Kiddo, you haven't been developing for this game for the past 2 years. This game enters beta when Regalis says it enters beta ("Sings it").
Of course, he may be human too and decide to call it good, his choice.

Beta means the game is finished, that any extra content is a minimum of bugfixes and final additions. A game goes gold when it's considered "bug free" and then released onto the market, of course that doesn't prevent the public from being more thorough from beta testers and finding more exploits that'll need to be patched. I guess you can consider 1.0 a finally thorough game.

There will never be a final update.

Yes there will be a final update, since now the game will be in beta, so after that, only a few updates to go (at least), then a final version.

That being said, I think Reg would be better off not adding more content to the game after 1.0. It's pretty obvious to anyone who's looked at CB's source code that the game doesn't scale very well. I'd be much more interested in Reg starting a new project applying what he learned from CB and CS, rather than tacking on content to his engine that isn't suited to support it.
