they went on to say the current build is more like a Mid-Beta, with significant bugs to fix, but is continuing to grow. The Avatar Builder has its own steps and can be rolled out independently, prior to the rest of the game. Of course, each of these stages has its own individual steps, depending on what function it is. Green Dots are “Next Step”, elements that are still in the early part of development, or need something else before they can move forward. Blue Dots are “In Progress”, and are the next parts of the game being worked on. The completed (White Dots) is ready for testing and are functional. This is also being used to track the progress of individual components of the game, that might get released separately (such as the Avatar Builder). This ranges from early Beta, where the bugs are rampant and highly disruptive, to late Beta, when the game has nearly reached a launchable state.The exact location of the line between Beta and release has become a matter of the studio’s tastes, preferences, and need to pay the repo man.Ĭity of Titans is using a graphic chart to highlight what is ready for testing and what still needs work, which you can see above. Beta, on the other hand, means that all major systems are in place but are unfinished or plagued by major bugs. There are gaps in the foundation, parts of the game that have not even been implemented.
Missing Worlds Media offered these development phases mean for them, so there is clarification.Īlpha means that not all major systems are up and running yet. This is especially true in an era when many games spend months or longer in the “Open Beta” phase. Developers have a varied and sometimes confusing definition of what an Alpha or Beta is.
City of Titans from Missing Worlds Media is a Superhero MMO that is presently in development.
