pre beta?
is't that an alfa?
No, it will be public beta (you know how much its playable since years). It will never be "alpha", I dont think it will ever be "ready" unless Darkhound gets one day bored with all of it (hope it never happens). There will be always new and new ideas , even in this forum you could read about some of them time to time :)

While I agree whit what you said, until is 1.0 it is in BETA. but you could have sub versions 0.3.5.0 alpha for small circle of people the beta for bigger circle and release candidate. Pre-beta seems unnecessary invented phase.
Is prebeta commonly used in programing?

Exciting news! Does this part mean Ivy's images are partially updated in this update, or that all the new Ivy images will be moved to the next update?

Inquiring minds want to know I guess, but with all the new content and additional changes to the game, that's what concerns you?!?!

You can talk with Mercedes in the Nightbar. Have to ask, are you following all the hints given related to the quest(s) in your phone? It's hard to say without seeing some screenshots of what you are describing.

Taken from the Companion Guide: HOW DO IINTERACT WITH MERCEDES AT THE POOL AND GET ALL THE ACHIEVEMENTS? As of ver.2.3.0, Mercedes has had her duties expand to include being a Lifeguard at the pool. The hints are pretty specific, but know that she is very conscientious about her job and if more than one girl is present, nothing will happen. Also, since there are multiple achievements, you’ll have to interact with her multiple times. Best to have her and your stats high. Having a supply of protein shakes is also a good idea. The first time, just chat with her. The second time you can get her to flex for you. Finally, don’t have her flex for you and try and be sneaky.
