Q: Is the current A21 version of the game as well as recollections of A20 and A19 a good representation of the 1.0 update?
A: No. Listing off features and characteristics of current and past versions that are outdated since the dev team has been working towards 1.0 this past year is inaccurate. The best time to judge whether 1.0 meets your own personal expectations is once you've been able to play the experimental build and see what progress has been made.
Q: Is the UI considered to be in final form?
A: No. Despite the 1.0 tag there are plans to overhaul the UI post launch. There has been no communication from TFP claiming that they believe the current UI is consdered finished. Therefore, the 1.0 tag isn't a statement that it is.
Q: Is the game being released as 1.0 their idea of a finished game?
A: No. They have not tried in any way to pass off the game as a finished product. They have clearly stated that it needs more work but that they are also ready to leave the shelter of early access and let their game stand without it. They are not ending their work on the game and they won't consider it done until it has all the features they've been planning for it.
Q: Doesn't a 1.0 release usually mean "finished"?
A: It can but it also seems to mean many different things within the industry. TFP released information alongside the 1.0 announcement so that customers would be able undestand their definition of 1.0. "Finished game" is not their definition.
