ETA on fullgame?

I bought this but I'm leery about playing it before it's done. I don't want to lose interest prematurely.

We have a roadmap posted here that gives rough estimates on what and when you can expect new features: https://trello.com/b/GgeN5g3B/chkn-epic-development-board

It's VERY playable already :)

Oh wow, a year. I didn't know the game was THAT early access.

What is the ETA on the Animation upgrade and AI overhaul? I was waiting to start playing until it got done in July, like you link says, but uh it's now August.

Hey, Drain. Sorry for any confusion on that roadmap link! That's the development plan/schedule, so there are no release dates on there. We're posting an update on our progress next week but here's a quick update for you until then:

The bulk of Animation and AI systems are done and now we're fixing up bugs, adding some functionality for future features, and working on some parts that cross over with Abilities. We plan to have some previews to show next week and then a build up on Pre-Release for community testing the week after that. (More info on our Pre-Release builds here.) Although right now it looks like we're a bit ahead of schedule, so we'll probably actually do the Pre-Release next week instead. *knock on wood* Assuming that goes well and we can iron out all the bugs that people report, we'll release the build to the main branch for everyone. We estimate that'll be in the later part of August.

TL;DR: If you're comfortable with test builds, the next update for you would be next week. If you prefer stable builds, it'd be in a few weeks.

If you have any more questions, let us know!
