feature complete

[ouion]

If Ksp finish is alpha stage will it go to feature complete means no feature will be added in the beta version and just bug fixes.it will happen or not.

Not quite sure what you mean, but I don't think a games complete until alpha and beta testing are done anyway?

Still time for them to add loads of stuff yet..

[alline1999]

well i hope it will happen if they finished it.

but i think personaly they will becuas latly mutch developers satred doing such things look at minecraft .

the game is compleat now it isnt in alfa or beta anymore.

but they are still adding things to the game .

and i personaly think if they did stop adding things after a while you wont play it anymore becuas youv done so many things.

mods ofcours would help you playing it longer .

I sicnerely doubt KSP will ever be entirely feature-complete. Much like Minecraft, which is still adding new features with every update even though they're well beyond the Beta stage.

I think they'll declare Beta state when KSP is simply highly unlikely to crash and is compatible with most operating systems natively. Or not, I guess it is after all up to the developers. The thing with games like this, though, is that they don't have a set list of things they want in the game -- it changes all the time, meaning they're always adding new things and planning even more for the future.

It's only crashed a couple of times for me, less than several 'fully-complete' games have, so it's stable enough by my reckoning. Could use a bit more content though I suppose.

i have only crashed once on my "experimental" computer made for crisis 2 graphics, also i have ran a 16 person minecraft server and played at the same time, but even then the game engine in ksp takes my computer and and makes it seem like the computer is weaker than it is in this version of KSP, so i dont know...

Theres still a lot of bugs that need ironing out though. And well before 'release' it will need to have a lot of efficiency coding done. So enjoy the ride!

[ouion]

it means all the features will be complete in alpha stage then in beta,it will be all bug fixes.

[ouion]

i think what version will be in beta

0.29:final alpha version.price of ksp increase

0.30:first beta release.more planets and docking fully added

0.30.1.bug fixes

0.31:heat shield added,reentry flames added

0.33:massive bug fixes.

I think HarvestR said once (Can't remember when off the top of my head) that he doesn't like the terms "Alpha Stage" and "Beta Stage", and that he will continue adding new content until either he can't support his employees, or when he thinks there is nothing else to add that will benefit the game as a whole. Squad has an entire GROUP of people fixing bugs every update, so I don't think he will even need an entire development stage just to fix bugs.
