I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. It's the signal that signals siganlity of... what am I even writing? Sorry I'm way too excited to do this well...
Today, Vecter goes into BETA, which means that in two months time, Vecter goes out of Early access and is a full flagged-game. But what else does Beta mean?
In the standard definition of the sense, it means that Vecter is feature complete, and we're now moving into a stage where I'm only focusing on bug-fixes and performance issues, prior to the game's full release. This is a very important and necessary stage, as people getting Vecter NOT in early access are expecting a fully polished and complete, bug-free experience, and I want to give them that.
There are no major differences between version 0.9 and version 0.4.4.9 that came out yesterday. It's just a version number thing to mark certain milestones.
That being said, to commemorate this event, I've made changes in-game to signal everywhere that it is indeed a BETA. I've also changed the Steam artworks slightly to reflect this.
But to summarise all of the above
Today, 17/07/2020 VECTER has officially left Alpha and has become BETA, with a scheduled release date of 17/09/2020
Also to commemorate this occasion, there is now a new achievement and Easter egg. Generously provided by gambit from our discord community. If you want to find out how to get this Easter egg and achievement, go bug him on twitter, I'm not going to tell you
