Why Still Alpha?

Post by **Royhr** » Tue May 26, 2015 8:19 pm

Ok I'm sort of curious as what determines when and where the TTW mod moves into maybe beta instead of alpha since right now because of the great work the team has done it seems like it is pretty stable, much more than most alpha projects. I know you have your reasons and I'm not asking aggravate anybody. I'm just curious.

As stable and complete as TTW seems, there is still a ways to go to get to 100% complete. As long as they're still adding content it's alpha, once they're done adding content it'll probably go into beta, and once it's been heavily tested enough to be sure they're done it'll go into final product.

At least, that's my guess. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Copypasted from the last time we were asked this:

[quote=TJ]We're not doing a beta. This project will be alpha until it isn't anymore, at which point it's either finished or the devs are finished.[/quote]

What TJ said is right; also alpha's are generally restricted to internal testing, but we are releasing ours to the public. So we are alpha in that we are still making drastic changes to how TTW works, but we are beta in that we have non-contributors testing. If TTW has a beta period it will be short. The main reason for the alpha tag is so that it is clearly stated and understood that it is not in a stable state yet, nothing is guaranteed and that it is the mod creator and the mod users responsibilty to deal with any changes we introduce.
