This week in MMO crowdfunding news, Hero’s Song launched into early access on Steam, allowing anyone with 20 bucks into the alpha test phase. There’s a launch party in San Diego next week for anyone local who wants to celebrate with Smed!

Meanwhile, Camelot Unchained spoke about its hiring efforts and graphical improvements, AdventureQuest 3D unveiled its November Reign patch, Dogma: Eternal Night teased a big announcement, Shroud of the Avatar tackled player concerns and previewed Midras and town sieges, Project Gorgon raised a third of its Indiegogo goal to date, and Albion Online teased its next big update, dubbed Faye.

Finally, if you want to live in a universe where Donald Trump isn’t going to be president, try Ascent: The Space Game, where this week candidate Hubes defeated “Donald Trumpet” and several other aspirants to the colonial presidency governing the game’s playerbase.
