Hall of Fame, stats, and skills are part of ApeScape's progression identity. They matter because they turn dungeon runs, resource gathering, and character growth into visible long-term records instead of disposable session results.
The current Unity runtime does not yet prove a full Hall of Fame or stat-migration implementation, so this page treats those systems as browser-era history plus Unity-forward design intent.
Category context: this page belongs in the gameplay section and should sit alongside Dungeon Floors, Roadmap and Current Project State, and Master Minter and On-Chain Items.
This page explains three different truth states:
The browser prototype used the Hall of Fame as a public recognition layer. The docs describe it as one of the systems worth preserving because it records player identity, progression, and standout moments from the earlier version of ApeScape. Readers coming from Roadmap and Current Project State should treat this page as a system-history and migration reference, not as proof of a finished Unity feature.
Documented leaderboard categories include:
The documented browser-era behavior is straightforward:
That makes the Hall of Fame more than a flavor system. It is part of how ApeScape records who pushed progression furthest in a given stat or activity.
The current docs treat stats and skills as core progression systems that should survive the transition from the browser prototype into the Unity version. The migration target includes:
The browser reference also marks stats and skills as part of the set of systems worth preserving, alongside dungeon maps, loot feed behavior, pets, merchant flows, and economy mechanics. In other words, the Unity port is not supposed to start from a blank-slate character model. It is supposed to keep the strongest progression concepts while replacing the older command-heavy presentation. That continuity is part of why this page should cross-link to Dungeon Floors and Master Minter and On-Chain Items, which describe adjacent progression and permanence systems.
The browser prototype is now a legacy systems reference, not the forward product. That matters for this page because the Hall of Fame is currently best understood as browser-era history plus a migration target.
What is established in the docs:
The executive summary and white paper both say the Unity version should carry forward player stats, enemies, items, pets, Hall of Fame records, and broader progression identity from the browser prototype. The goal is continuity, not a reset.
The roadmap tracker says core gameplay migration has not started in the Unity runtime yet. That means there is not enough proof to claim that Hall of Fame records, full stat progression, or skill systems are already functioning in the current Unity build. This page should therefore describe the system as a preserved legacy concept with a planned Unity migration path.
One stat deserves special treatment on this page: MINTING.
The browser-era docs say MINTING had death-protection relevance:
The same source says Unity still needs to decide how MINTING interacts with the future Master Minter system. Suggested directions include lower legendary resource costs, higher-rarity minting unlocks, stronger metadata traits, or broader item protection behavior.
This is important because it connects ordinary progression systems to ApeScape's future on-chain item layer. MINTING is not just another number on a sheet. It is a bridge between character progression and the planned permanence model for special items described in Master Minter and On-Chain Items.
For players, the key takeaway is simple: ApeScape treats progression as part of world identity. Stats are not just hidden calculations. They shape leaderboards, unlocks, equipment requirements, and recognition.
For editors, the safe wording is also simple:
