Hi all my question is, is The Lost Legends of Redwall: The Scout in full Beta? I have heard conflicting reports.

On their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/pg/RedwallGame/posts/?ref=page_internal) a post dated July 27 at 3:25PM said,
"The Scout is in Beta.
Speak your mind! Now or never!

But - we ARE getting down to the wire on our Early Access period on Steam. We still are not going to make any definite release date announcements - it'll be done when it's done - but we are getting close.
What we could really use right now is the kind of bug testing and fine-tooth-combing that we simply can't do on our own.
What's in it for you?
1. We all want this to be as good as it possibly can be and you can have an active hand in improving the quality.
2. When the product launches all Early Access customers will be given credit for a Season Pass which means you'll get all three acts for about the price of a single episode."

Then on the Steam website (https://steamcommunity.com/games/656030/announcements/detail/1711816464404534558)
Beta! It's totally real...
JULY 27   - SOMAGAMES
Eulalia!

After entering Early Access in December last year, and many iterations in the last seven months, we're ready to call this thing a Beta build.

"Beta" can be a slippery word so here's what WE mean by "Beta"
* We're working on bugs
* We're working on performance
* We're working on controls
* No more features are being added (yet)
* No more content is being added (yet)


If you've been lurking and hanging out, now is a good time to buy. We want, nay, we NEED your feedback to find every bug, glitch, and sneaking vermin before we go full release. As a motivation all Early Access purchases will be counted as full Season Passes when we go live which will get all three acts of The Scout when they release for the price of one. But this offer is only good until we release in full. After that - it's one episode at time for you boyo!
...If you're already in the EA group - you're already included in this deal. :)

What We've Been Up To:

If you are the proud owner of this game already but haven't played the build in a while, we'd like to invite you to take a look. The core levels have been polished and finalized, voice overs have been added, and every day more and more bugs are removed! After a warm reception at Portland's own Game Developers Conference, we are proud to call this game nearly complete.

Just A Taste Of The Newest Material:

-Hours of professional Voice Overs
-Updated Art
-Polished Quests
-NPC group mechanic
-Smarter, Deadlier Rats
-Faster Ladders
-Updated Lighting
-Smoother FPS and Much Optimization

What You Can Look Forward To In Future Updates:

-Animated Cinematic
-Polished Animations
-Reworked Dialog System
-New Mini-Levels with a Verminous Focus
-An In-Depth Cooking System
-New Ingredients
-More Lore
-Polished End-Level Records Screen
-Polished Save System
-Refined Scent Trails
-And more :)

Thank you for your support, your patience, and your enthusiasm! We look foward to hearing from you!

More from Steam, (https://store.steampowered.com/app/656030/The_Lost_Legends_of_Redwall__The_Scout/)
Beta is intended to be the beginning of the end - no new features, no new content, and all major updates will focus on bug fixes and responding to feedback from our players as it comes in. However, Soma Games is taking a Minecraft like approach to our release. First and Foremost we will attend to the bugs, glitches, and issues that will inevitably arise. Then we have two content based updates with non-critical but still exciting polish details including but not limited to a new level, a cooking system, and updated cinematic cutscenes!

Then when you search the Steam Early Acsess the Redwall game is included, (https://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Released_DESC&term=redwall&tags=-1&genre=Early%20Access)



Maybe it is my lack of knowledge about games and there terms that has me confused but cane someone explain?

Short answer: they said it's in beta, it's in beta.
