When to post to Release Announcement?

Hi,

I'm working on my first game and have a playable alpha release.  I'm looking for feedback.  I posted about it in the Get Feedback forum but haven't gotten any comments/downloads.  What goes in the "Release Announcements" forum?  Is that just for games that are "done?"  Or are works in progress OK?  Thanks.

Release announcements are for games that are, well, released. Might be just the first episode of a game, pending DLC, but it has to be done at least to a point. Of course, "done" is subjective, so use your best judgement.

The forum topics are not in the best order, so I've found this question after posting my game release announcement. My game is playable, I cannot call it finished, but I've roughly estimated that it's 50% complete.

I think DONE means: deployable and playable game (or game prototype), even if it's not a merchandise or marketable product.

Of course this also depends on your goal. For marketing reasons, an early prototype may not be announced at all, maybe besides a closed group of members.

Altay Tank Game is just for fun, so I've taken the liberty of announcing it.
