I know it can vary from tier to tier, from alpha to beta, even depends on successful KS. I’m talking about the release date that the grunts get for their $10-$20. I’m assuming a April-May 2014 KS (start of development), as Keith pointed out in a different topic.
The dev time will probably be 1-2 years depending on on how much money we raise and stretch goals etc. Our current plan is for alpha and beta to be pledge tiers. For those who pledge alpha the game will be available the moment we have something you can log into. The Beta time frame is still TBD and we probably won’t have an idea of that until we get closer to launching the Kickstarter as we’re still designing the game.
