Eitherway though, I think this game is looking to work out well.
Bedrock-beta is just the foundation of for the rest of the game. They even sent out a notice that even though it is called the "Bedrock-beta" it is actually a pre-alpha / alpha build - that over time will be developed to the full game.
Bedrock is in no way a well known phrase to turn the word beta into pre alpha.
We have situations where there are final assets and final systems that need to be tested (Beta), systems that are in their initial stages and need to be expanded a bit more before heavy testing (Alpha), and systems not implemented yet (Pre-Alpha), but we have no blanket statement that covers where we're at. Since the purpose of Bedrock Beta primarily is testing "final" and "near-final" systems as they are implemented and after testing internally, Beta made more sense with this approach than Alpha or Pre-Alpha. From here, we get input from everyone as to what we foresee as final, and whether everyone else sees the same. If not, we can iterate on those particular features until they are stable rather than completing the entire game and begin testing at a point where major changes are near impossible.
Either way, you have my full support and I'm hoping to cover this game in depth as it progresses through development and will be posting continual update videos and gameplay videos as more game is added in.
Beta of Alpha is just semantics, either way it's not a release version and that's clear on the store page to anyone that can read.
I love what you're doing and I'm going to be supporting you to the end. But you simply have got to change the store description if you want people to not at least make a passing comment about this beta game being alpha.
You have to understand that calling your game "bedrock" means nothing. Bedrock just sounds like a catchy term and I liked it when I purchased. My first impressions video has gotten quite a bit of praise but it has also had some people say "this game is pre alpha and you're being harsh". Yes, I am being harsh for a pre-alpha, but this is my first impression. I opened a beta game up and got pre-alpha. That is why my points might seem a bit harsh.
I would also like to add that I do praise the game in many aspects also and I think you guys are doing a great job. I just want to bring out honest videos and want to try and avoid my inner fanboyism. It is easy for me to defend any game that is trying to emulate DK2 but I have to turn around in my video and say I like what you're doing but there should be more in it to claim the beta tag.
Everyone knows beta sells more on steam than pre-alpha though.
