Twardy 2.0 Updates - Screenshot Versions V.S. Beta/Prelease/Release Versions


What Are All Of These Versions?

All of the versions listed above are vastly different in many ways:

  • Screenshot updates are basically pre-beta updates; they are highly experimental. In screenshot updates, you will be able to see stats that you wouldn't see in other versions, like the game's current resolution or the current time in-game. Also, screenshot updates don’t include all of the release update’s features so players could still stay surprised. Usually almost nothing in screenshot updates are final.
  • Beta updates happen after screenshot updates; they are more stable, but still experimental. In beta versions, usually most - if not - all things are final.
  • Prelease updates are the last step before release updates; they are almost completely stable. The point of prerelease versions is to find and fix as many bugs as possible before the release version comes out. Usually almost everything you find in prerelease updates will be in release versions.
  • Release versions are the game’s most stable versions. Release versions are any versions that are not screenshot, beta, or prerelease versions; they aren’t just versions after Twardy 2.0’s initial release (November 22nd 2026).

Twardy 2.0 Update Senario

Let’s pretend I am making an update numbered “0.0.7”. Here’s how the process would go (remember that this currently ISN’T a real update for now and this is all for an example):

  1. I would release 2 screenshot updates for it: “Screenshot 20250503174906 (0.0.7)” and “Screenshot 20250507182483 (0.0.7)”.
  2. After a few days, (and some bug-fixing,) I would release a beta version of the update numbered “0.0.7_beta”.
  3. After 1-2 weeks (or less), I would release 2 prerelease versions for it: “0.0.7_prerelease1” and “0.0.7_prerelease2”.
  4. After 2-5 days, I would finally release the release version of “0.0.7”.
