so why don't they start beta?

Beta is more or less "we don't change/add anymore stuff unleast really needed" like bugfixes.
There are still major things to add, like blocks, and there is no singleplayer neither, to name some.
So you will have to have some more patience.
But, the sheer fun i'm having with the alpha, i'm more than sure that this game will be worth the wait.
And no, i'm not payed to say this

I want to believe you. I'm not payed to wait for it. But i have to and i do. I hope we can play it, test it soon.


Edit: Can someone who participates in the alpha help me a bit? I saw there's a ladder. Are there Hungarian players on the ladder?
Thanks!

Cheers!

This might seem like a weird question but can you decide what color team you want to be on or is it random or something? And also, is there a free-for-all mode?

It's blue vs red in Elite and Joust mode, you can chose one of them (if they are not full of course). And yes there are FFA modes called Melee and Battle. You can chose your own color (pink if you want) in these modes.

is there orange?

you can set a colour like a colour of trails in TM

Hey
Is there a list of callbacks that the SM-dedicated server returns?
(or are they the same as Canyon's callbacks?)

Thanks in advance

You can choose your own color in Joust as well. It's also free for all, except there's only two people playing at any given time. It's a 1v1 mode.

is there a mode where everybody is with lasers against everybody? xD and if not, is it possible to create one? ^^

Yes there is, with the normal gun.
It is a frenzy without limits.
One could easily adapt it to use lasers.
There is also a variation where there is a "goal" in the map.
There are lots of "start spawn" points where each player starts in another, and all at the same time. and when the first player reaches the "goal" there is an offzone that appears around the playfield that gets smaller all the time, when it hits a player he freezes he has to wait untill the round ends in spectator, and it is fun to wait .
The offzone finishes shrinking the field, until there is just a small perimeter around the goal that is left.
The last player standing wins.

To answer the second part of your question;
Yes you can create your own gamemode.
There already appeared a few in the alpha, the one i prefer is the jailbreak.
There are two teams.
The teams spawn at the same time and try to shoot eachother.
When one gets hit, he respawns in a closed area that he can leave only when one (or more) of his teammates are next to the "goal".
The team that gets all opponents in jail wins the round.

The jailbreak mode looks awesome!
