Race model and visual updates for the next test

Scars of Honor's next public test is described as featuring major visual upgrades across playable races. The recording presents these changes as a broad art uplift rather than isolated touch-ups.

New race models

The game is said to be moving to brand-new models for each race shown in the upcoming test content. These are described as substantial upgrades over the versions seen in earlier public tests.

The visual improvement is framed as affecting the whole game, with race presentation singled out as one of the most noticeable areas of progress.

Confirmed and likely races for the next test

The captions identify several races as confirmed for the next public test:

• Human
• Undead
• Inferno Demon
• Dwarf

Grunt and High Elf are described as likely additions, but not fully guaranteed at the time of the recording. Orc is mentioned as another possible later addition.

Undead redesign

Undead are described as one of the races that received the largest quality uplift. The new version is said to look dramatically better than the version used in the previous public test.

The recording treats undead as a standout beneficiary of the new art pass.

Dwarves and Barons

Dwarves are confirmed for the next public test and are described positively based on their new model quality.

The Baron race is singled out as a personal favorite in the discussion because of its revised silhouette and overall presence. The new Baron is described as large, strong, muscular, and imposing, in contrast to an older version whose silhouette is said to have looked too soft or rounded.

Orc visual direction

The intended orc direction is described as being inspired by the larger, more brutal style associated with The Hobbit films and similar fantasy references. The preferred look is explicitly not slim; the goal is a heavy, intimidating orc silhouette.

Paid cosmetic races as lower priority

Some races or variants associated with shop or microtransaction plans are described as lower priority during current development. The stated priority is to finish and improve the core game before focusing on monetized race-related content.

This places cosmetic-related race work behind the main visual overhaul for the core playable roster.
