Questions about the alpha closure phase.

[Redeemer]

So while alpha is down and we are in the middle of transitioning into beta, I have multiple questions.

1. Is there any planned/possible streams.

2. Will we be informed about how much progress is being made? For example, "Land enemies are ready and now we're working on sailing enemies" or perhaps just a general "We've made some significant progress" or "We're about halfway done."

3. Now this is a question that will not likely be answered or half-answered. I'm not going to be asking for a specific date or amount of weeks, but how long should we at least expect beta to be prepared. I'm talking maybe a few weeks, a month, a few months, or before or after christmas. Any kind of estimation would be good to know. It would also let people relax about the waiting time because then we aren't just left in the dark and kind of frustrated because we don't know if it could be in a few weeks or a few months for all we know.

I know the streams aren't planned that far in advance (as in like a month in advance). They usually announce a stream a few days or a few hours before it occurs. For #2 I think they said they would try to keep us as updated as possible.

I would be prepared for beta prep phase to be 1-2 months long.

We do not have any dates in mind for Beta release. We have a list of things that we want to accomplish, and we want to make sure they get done the right way. We will release Beta as soon as all of that is finished. That's all of the info we can provide.
