When will Alpha 4.0 come out?

When it's ready. The answer to all when questions is when it's ready. Anything else is unfair. Last week, we had the 500th episode of ISC, and I said in the outro hosting that we were targeting 4.0 for something earlier than the end of the year. We are. We are all working towards a release that is sooner than the last week of December, which is, I think, what a lot of people are saying. Now, is that the same as me saying it's going to be? No, it's not. I don't know when it's going to be. The answer to when it's going to come out is always the same: when we think it's ready. But there's this thing that happens where people ask us when, and then we share: we're targeting, we're attempting, we're all working towards getting it out at this time. And then it doesn't happen at that time, and there's invariably somebody that's like, oh, CIG promised. And I'm like, that's not the definition of a promise. We told you what we were trying to do, and that's us being honest, and that's what we're honestly trying to do. Sometimes we just don't make it, because that's how game development is. So we do try to be responsible with how many times and how many places we share that information, because if you just keep saying we're trying for this, we're trying for this, and then they don't happen... There are plenty of people who preferred that I didn't say anything at all, because they get their hopes up and then it doesn't make it. So it's a catch-22. If we never say what we're trying to do, then people say, you're not sharing anything, you're not telling us what you're trying to do, you're not telling us what's going on. And then if I tell you what we're trying to do and then we don't make it, then people go, I wish he hadn't told us. I'm on year 10 of this, so I'm not super fazed by it anymore. But I'm pretty responsible with it. At the end of last year, I gave a list of things we were targeting for the first six months, and those things all came out in the first six months. And when I came back the first show of this year, I said the first six months of the year again, and those things were out in the first six months. So I try to be pretty responsible with my estimates. But yeah, we are targeting. We are trying. Everybody here is working very hard to get 4.0 out sooner rather than later. The work for 3.24 does not block the work for 4.0. They're in different streams. So we're trying real hard to get it out. We want it out. I comment on the show a lot that we have all the same conversations the backers do. We have all the same feelings the backers do. We just had them 12 weeks earlier. We all want this stuff out because we want to move to the next thing and the next thing and the next thing. So what I said last week still holds true. We are targeting a release earlier than the end of this year, and we're all working very hard to make that happen.
