A rogue-like can go through a number of development statuses on its way to becoming the next [[NetHack]].  These categories are used for the Status summary of a roguelike and also to categorize Roguelikes by.
#REDIRECT [[Categories]]
 
* [[Talkie talkie projects]]: No software has been released, and usually no code has been written.
* [[Alpha projects]]: a development version with severly limited functionality has been released.
* [[Beta projects]]: a playable and winnable public testing version has been released.
* [[Stable games]]: Stable games are roguelikes that the authors have believed reached a level of maturity that allows them to be judged as games in themselves.  Often, development is still ongoing, as rogue-likes are hardly ever finished. (Except for those that were developed in a definite amount of time, like Dungeon Monkey and the 7DRLs, of course.)
* Defunct: the game is no longer under development.
