Alpha Version - is it already available?

[wickedinsane]

Is the alpha version testing already running?
If I become a "Legendary Fan" can I already have a look into this promising game?

Other than that Im really looking forward to this game. It leaves a really
awesome impression! Hope to see more of the game soon!

Not yet, they're still putting it all together.

Hi,

No, the alpha is not currently available and won't be until later this year. Currently the pre-order exists as a way for fans to contribute to the game's development while receiving a game key for later use.

I apologize if this is unclear on the order page but we're forced to make it ambiguous in order to be in compliance with certain absurd and self-defeating policies of payment processors. (hope they don't see this!)

Such is the world of business...

Ok, thanks for the info!
Im willing to contribute as soon as there is an alpha version to be played

Is there something more concrete about a possible date?

Not at this point. The game is nearly feature-complete but we have a lot of art and content yet to build and we're a very small team. There are some factors that could shorten or lengthen our schedule depending on how they turn out but we won't know that until we get there, so it difficult to predict how long it will take with any great precision. Right now we're making good progress and we're aiming for late this year.

In a word: Awesome!!

Thanks again for a solid string of updates -- comments, music, interviews, etc. -- that has continued to demonstrate how far the project has come in the past few months.

Is that for the Alpha, or the whole game?

Sorry if it seems like a retarded question, it probably is.

Dammit, that means 2012 is (probably) the release date for the full game.

But it also gives me a lot of time to get that Legendary Edition...

Hello all! Big Titan Quest fan here. Love the Hack n slash genre ever since my first day playing Diablo. The second Alpha is playable I will happily pay for the Legendary Fan Edition.
