BitCraft Online is a massively multiplayer online sandbox game developed and published by Clockwork Laboratories, Inc. The game entered Early Access in June 2025 and is noted for its community-focused persistent world, survival crafting mechanics, and player-driven economy.
Gameplay
BitCraft Online combines elements of survival, crafting, exploration, and social collaboration within a single, shared world. Players begin as a character in an untamed wilderness and can pursue a variety of playstyles, including gathering resources, crafting tools and items, farming, hunting, city building, trading, and long-term character progression through skills and professions. The world is fully editable, allowing players to shape terrain, erect structures, and establish settlements which can grow into cities and empires over time.
World and Progression
The game takes place in a single procedurally generated world shared by all players, encouraging cooperation and social interaction. Characters do not follow fixed classes; instead, progression is driven by player-chosen skills and activities. A free trade economy allows players to barter and set prices for goods, fostering an evolving marketplace.

BitCraft Online was developed by Clockwork Laboratories, an independent studio based in San Francisco, California. The game underwent public playtests for multiple years prior to its Early Access release on Steam. Clockwork Labs has emphasized community involvement in development, incorporating player feedback into design and updates. The backend uses a distributed server architecture to support its persistent shared world and scalable multiplayer experience. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
