Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. This week, Genfanad stops development, BitCraft explains skill progression, and Mad World celebrates its one-year anniversary. Plenty of other stuff is also going on, so let’s quit wasting time and get started with this week’s Indie MMO Spotlight.
BitCraft
Wondering how skill advancement works in BitCraft? You can find out all the details on the early game skill progression in the video below. And for a full look at BitCraft, be sure to read MMORPG’s April Alpha Impressions piece by Christopher Hutton.
Broken Ranks
This week’s changelog for Patch 7.39 covers the new legendary gear as well as other miscellaneous changes. Need something more than new gear to get you back into Broken Ranks in May?

The Equinox Event Zone will go live on Monday, May 6th. Unfortunately, although Season 8 of Raids was expected to begin on that date, it has been postponed until late May or early June.
Wurm Online
April’s monthly skin is a Companion Bird Hat. I mean, who doesn’t want to have a bird’s nest on their head?
