Reverted character creation resources to the official version; this test was conducted using official version resources.

The Exclusive Pass to ScarQuest Pre-Alpha Testing – Where the Community Shapes the Game’s First Chapters!

We carefully selected a group of dedicated members who participated in this special opportunity.

The goal of Pre-Alpha was to:

Test the feasibility and balance design of the core game loop (battle, mining, and building).
Assess the stability of the system builds.
Collect early suggestions and feedback.

MetaMask and on-chain integration were not required to focus on testing the game itself.

Issues that still existed but hadn’t been fixed in Pre-Alpha were:

Optimization of the English and Chinese tutorials and UI text.
The pillaged resources displayed in the combat score screen UI differed from the combat log. The score screen animation also needed improvement.
Awkward team formations in the combat record.
Issues that appeared when energy was almost spent.
The resolution setting jumped to the lowest resolution.
Increase the impact of being pillaged by other players.

To aid alpha testers, we provided them with the following resources (they were almost unlimited):
