Wow! What a journey that was. The Salt 2 Kickstarter is officially over and we hit our goal all thanks to you! So, let me go over real quick where we are going from here.
First, it'll take Kickstarter a couple weeks to process and finalize all the pledges. Once that's done we'll have a final list of backers and I'll reach out to you and get information for your rewards. So be on the lookout for that in a few weeks time.
As for Salt 2 development, we're hard at work moving along as fast as possible and we will be releasing the game onto Steam Early Access in the fall of this year. As always, development time and release dates can change but right now we are on course to hit that mark.
The closed beta access will be about a month or two before the early access launch. So right now we're looking at early Fall for that. We'll have a more specific date as we get closer. The closed alpha will take place before that so we're looking at probably a late summer timeframe for the alpha. Again these dates can change but this is what we are shooting for right now. We will have more specific info on that as we get a bit closer.
Don't forget to hop on over to our Discord channel and chat with us (Kickstarter backer roles coming soon!) Thank you all again for all your support. We could not have done this without you and it means a lot that you put your faith and trust in us to make this game.
See you on the high seas fellow pirates!
