Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. This week, my good buddy Mitch is taking some well deserved time off, so our Indie coverage may be a little lighter than usual. But don’t worry, between a PvP update from Broken Ranks and a heaping dose of VFX from Profane there’s plenty of stuff going on, so let’s quit wasting time and get started with this week’s Indie MMO Spotlight.
This week, BitCraft Twitter teases a little bit about metallurgy with a picture of the smelter. “For Science!” They say. You be the judge.

Embers Adrift
Embers Adrift released their final patch of the year earlier this week. The patch is full of bug fixes, design changes, and the team has outlined a host of known issues for players who may not know whether what they’re experiencing is being tracked by the developers. Read more about the update in the official patch notes.
Ember Sword has been showing off some of the enemies and bosses on their official twitter account. You’ll definitely want to check out the art and learn a little more about each of them, as the game is headed into Alpha testing in 2023.
Of the cutthroats preying on the country folk, none are more wretched than Martish Gulkadore. An Underboss of the Broken Teeth crime syndicate, Martesh oversees a nefarious plot that could greatly shift the political landscape of Solarwood. #embersword pic.twitter.com/Rz4p2dsuL6

Wondering what Mad World is up to lately? Well the team has been busy, but not just with the game’s development, they’ve recently took to their forums to answer a number of questions from the community, including the sad news that they wouldn’t be able to hold their December launch date. Luckily, development will continue, and there are many more questions answered over on the official website.
Profane has been on our radar for a while on the Indie MMO Spotlight, and that’s because the team has been putting out a lot of developmental teasers over the past year. Check out the latest VFX teaser from the development team.
