So, please, from now on, stop calling these demos out there, pre-aplha footage, or alpha footages. It is intended to give a vision to the final user to the product that we are going to deliver. This is caled a demo, short for demonstration. With a beta version is possible to you deliver a controled limited build of a section of the software. It may happen a few bugs and have some placeholder stuffs, but in beta we can have a good idea of what the software may be. The beta is when you give form to the software, where you test a full working build outside the sandbox. When everything is set in alpha, all the fixes and tests were made, we start the beta. it is not a working software per se, it is just a project inside the engine running in a sandbox. This time the software is buggy as hell, you have a log console where you can check error messages and adress some notes on what is working and what is not. When the Pre-alpha is done, we pack everything and start testing it in the virtual space, an engine or through hardcoding (Pascal where good, simple times). dmg there is nothing that could be called a software yet. Pre-alpha stage have no code-like writen no working. Pre-alpha stage is where all the brainstorming happen, where you put down the ideas on paper on how it going to work and how it will be made, etc. Since when I started in IT School in 2005 I learned every stage of making a software this didn't change since now.
