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.

Broken Ranks

Update 7.44 is still slated to be released by the end of the month. The update focuses on Archer balancing and changes to the loot system.

City of Titans

AmiEvil posted a new video this week showing off some combat functionality testing.

Corepunk

Corepunk has updated their website. The updated link can be found above. And you might as well watch the Early Access trailer to get pumped up for the November 26th EA release.

Dragon and Home

Update 2.10.0.0 is now live. The update includes the Blazing Desert 2.0 Main Quest and a bunch of other desert goodies.

Drakantos

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.

Ember Sword

Ember Sword’s new content creators have been chosen. Be sure to follow them for your Ember Sword fix.

Ethyrial: Echoes of Yore

Patch 3.4.0 is now live on Steam. The patch notes are uploaded yet, but you can view them on the Ethyrial Discord.

Fractured Online

Fractured Online’s free-to-play transition is set for Wednesday, November 20th.

Monsters & Memories

M&M will be holding a Stress Test on November 30th. The test will start at 1pm ET, and will run for a maximum of four hours.

Nightingale

A new update has been pushed to the PTR branch. The update includes a Boss rush, new weapons, and player-hosted servers.

Once Human

Once Human is holding a new event called Mountain Mayhem: Capture the Thrill. From now through November 21st, players can launch their vehicle from any of the ramps in the game, with the players with the longest airtime winning prizes. Good luck!

Prosperous Universe

Michi has been working on gateways for a while now. In Development Log #459, he covers the three upgradeable parameters of gateways.

Ravendawn

Regional background music is coming to Ravendawn. You can get a sneakpeak of the OST in the video below.

Realm of the Mad God

You have until November 20th to enjoy a 1.5x loot and EXP boost in the following dungeons: Lost Halls, Cultist Hideout, The Void, The Nest, Fungal Cavern, Crystal Cavern, Spectral Penitentiary, and Kogbold Steamworks.

Scars of Honor

In case you missed it, you can watch the Open Stress Test Livestream.

Star Sonata 2 will have a Universe Reset on December 7th
