Source Release

A source release is a way in which Piga Software can release development builds for the general public to see and possibly work on in a way that makes them polished and separate from final releases. This can be useful as to show the general public what work has been done even when a project is still in heavy development. This was first used for the initial builds of the Free Empires project and this has since been used with Lamp Refugee and Alexei: Part XIII. Part XIII was done as a "preview release" to reflect that the engine is not likely to be changed that much later on, unlike Lamp Refugee, and instead adding more game content is the main priority of later releases.
