8BitMMO News

A little more than a year ago, we launched on Steam Early Access. I'm excited to now transition to full release!

Based on user feedback, I've added during that time:

• Music from chiptune legends Danimal Cannon, Zef, PROTODOME, and Honin Myo Audio
  
• Many new buildables, including household goods and many new kinds of blocks
  
• Laser Turrets
  
• New weapons, like the Hammer or Laser Rifle
  
• Achievements & Trading Cards
  
• The Oven, to allow for transforming items into other items
  
• New user interface, including improved inventory, quest window, and build tools that more clearly indicate what build mode you're in
  
• Localization into Japanese, German, and Spanish
  
• Performance enhancements
  
• An all new megamap to handle the massive size of the world -- a player-built space now larger than the combined landmass of the United Kingdom.
  
• Pocket Universes, your own private universe to build in without having to find a spot on one of the main maps
  
• Pocket Townstones to allow players to start a town with only gold
  
• Containers - store objects in a box with various permission levels
  
• Seasonal events, like CalcMMO or the Easter Egg Hunt
  
• Mac & Linux builds
  
• Transponders, a whole new PvE/PvP game mode that rewards smart base building. Can you survive the attack?
  
• And many other smaller updates
  

Thanks for being part of the community! I couldn't have done it without you :)

After months of development and testing, the Transponder system is now available to all players to try on Primary server!

Transponders let you build & defend a base from an invading horde of monsters (and other players). You'll receive gold & EXP for participating in a match, and an even larger amount if you win the match.

To get started, build a base layout in your pocket that protects the transponder. Note mobs WILL destroy blocks when the transponder is activated! More advanced construction blocks will have higher defensive HP, so plan accordingly. The attacking force scales to your character's level, so it should be a challenge regardless of if you're a new player or an old one.

Once you're happy with your pocket fortress, use the Transponder to summon an invading force. If you want to fight against another player, you can ask them to use the new CombatPad in root at the same time.

At the end of the match, all participants will be given gold & exp based on how the match goes. If you want to instantly rebuild any lost blocks, type /restorelist

I'm very honored that we were selected to win 'Best Technological Game' at Sense of Wonder Night 2014 at Tokyo Game Show. Check out photos and video of the trip.


8BitMMO is an awesome indie construction sandbox game, but it's not free to develop and run. That's why every year we do a fundraiser / sale to help raise money for servers and development.

Support development and get great rewards. In addition to the usual gold & platinum you get from purchases, there are some great rewards -- including at least 25% bonus gold+plat (possibly up to 100% if we hit our goal).Other rewards include early access to The Transponder, Seconary Pocket Universe, 2k Blocks, and even your very own custom block.

Please consider supporting development and server hosting! Thank you :)




You can now play the game in English, Japanese (needs improvement, we're working on it! ;)), or Goggles Translate Mode (for fun). Or even translate the game to your own language if you like: Details...
