Yes, we are going to publish a short form to fill a month after Kickstarters. It's going to be more manageable this way.

I want to jump in this! It’s January and they sent out the beta... release the game already!!!! Do what other companies do, release it and send out updates!!!!! Come on already!

I agree.

My money is ready to go, computer is fast as hell on wheels! In the words of Dennis Hopper in Waterworld: “let’s get this tub of S&#$ up to speed!”

so is the public beta already out or is it still for the backers only?

What I don`t like is, that there is not much info available.

Still backers beta!

I'm not a dev, just a backer.

The goods are being delivered in Europe as of early January.

The updates from the devs can be seen on the kickstarter web site and on the game facebook page.

They have to ship to North America, Jan-Feb timeframe. I wonder if the border guys are working (Trump shutdown), to let the shipment in.

I'm in Canada, so assume our games will ship along with the US ones. Waiting, like everyone else.

Not sure about the cryptic posts above, but I have to agree, I'm never sure where to look for information on this promising sim. That's quite uncommon for kickstarter projects, usually there's a bit more of updates, at least more than once or twice a year

I read the steam page discussions, but even then not much official info. I understand that it's only a few developers, but the marketing is honestly horrible. It seems like the only ones keeping the interest alive for this game are the people complaining about the lack of updates (I agree), or the people justifying it. You'd figure the publisher would be putting out media, but they have said what we've all heard too many times regarding this title, "soon". The current rumor is still Q1 this year from what I can tell. I think there's a line when it comes to being cautious about putting something vs waiting too long. If they stayed on the proposed (revised) timeline of early access by the end of last year, I think most people would be more accepting of issues with the game, but as it is now I think when this game does get released that the goodwill has been used up.
