In order for large-scale cooperation to develop, players need a way to cooperate with other people without needing to trust each other. Specialization can also drive the creation of vibrant economies. Cooperation also makes it more rewarding for players to spend most of their time on a single skill since they’ll be able to utilize other players’ skills through cooperation to reach the high level game content more quickly. Specialization will drive player collaboration, because specialization requires with different skill sets to cooperate to get things done. If you want to lead a city be sure to brush up on your social skills." - 3Blave However, if you plan to become a successful merchant you probably just need to be good with numbers. Becoming a true master of your craft will definitely take a while. The actual amount will depend on your playstyle. We, of course, focus on designing content to be fun, new, and interesting, but there is some grind. It's one of the key things that distinguishes it from a game like Minecraft. "BitCraft is designed around creating long-term progression for players. In the BitCraft discord, a question regarding how "grindy" the progression will be was answered by a Developer.ĭoes the game have a heavy level of grinding? This means that your average player will only be deeply skilled in 1 or 2 different skills since there’s only so much time they can devote to the game and it’s more rewarding to be highly skilled in at least 1 area. very long-term progression also strongly encourages specialization because for most people it’s impractical to progress every skill to the max simultaneously. this kind of per-skill long-term progression is critical to designing a game world which is resilient to “coolness inflation”. Clockwork Labs is designing each skill to have potentially years of content. It’s about building relationships and knowledge of the game world as you skill your character. The gameplay is very much about the journey. BitCraft is not a game which only starts once you reach max level.

Clockwork Labs want players to be rewarded for just doing the thing that they like doing with relevant experience as they do them. And just like real-world skills, you get better at them as you practice them. Skills in BitCraft are designed to map pretty closely to real-world skills. Importantly, no single skill is necessarily given a higher status than any other. In BitCraft, rather than having a combat-centric overall level, the characters have a set of skills each with their own level. The way BitCraft is being designed makes it so the sidelined systems that are not dealing with combat in other MMORPGs are made into "first class citizens" in BitCraft, and are the stars of the game. However, this is not the only way to design an MMO. of course for a combat centered MMO, this makes perfect sense. You do more damage or attack faster if you level up a certain skill or set of gear. In many MMORPGs, leveling and progression are closely related to combat.
