Whats the current development state of Bridge Commander?
Bridge Commander is currently at the Alpha stage of development, Dan Hagerty posted the best explanation of Alpha so here it is… Alpha – all features and functions are in the game and working as originally designed. Final quality sound effects, voiceovers and movies are in the game, though some may be still placeholders. The code has yet to be optimized and game play is still rough with a lot of bugs. However, the central core of the game is there. Anyone can sit down at the game and form a reasonable impression of how it works. The interim stage between Alpha and Beta is used as follows… The time between Alpha and Beta is used to test. And test. And test. Generate as many bugs as you can so that you can fix them. During this phase, designers will tweak things, balance game play and may even drop (or, in extreme cases, redesign) certain features that may have looked good on paper but failed to impress once implemented. Here’s the explanation that was posted to cover the next stage
