EDIT: Hey folks, unfortunately it seems like some people are losing their saves when they try the beta. This is a bug we didn't anticipate, clearly, and we're really sorry that it's affected you. We're working on finding a fix for it now, but at this time, we don't have a way to restore lost saves. Again, we're really sorry about this.
Cloud saves are in development right now and it's one of our top priorities. We're hoping to be rolling that out in the next update or two, and once that happens, this sort of thing shouldn't happen again.
TL:DR, We'd suggest not trying to beta test the game currently if you're worried about losing your save, as it seems to be happening to some people because of a bug we're working to fix ASAP.

We've been working hard on getting the game's latest patch out to you all. It's shaping up nicely, but it's not ready to be released yet. We need more players to help out with testing, so if you want to beta test the game, now is the perfect time!
How to access the Steam Beta:
1. Right click the game in your Steam library and click on Properties:
2. Click on the “Betas” tab:
3. Click on the dropdown menu and select “beta - Public Beta”:
That’s it! The game should update automatically and have [beta] its title on the sidebar.
