This looks fun

"This year" would probably be the best bet for alpha2. Probably late summer or even later, but it'd be better to get ready for late spring.

But that doesn't really matter cause alpha2 is supposed to last till release, so if you have $250 on top of your laptop costs - you don't have to hurry.

They'll tell us ahead of time if they decide to stop selling alpha2 access. So just keep checking their social media or the forum announcements and you'll know when the alpha2 comes on and whether the sale is stopped.
