February 21, 201312 yr I'm under the impression that Bethesda's term for their alphas is "final release". L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
February 21, 201312 yr For Obsidian, alpha as a general status means that a "thing" (feature, area, quest, etc.) is content complete and fully functional but may still need additional work. As a side note, I didn't have much input into the high-level direction of the RPG advancement system. twitter tyme
February 21, 201312 yr Ours is similar. It can be pretty tough to determine specifically when the project as a whole is alpha in my opinion, and as such I find it's easier to do it on a system level (even then just with iteration, new stuff still ends up coming in without much time to spare before cert/release). The big thing I have noticed in my short time is how complex "doing some extra work" can really be (the woes of feature creep). It's easy for one person to stay a bit late for his pet project/feature, but without realizing that it may affect several people down the development pipeline by doing so makes simple tasks suddenly take a lot more total man hours.

Yeah, it's a shame to see Colonial Marines instead of this :/ Curious. Never really hear much about the development hell for Aliens Crucible. Mind summarizing the article for us?
