These are the states that a release group can be in.

In the final database, every value can be analyzed regarding "released yes/no" and "development status".

Not all combinations of these the values are meaningful (see matrix below).

released status
yes - officially
yes - unofficially
no
development status 
finished 
in closed beta 
in open beta 
continuous development

This case is designed for games like Battle for Wesnoth which are in constant development and see stable releases regularly

cancelled 
Vaporware 

 

Combination matrix (every cell will be a referencable from games/releases, but only one value at a time, like every data list)
