Stahp posting things that are pre-alpha! Not only the OP, but the most of us do this. I mean, what is to post stuff pre-alpha?
A program should be released when its nearly done.. "but other real games do it too"
You can literally play that game, but the functionality is not completely tested. They release pre-alpha's to catch money early on!

I posted the pre-alpha version because I ran out of ideas and I wanted some from the community. I also wanted know what they think/thought of it.

I agree with you, I do wish people would learn about the software release life cycle (i.e. the difference between pre-alpha, alpha and beta).

Programs should have something to show off in pre-alpha, an idea to display or a concept to trial. On these forums they're to get early feedback, encouragement and endorsement to help motivate the developer to work on the project and guide future progress. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with releasing what is to be a large project (at least in the eyes of the developer) to the forums early to garner feedback and get a feel for how the intended audience will react to it.

Here though… there's just not enough to go on. This is little more than the beginnings of a framework, and I didn't get much of a feel for what is being done here.
