    Also, Bartwe said that it is extremely unlikely that the beta will be ready during Q1 of 2013. Here's hoping to Q2!

    Well it's good we have some confirmation. Probably won't stop people arguing about it though.

    Well you did call dibs. Well done sir.

    On a side note, I guess adding a pre-order beta is ok. I think? The only benefit I can perceive is some early feedback on an unfinished product which I guess helps-alongside chances of finding more bugs.

    I would prefer that they wait until they're finished with the game before they make it public, but oh well. Also:

    [15:14:05] <Tiy> space station wont be in beta

    So instead of a million threads about a release date we will now have a million threads about the beta release date, awesome. But this is good news!

    What about all that money they'd get from people pre-ordering in order to access the beta? Surely that is a benefit that would help speed development as well.

    Woohoo. Let's be honest, most of us are probably excited at the prospect of playing a pre-order beta even if it goes against some people's sensibilities or opinions on the contrary. I think it will be great to get to play, improve the game, and be part of it all in a bigger way. ;)

    I'm assuming this will include multiplayer? It would be a good way to really test the engine's capabilities.

    I like to believe that with all the money they will make from pre-orders, Tiy is going to build a money fort just like our lord Gaben.

    I wouldn't consider that as a confirmation. Also, this is the only thing that'll stop people from arguing.

    I'd simply enjoy giving them my money, they truly deserve it.

    Yes! That's awesome!: D

    But it came from the Mighty Tiyuri himself! If that's not confirmation, then NOTHING is!

    Indeed, but he did use the word "planned" so... :p

    Unless you think the picture was faked, then believe it. He never said exactly when, mind you. Just that it's planned.
    Exactly, it's going to happen - Tiy is the lead developer, not some random person spreading hearsay. I get what you're saying, Mokunen - planned doesn't mean that it 100% will happen. But I think it will - why would he say it and then not do it, at the risk of losing credibility and getting backlash?

    I'm kinda disappointed; As much as I'd rather play the game when it's fully released, I know there's no way I'll be able to resist playing the beta if I have access to it
