Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. This week, Dragon and Home gets an update, BitCraft begins its Closed Alpha 3, and Corepunk refreshes its website ahead of Early Access. 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
BitCraft entered Closed Alpha 3 on Tuesday. Anyone with a key is able to join in on the fun. A devstream on Tuesday covered the changes to the game, followed by a Q&A session.

It’s been a while since we had a new addition to the IMS, so I am happy I found Drakantos during a visit to MOP. Drakantos looks to be a free-to-play pixel art MMORPG from developer Wingeon Games Studios. You can find Drakantos on Steam.
