Watch the introduction video of Sailaway III alpha 8 here
There are 8 alpha versions in total. Each alpha version contained newly added features. The primary purpose of the alpha versions was to provide early access to content creation. The next trial version will be beta 1 and it will be released in june. In the beta phase there are no new functions added, but instead the existing functions will be improved and any remaining bugs will be hunted down.
Have a look at the Trello board to see where we're at.
The current alpha 8 version contains adds sounds, music, game controller support and wind shadowing.
The alpha versions are the intermediate result of the development process and are not the finished end product.
The visuals aren't optimal yet and various functions may be lacking. Either because they aren't build yet or because they do not serve the specific purpose of the alpha version.
