BitCraft Concludes Its Final Pre-Alpha Test And Shares Plans For The Near Future
Clockwork Labs has just concluded its tenth and last pre-alpha test for BitCraft and the studio is taking advantage of the downtime to share their plans for the well-funded sandbox MMORPG. In the near future, fans can expect the start of closed alpha testing, the introduction of “civilization gameplay” for a true MMORPG experience, the addition of music and sound effects, other general improvements, and migration to a new server infrastructure.
“This test was our largest and most ambitious test to-date, and we can say with confidence that we are excited to be moving to our new server infrastructure,” said Clockwork. “It quickly became apparent that we had outgrown our old systems, and needed plenty of room to grow!”
“Many of our rudimentary systems are being completely overhauled to reach a state we believe is deserving of the ‘Massively Multiplayer’ part of MMORPG,” the studio added. “[…] Our game designers had a good look at how well game mechanics and social systems supported interactions between players and how well the game loop retained our players’ interest. This is important to us, because we believe that designing a MMORPG is more than just developing art for people to enjoy over an afternoon, but should create a holistic experience for players to immerse themselves in to warrant investing their time and energy.”
Clockwork has yet to announce a solid date or window for the upcoming closed alpha tests, but they assured fans that it’s coming. “We are on our way out of Pre-Alpha and hurtling toward Closed Alpha,” they concluded.
