Hey all, as you can see we're a little down to the wire here. February's the short month, and we've only got one more day until it's over!

I'll cut to the chase and tell you all what's up: sometime in the next couple of days I'll be releasing Chapter 5 in alpha. Since we're "relatively on-schedule" with this one, the early-access period of 7 days will be followed.

As you can all see with the progress tracker, we're still a few scenes behind... there was a few hiccups.... long story short that's my own fault, so in order to honor my promise of an end-of February release: the alpha, released sometime in the next day or so, will be missing a few scenes which will be added/finished by the time early-access is over.

So good news and bad news:

Good news first, CH5 is indeed being released in alpha in a day or so. We're following the tiered early-access model here on Patreon.

Bad news, the alpha is a little barebones (at least by Radiant's standards)-- the last few scenes of the chapter aren't quite ready for consumption just yet, so if you want to play the full chapter all at once/don't want the stunted version, I recommend waiting until the game's in beta, or for the best possible experience: the full launch. Our plan is to get the last few scenes done before the full release here on Patreon.

Keep in mind that your time-zone will affect when you see the alpha posted here to Patreon, it might be a day or two into March when it's posted. Regardless of all of the above, I am beyond excited for you guys to play this chapter. I hope all of you enjoy playing/reading it as much as I enjoyed making it and I'm super excited for the feedback & discussion about it.

I've rambled on long enough, I need to get back to it. Love you guys!

SirD.

P.S. February wallpapers incoming.

Excellent. Some people will be annoyed at having to download twice, but releasing what you've got on release day is a hugely important thing to do. Kudos!

Exactly! I wanted to release *something* no matter what. Fwiw I tried really hard to get this one out for those who subscribed this month specifically *for* the update... but with Chapter 5 being a little bit shorter than we're used to, I wanted to work on it until the very last minute in order to fill it out some and ensure its all high quality. So while it's coming at the last possible second of the month, the tradeoff is it's a little bit heftier and longer.

Sounds reasonable. Snap it off and ship it. Any incomplete content can go into making 0.6 richer.

Awesome ! Awesome ! How do you / where do you download the the alpha when released ? Thanks for all you do !

RK Studios

The alpha will be posted here on Patreon! You will receive a notification the moment it's out. And thank you for the support/allowing us to do it!

Full transparency btw guys/something I forgot to mention, the alpha will be the first 2/3rds of the chapter, roughly. The full/beta versions will come with roughly 45m of additional content. So while I of course would recommend waiting and experiencing it in full, I figured some of you would like the option to not/to play it in smaller parts. Thanks for being patient with us!

The devs like you that keep us informed are easy to have patients with. When you know what's going on, it's easy to wait even you want to act more like a spoiled child.

I don't mind waiting. I got beta access, but I can wait until the full release of Ch5. Life as an AVNs patron has taught me patience, which is then rewarded greatly for the wait.

Chapter 5 alpha will be out tonight! It will likely be late at night/early AM, aka when most people in the USA are sleeping. Thanks for your patience guys, I just wanted to make sure it was absolutely perfect/not cut corners. I appreciate all of you for dealing with my antics!
