The goal of creating alpha builds is to take the development of the game seriously as a full time project, which involves three things: 1) create a community of active, regular players 2) create a gameplay loop that brings meaning to effort and 3) create immersive themes, environments and story. The point of distributing public builds is to encourage the growth of all these three things by implementing, testing, and improving all the basic features used, such as character customization, personal rooms, and so on with one unified theme and design direction.

This list contains systems that has or has not reached final design - so a system can be in the game but still be unticked - this means that it's mostly unfinished and I'm planning more content for it.

The goal of beta builds would be to stress-test and patch up as much of the basic systems as possible and shift to creating story content as the primary task. This would include character stories and arcs, evolution of the playable areas, events held for groups of people (both npc-led and player-led events) and in general, fleshing out the world and exploring what happens to the npc characters.
