I’ll release v0.9.0 BETA when I’ve finished creating content (quests, dialogue, encounters) for the main questline. Then I’ll focus on fixes, tweaks, fleshing out details, expanded content, sidequests, and visual improvements (more texturing, transparency if not already done, etc.)

Beta series will be complete when it’s a decent looking, solid, fun little RPG.
