follow us on Discord and social media for news and updates.

The first Closed Alpha test will begin on April 2nd, 2024.

The Closed Alpha embodies the first version of BitCraft which we feel represents the core gameplay loop and spirit of what we're trying to achieve. The Alpha is not intended to be a final version of the game or player experience, but instead a scaffold upon which we can build our full vision. The purpose of this phase is to aid in development, but instead of focusing on core systems, it will focus on adding new features, deeper gameplay, and game balancing. For more information, check out our blog post on the topic.

No, as of the start of the Closed Alpha tests, BitCraft will no longer be under NDA. Feel free to stream your experience in the game. We encourage our testers to share their experiences and feedback with the community.

To be selected as a Closed Alpha tester you must create an account. You can sign up to be selected here! We'll be providing updates via email and Discord. Keep an eye out in your email inbox of a Closed Alpha invite!

The Alpha Hub is the place to register your account for BitCraft Alpha testing. The Hub is also the place where we will provide active community members with access to Closed Alpha playtests, in-game rewards, and community rewards. After the end of the Alpha phase, this will become your BitCraft account where you can access and manage the in-game rewards you've unlocked.

Yes, the world of BitCraft an editable sandbox and you can build anywhere you'd like.

The plan is to release BitCraft cross platform with initial focus on PC.

We are still in the process of optimizing the game for a wide range of hardware, but rest assured that we aim to be potato friendly. We will provide more information on system requirements as we get closer to the release date.

In BitCraft, you'll awaken as a mystical being in the midst of an untamed wilderness. While at first you'll struggle to survive, you can eventually work together with other players to build an entirely new civilization up out of the wilderness. As you construct buildings and explore new areas, the world of BitCraft will reveal a deep and ancient past. Yours is not the first civilization to build here. The ancient ruins, artifacts, and mysterious travelers you'll encounter hidden away across the landscape hint at a fading power and history ready to be rediscovered.

The BitCraft client is developed using the Unity game engine. For the server, we have developed a sophisticated distributed system called SpacetimeDB, which hosts the entirety of BitCraft’s server architecture. We feel that SpacetimeDB offers a stepchange reduction in the complexity of developing persistent world MMORPGs and we hope that it will open up an entirely new genre of indie developer massively multiplayer games.
