Hello there everybody, I just wanted to touch base with you all to let you know what's up.
We have been working hand in hand with our EXTREMELY dedicated testing group, whom have been nothing but patient with us over the past few weeks.
While I'm not going to commit to a final launch date, because it can very by a factor of DAYS (not weeks, or months, DAYS), I will say that we are about fifteen days off, possibly less.
Now, having said this, there are more things to launch than simply having the game properly set up. There's the PR, the youtubers, the exact date (We wouldn't want to launch in the middle of Quake-Con now would we!), and two or three other underlying factors that will determine the exact date.
As such, what we will MIGHT (the alternative is to just push on and release even earlier) do, in the spirit of not messing with those early access supporters who have been with us for so long is release a beta 0.99 version, which will essentially be the 1.0 build without the final little bells and whistles.
I'd say it's a decent tradeoff for waiting a few extra days isn't it!
Once the testers can't find anything to complain about on it, we'll push it, once you guys can't find anything to complain about, we'll polish and launch!
Enjoy!
