Alpha version and steam release?
« on: August 17, 2016, 10:02:14 PM »

Once the steam release is available, will the alpha version continue to be distinct from the steam version, or will they be the same version?  Will the version we can download from this website continue to be available after the steam release goes out?

Yep, the latest and greatest Cogmind will always be available from this site and your regular download link! You don't have to use Steam, nor worry about DRM.

What I mean is, will the "latest and greatest" version also be available from steam, or will the steam version be some sort of stable version?

I'll always release the exact same thing to both places. All releases already go through extensive testing and are mostly bug free, and in the event that any serious problem is found, a hotfix/patch goes out immediately. So there's no reason for the two channels to be any different, unless for some reason Steam makes it difficult to update quickly (which I don't know because I've never used Steam before). Here on the site I can do updates in a flash :)
