Guest The Doodling Astronaut Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 So in the latest videos, footage has still shown “pre alpha” Maybe someone can explain this to me, but this sounds like this is a bad thing. So I’m curious if anyone who has developement experience knows why it’s still showing “pre alpha” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdwlrd Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 The assets shown look to be artist previews. I would have to guess they have something in a alpha state from some of the little game clips they have shown in the past. Nate has even mentioned at some point that some of the different qualities seen in the in game clips shown are from different builds of the game. They are probably working on optimizations for the physics, adding assets and effects now. The game will probably be in beta sometime soon. (Not like they will tell us if they were.)

The Aziz Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) First, we do not know if the footage was recorder this month or half a year ago. Second, it's all depending on developer. It could enter alpha state whenever they feel like (I assume, when it's fully playable but not quite refined yet), a beta when it's feature complete and all that's left is polishing the product. Now, take a look at predecessor. KSP 1 was in alpha from 2011 to 2015, and everything in that period was playable in one way or another (but we're talking about entirely different release model) and yet they were still adding content. We really know nothing. Think about it: the devs only recently announced that they're looking for part maker, it could mean that they're still adding more stuff to the game, even if it maybe has all the planned features ready. We'll see tomorrow, it's friday after all. Edited October 28, 2021 by The Aziz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Spoiler See those tiny scratches preceding the alpha? It's an aspiration mark, it shows how much excited are the gamers awaiting for the game release, how much unevenly do they breathe saying "Alpha release!"
