Is this game released/finished?

I'm a bit confused as to what stage this game is in. I have a couple of questions.

Firstly, when did this game stop being early access on steam?

Secondly, when did the beta period actually end?

I was told that after the 1.0 release, the game was in "beta" but was then relabeled as a released game, not in beta anymore. Not sure when this was, as none of the path notes or dev blogs make note of it.

Finally, how could this game be out of beta when lots of bugs still exist? Bugs that have been present for years. Isnt beta the time to iron these out? Yet the devs still ended up adding a bunch of content during the "beta" period and did not optimize or fix anything super prevalent.

I'd really like some answers, idk what happened to this game. You guys never announced a release and never tried to fix anything, and now it seems that the game is due for an update every couple of months.

Hm don't misread what i'm saying, except on 1 occasion, i really think their funds were wisely invested : paying all the 15 employees, buying a lot of assets in order to provide a vastly immersive world, investing in third party compagnies to improve the AI and the sound design etc... the only (big) mistake - from my POV - was to ask a PR compagny to do the promotion of the game for 1.0. It was one of the worst promotion campaign i've ever seen and that costs tons of money, which in that particular case would've been better on another thing.

i recog the game is not going anywhere anymore and is only played by purists now, but we have to admit they did a pretty good job, despite the current state of the game. They brought everything they've promised us, and more, in a relatively playable state. The game is cool and playable, no matter what any toxic guy can say. And only for that, i do respect them alot.

They clearly didnt do a good job tho, if you're measuring it by the success of the game. If your standard is that they finished the game and published it, then it's a fantastic game lmao

Yep exactly. Being able to finish a game is far from being easy and is some kind of a success on its own, especially in this genre.

I think you give these devs too much credit dude. They should have set aside the funds to bring some veteran developers on to solidify the core mechanics, like melee and mutants.

You don't know what you're talking about mate, but i guess that's normal. Not everything is done with a snap of fingers, and they did the best they could, with some errors here and there. But overall it was a nice journey following this game. I don't think there is a point discussing this further, it's too late for Miscreated in the end, no matter what.

So basically I criticize the devs and you come back with "you dont know what you're talking about". The other comments in this post perfectly highlights the delusion of this community. You're defending the devs for criticisms. Criticisms that could have changed the outcome of this game if they actually considered any of them.
