The next updates for Winter Curse will now be in the Beta phase! While the download will still say demo, it will really be a beta.

You know, you don't have to edit the quest project title to reflect on what version it is. The demo (demo refers to a game that's not complete, so demo is still correct) says what version it is, so you can just call the project "Winter's Curse", without the version number.

I also want to say that I will start to begin work on the 2nd dungeon!

I don't see a problem with how he did the title.

 

Kivitoe, I might try to find the time to beta test your quest again. I'll be sure to give a thorough bug report and some criticism.

Ok. I don't mind the criticism, I know that's only to help.

Actually, Beta phase represents something that is essentially complete, but needs bug-testing.
 
If it's incomplete, particularly to a large extent, is Alpha phase. You can call anything a demo, from Pre-Alpha, to a final product; but ~25% complete is never a Beta.

Software phases aren't very ambiguous. </Sarcasm>

Ok, then Alpha.

I guess that you didn't read that blog link, or at least, not all of it.

'In the brave new world of web 2.0, the alpha and beta designations don't mean quite the same things they used to. Perhaps the most troubling trend is the perpetual beta. So many websites stay in perpetual beta, it's almost become a running joke. GMail, for example, is still in beta after over four years!'

 

Alpha is technically correct, but no-one cares in the post-modern Internet era, or follows the old industry standards, except us old buggers. Really, it's worth a read though.
