When Night Crypto Fan starts a playtest, the first thing he does is turn on the radio. The station is Midnight Radio, and it plays inside the game he is building. He described the setup during the third episode of the station’s Tune In. Chill. Vibe. Connect. X Space, where he said the prototype is still private.
Midnight Radio already has a home in Midnight City, where residents can add a radio to their virtual rooms and tune in to channel 104. The episode offered a look at how community members are bringing the same stream into projects of their own.
A Workout App and a Request From a Card Room
The radio team said ScottishKing listens to the station through a workout app he built. The team did not name the app or say whether it was available to others.
A separate project approached the station about adding the stream to a virtual lounge where visitors could sit down and play cards. The team welcomed the request. The episode gave no update on whether the stream had been added to the lounge, while Night Crypto Fan described hearing it play during his own tests.
What Fits Between Two Songs
A question about a joke involving lab rats led the team to explain how it fills the short gaps between tracks. The clips, known as sweepers, include jokes, station IDs, and greetings recorded by listeners. The team produces some in-house and accepts submissions through the station’s website or Discord.
Some recordings came in at around a minute. The team said that was too long for a transition and suggested roughly 15 to 20 seconds. A listener can use that time to introduce themselves and identify the station before the next track starts. The team is also preparing another batch of its own station IDs.

How the Station Works With Community Creators
The team invited people building in the Midnight ecosystem to get in touch if they wanted their projects listed on the radio site. It also takes requests for educational videos. One existing video explains what the Nightforce leadership role involves for Bravo-level ambassadors considering that step.
For the radio team, the episode brought two different requests into the same conversation. Holly wanted to know how to send in a short recording for the broadcast. The card room’s creators wanted to bring that broadcast into a space of their own. In Night Crypto Fan’s private prototype, the station is already part of the playtest routine.
