Which means they'll probably have a full alpha build by the end of this year, a closed beta build by next year where they'll start working on level design and assets, then open beta/early access/make-your-customers-do-your-QA-work-for-you period sometime around 2021/2022.Also, one thing to keep in mind is they're saying it'll release on Steam and have a Steam page up, but there is a good chance Epic might come at them with the six figure signing bonus for an exclusive period on the Epic Store they've been courting a lot of indie developers with. And when you're closing in on release and your crowdfunding funds are running low, that quarter or half million extra gets really tempting to make sure you can actually finish the game properly before release.</blockquote>
