Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. This week, Foxhole is finally going 1.0, Chimeraland gets a new fairy evolution, and players finally get a chance to try out the updated world map for Gloria Victis. There’s plenty of other stuff going on as well, so let’s quit wasting time and get started with this week’s Indie MMO Spotlight.
BitCraft
We get a look at some of the BitCraft wildlife in this week’s Twitter vignette. Does this mean we will have full-on animal taming or just select creatures available as mounts?

Book of Travels
Might & Delight announced a live AMA chat on their YouTube channel would be held on September 13, 4pm EST. In the meantime, take a look at Tech Blog 16, then check out this amazing map of the Braided Shore.
Braided Shore. Home of the Traveller and the Asken folk. The lands to the east are blocked by cliffs and an ancient wall and remains unexplored. Braided Shore itself is a fertile land characterized by its many waterways, islands and rugged shorelines. #WorldbuildingWednesday pic.twitter.com/DU8nhotYKY

Gloria Victis
The world map update is coming on Tuesday, September 13th, but the team wanted to give players a chance to check out all the changes (and hunt for bugs). 100 keys to the public test were given out on GV Discord, and even if you didn’t get to participate, you can find the changelog there as well.
