Version 3.6.0 Beta Released


Beta Playtest Center

The new center was verified from Home in English and German. Assertions covered:

  • five structured coverage checks;
  • save verification and persisted completion state;
  • direct Journal, save, report and email actions;
  • low-height desktop modal containment;
  • internal scrolling and zero horizontal document overflow at 320×720;
  • locally generated checklist context without gameplay effects.

Enhanced technical reports

  • Report format is now koc-playtest-report-v2.
  • Category, severity, observed result, expected result and reproduction steps are captured.
  • Beta checklist context is included.
  • Full save data and typed chat content remain excluded.
  • Download filenames identify Version 3.6.0 Beta.

Preserved gameplay and migration coverage

The complete 3.5.5 safety suite was repeated:

  • all 145 narrative quests can reach completion;
  • all 76 bilingual scenes remain valid;
  • the reward ledger contains exactly one entry for each completed narrative quest;
  • repeated synchronization does not duplicate currency or materials;
  • damaged completed quest state is repaired without repeated payout;
  • Narrative Data Versions 0, 2, 3 and 4 migrate idempotently to Version 5;
  • Save Schema 34 and the historical browser key remain unchanged.

Responsive matrix

All 27 main routes were rendered at:

  • 1920×1080
  • 1366×768
  • 1180×650
  • 390×844
  • 320×720

This produced 135 route/viewport combinations. Assertions covered nonempty content, horizontal document overflow, duplicate DOM IDs and visible unnamed buttons. Journal and World were also checked at 130% Interface Scale.

Assets and syntax

  • 19 local asset references resolved.
  • 18 raster files decoded successfully.
  • 7 SVG files parsed successfully.
  • data.jsnarrative.jsplaytest.js and game.js passed Node syntax validation.

External manual gates

The following remain external targets rather than automated claims:

  • Firefox desktop;
  • Safari desktop;
  • Safari on iPhone and iPad;
  • Chrome on Android;
  • itch.io embedded versus fullscreen behaviour;
  • browser audio policies;
  • a multi-hour human progression run.
