alpha is the first release
beta is second
omega is third
and then comes final.
Alpha is basically the test release.. a select ammount of people will get to play it, they give us feedback on what they liked and what they didnt like about gameplay, level design etc etc. However, it will be reasonably un-detailed.
Beta will have taken into account what our alpha testers said and then fixed 'em.. send it to the beta testers.
Omega is final-ish. We release what we think will be all we need to do, but if anybody spots a bug, it'll get fixed.
Once completely big free, final version is released to the public.

By December... That's sure one big project here then...if the testers say there is nothing wrong (no error) in Alpha then he wont be needing to make a beta
Anywho - sign me up as a beta/alpha/omega tester, ok?
If there would be an omega for this mod?Then that means the mapper cannot correct the errors or the testers notice new errors each time.

Great reply. Not.
Anway, i still need to do a couple of tweaks on my map. Won't be much, the actual brushwork is done. It only needs adjustment.

Whats your GF doing to contribute to your mod?She designed the entire game (concepts and maps), she playtests, creates textures and skins and designs the actual models themselves and finally voice acting.
...She cooks ok too.
