A Battle Log Meets the Call for an Onchain Demo

After Xai’s announcement, players knew Final Form was expected to enter public beta in December, but had yet to see how a full match would run onchain. Final Form released a development log for its battle system. The log gave players something specific to discuss.

After Xai’s announcement, players knew Final Form was expected to enter public beta in December, but had yet to see how a full match would run onchain. The development team needed to explain its progress on combat while facing requests for playable footage.

Final Form released a development log for its battle system. Some community members discussed how cards might clash; others asked when they could see an actual onchain gameplay demonstration. Moderators recorded those questions separately so the development log would not be mistaken for a promise that the game was already playable.

The log gave players something specific to discuss. Their question shifted from when the game would be playable to how combat would look and how its onchain elements could be seen. The team still had to decide what part of a running match it could show, and no demonstration date had been given.
