BitCraft Online News

[p]Hello everyone, we have some exciting news! The Makeship petitions for the two different versions of the BitCraft Owl Pet Plushie are officially live. You can now back your preferred colour, or both! We know from our recent poll that many of you love both options. Responding to your requests for both options, we have decided on a different approach: offering both through a Makeship petition. Please note that each pet owl plush will have its own petition, and each petition requires 200 backers to be fully funded.

Now for the stars of the show the BitCraft Owl Pet Plushies Petitions

[/p][p]Araknir Dungeon,[/p][p]We've heard feedback from the veteran players in BitCraft that they've enjoyed the combat dungeons but so far they have all been too easy for their over-leveled characters. This week hopefully brings a real challenge for those of you who have higher levels and gear. [/p][p]The Araknir cave brings some formidable enemies and spawners which will continue to send out enemies until dealt with. For the boss fight we wanted to air on the side of too difficult to really give the community a challenge to overcome. It boasts some powerful weapons, cool cosmetics and a new pet as rewards so get out there and squash some bugs![/p][p]More Packages,[/p][p]We've added quite a few new package options. I wanted to apologize for this falling through the cracks after it was announced last month. I am looking to make sure stuff like this doesn't happen going forward and I appreciate the community pinging on this to bring it back on our radar.[/p][p]Under the hood changes,[/p][p]We have some larger changes under the hood included in this week's update which are laying the groundwork for some bigger updates in the coming weeks. This should have no noticeable impact, but it's possible it may introduce some issues we didn't catch in testing. Let us know if you find anything specifically around combat actions, interacting with items (eating food, equipping gear) or general interaction logic with things in the world.
[/p][p]Pumpkin heading out soon (for now),[/p][p]Pumpkin will be leaving the shop tomorrow for this year, but will make a reappearance sometime in the future.
