![]() ![]() In any case, rant aside, I am wary of any game where the author says that it is 'alpha' let alone 'pre-alpha'. Beta stage usually is the longest and lasts all the way until launch. Renders are overall pretty well done - you will still occasionally face some scenes that seem unintentionally odd / creepy / cringy (yeah, I'm aware the last one is supposed to be a grimace - still. Usually enough for a level or two and bug-free enough to welcome public testing either by 'closed beta' or 'open beta' tests. Fortunately Primal Instinct gets better after you survive the initial onslaught of creepiness. The memories of that short summer will remain with you forever. Moving along, 'beta' and I guess you could say 'pre-beta' but even that is more like 'alpha', is when you have a fair bit of content designed and implemented. The country is in turmoil and you have left the Capital to spend the summer with those closest to you. Moving forward, 'alpha' meant that it was still 'in-house' only and, while the game is still very raw and in development, at least the concept has been nailed down and the focus has moved on to implementation rather than design review. There are mockups, model designs and at most a few 3D renderings or level designs but that's about it. For anyone unaware of what F95zone is, its a website that host free/pirated games from/by indie devs, mostly NSFW games. I'll use the classic 'old timer' saying here, "back in my day." Well, back in my day, 'pre-alpha' meant that a program was still ~90% in the conceptual phase. People these days don't grasp the difference between alpha, beta and launch versions. ![]()
