Amateur. Unreal World has been in development since 1990 and the authors still don't consider it complete. Of course, the game has been released several times, the first as shareware in 1992 and most recently on Steam (and the latter only at the insistence of the fans, who wanted to ensure the game got more widespread access and the developers received enough funding to keep working on the game). They are still making additions and changes; in the authors' own words, there is "still there is no end in sight to perfecting the game."
