Ongoing development after release model

Does anyone know what the correct term for this is? As far as I understand it, beta implies that no more major features will be added, and even a commercial beta version is usually free, right? We plan on releasing our game initially (direct download only, indy developer etc) with a limited feature set, but still polished and functional. Basically we will add multiplayer support (the game is designed to be primarily multiplayer, though the single player version will still be fun!) and a lot more content after release, and want to make this clear from the outset. Is calling it a final version but promising these additional features in the near future the best way to go about it? Or is there some other terminology anyone can think of? Thanks, Brendan

Tom: Sorry mate I owe you an apology for that. You took the time to respond and offer advice, and I misinterpreted your response and was perhaps even a little rude. Re-reading it I realise how similar to a demo my original description sounded! I would have probably said something similar, I'm just so used to being confronted with unfounded skepticism when asking basic questions that I rarely bother anymore... :)

I'll drink to that! Cheers, Mate. And good luck with your Release 1.0, may it lead to Release 10.0 in the farflung future.
Tom
