Brazil Game Show appearance and October 2024 public test

Scars of Honor is presented as preparing for a public showcase at Brazil Game Show, with the studio attending in person and bringing a substantially updated build. The event is described as the project's largest public event appearance up to that point.

The next public test is announced for 26 October 2024. A previously expected September test is said to be delayed in order to allow more time for polish and broader improvements.

Brazil Game Show presence

The Brazil Game Show booth is shown with a medieval-fantasy presentation intended to match the game's tone. Its visual design uses elements derived from in-game human architecture, including wall textures, and is framed as a deliberate hint toward what attendees will be able to try.

The event build is described as significantly different from earlier tests. The update emphasizes that the game shown there is not meant to resemble the older public versions closely, and that the most substantial changes are intended to be experienced directly at the event.

Public test timing

The next public test is scheduled for 26 October 2024. The delay from September is attributed to ongoing work on art, technology, movement, combat-related presentation, and general polish.

The stated goal is to release a version that better reflects the intended quality level rather than pushing out an earlier but less refined build.

PTR policy

The studio also outlines a change to PTR handling. Rather than continuously updating PTR with every ongoing internal change, the PTR is said to remain on the latest public-test version.

Feedback and bug reports from that public version are still intended to be collected and addressed, but development effort is described as being concentrated on the next major build. Systems that are being heavily reworked, including combat, are indicated as less likely to receive incremental PTR-focused attention during that period.
