For thoese who want to make survive the nights the best it can be

Alpha backers will be the first to get there hands on the game. We have a a lot of work to do still before that happens. We expect to have our first alpha test "weekends" sometime late fall. We tend to be very picky, very self aware of our work. This is our first project, we don't want to make the same mistakes other teams have. This isn't going to turn into a HL3 situation, we just want to present something worth presenting. Until that time we'll be dealing directly with the backers, getting input, ideas, content etc. We'll be active on our forums, starting a roadmap updating bi-weekly. So to answer the questions essentially unless we're VERY happy with our first builds (quite possible) access will be limited.
