Minecraft-like BitCraft launches $20 badge that basically acts like an all-access pass

Just in time for the Empires Alpha.

BitCraft: Age of Automata is getting a paid program that lets super fans support the fledgling project with a Support Badge, which then comes with perks like a unique title, Hexite Shards, and guaranteed access to all future playtests.

The new paid Support Badge was first revealed by Clockwork Labs on July 1 on X (formerly Twitter), where the team stated these Support Badges were a way for fans to support BitCraft in its earliest stages. While the badge isn’t available to buy just yet, the developers confirmed it would be coming soon.

Purchasing the BitCraft Support Badge for $20 gets you the “Founder” title in your Vault. You can also access all prerelease tests, like Empires, launching on July 8. You’re given 25,000 Hexite Shards at the start of each playtest to use to grow and defend your empire, and a shiny Supporter Badge card in your account to boot.

If you are interested in this game, which is similar to Minecraft and other sandbox-style MMORPG titles, this is one way to get guaranteed access to all future playtests. But don’t worry; the devs will continue providing free access to future playtests for other enthusiasts. Purchasing this Supporter Badge simply guarantees access.

The packaged Founder title will last in perpetuity, but the 2,500 Hexite will only be granted at the beginning of each playtest; it’s unlikely that will continue into any full launch. So, if you were concerned about diving in at launch only to be immediately sieged by people who purchased this badge, you don’t have to worry.

The Support Badge incentive will be available for purchase from June 2 at 10am CT. To buy this badge, you’ll need a BitCraft account. Signing up for any account pre-launch also gets you a snazzy Alpha Awakened title.
