ScrapRoad Pre-Alpha
Released
Pre-Alpha Playtest Content
This post will serve as a baseline for all further updates regarding the ScrapRoad environment.
ScrapRoad is a game about open-world decision making, looting, and progression. We provide tools to facilitate roleplay such as trade, or give you the option to go full-bandit. We want there to be freedom of choice and to provide the baseline system for you to apply your own strategies and creativity. With that being said, the game in its current state is still bare-bones hence the pre-alpha nomenclature.
As it exists currently, the game provides a stable economy and loot system for you to engage with. It is challenging to aquire high-tier components and weapons which is intended, but once the late-game arrives there is potential for very large scrap high-scores. This can either be game-breaking or functional, depending on how harsh the lose-all-scrap-and-inventory mechanic is in testing (note that modules in a module slot are never lost). Passive income machines can be sabotaged and disassembled which provides balance to the long-term economy, resulting in significant losses if heavily invested in a machine's module system. Again, hard to tell without intensive multiplayer testing.
