I have noticed that people have been playing the alpha and i have watched a few nice vids and the game looks like its coming together very well...But if the game is still in alpha - the 28th of Feb seems pretty soon to be going from alpha to beta to final, to me at least.
I am sure everyone would be more satisfied with a more polished build if it meant pushing the release back a month or 2 rather than sticking to the 28th of Feb and having to heavily patch it after release.
Maybe the alpha is just a release for the backers and its in beta internally?
What do you guys think?
