      As original planned, Beta for backers should be in summer, but since they break stretch goal one by one, I guess they need more time to do more and delay beta release accordingly. It is really tough project with such tight schedule and lit budget for this ambitious game. I do believe they can achieve it, let’s wait!

      haha, if they are hiring new staff at over 100k then itll still be a while. wait till the finished game is out.. or at least a complete beta wont be right away.
