BitCraft: Age of Automata is set to introduce a new paid initiative that allows dedicated fans to support the project through the Support Badge program. This innovative approach offers exclusive perks such as a unique title, Hexite Shards, and guaranteed access to all future playtests.
Exclusive Perks for Dedicated Fans
The Support Badge was officially announced by Clockwork Labs on July 1. The team explained that this program is designed to allow fans to show their support for BitCraft during its early stages. Although the badge is not yet available for purchase, developers have confirmed that it will be released soon.
Purchasing the BitCraft Support Badge grants you several exclusive benefits:
- The “Founder” title in your Vault
- Access to all prerelease tests, including Empires launching on July 8
- 25,000 Hexite Shards at the start of each playtest
- A Supporter Badge card in your account
If you are a fan of sandbox-style MMORPG games like Minecraft and are interested in BitCraft, this is an excellent way to ensure guaranteed access to all future playtests. However, the developers have reassured that free access to playtests will still be available to other enthusiasts.
Ensuring Fair Play
The Founder title is a permanent feature, but the 25,000 Hexite Shards are only granted at the beginning of each playtest and may not continue into the full launch. This ensures that players who do not purchase the Support Badge will not be at a disadvantage during the game’s launch.
The Support Badge program will be available for purchase starting June 2 at 10am CT. To buy the badge, you will need a BitCraft account. Additionally, signing up for an account before the launch will also earn you an Alpha Awakened title.
