    In that case I might have misunderstood DarkStarrs posting. I read 'For R14, it will most likely be a separate build, purely for testing.' as having two builds, one U4, one U5 for that very specific release, to ensure everything works fine before switching to U5 full scale on the next release.

    For R13 they fired up a secondary test server that allowed Dev+ backers to test it before it rolled out to everyone while keeping the live R12 server up. My guess is that they'll go that route with the Unity 5 version as part of that beta environment initially.

    We have a new payment limit. Maybe that will be the date, but will be fine if it's done in april/may.

    The only estimate we have is an intentionally vague "2015". I really don't think we're gonna get any thing more precise than that and it wouldn't be a surprise to anyone here if we went into 2016.

    From the FAQ:

    No one else seems to have responded to this. Perhaps you are unaware that if you right click an item you get a 'destroy item' option. This is new in r13.

    It may not be as good as dropping an item on the ground so that others can pick it up but it is better than having to find a chest or other container to put unwanted items into.

    I can see several reasons why a developer gives a very vague indication for release date,
    but among other things I think it is easier to assess the current state of the game if you can put it relation to a current estimated release month.

    Plus I am darned curious and interested :)

    April/may dosn't feel likely to me, based on my very limited knowledge.
    I don't mind waiting at all, but I do mind not knowing what the developers feel is the current estimated release month.
    They could update that info monthly if they feel it has changed.

    The initial date that payment plans ended was when they were hoping to have a beta. Now payment plans extend to March 2015, so maybe we will have a beta in April.

    Please make sure that any achievements you add will be available to all, and won't be achievements like 'Backed the game on kickstarter' which would mean people who just didn't happen to be there at the time, will never be able to get a 100% rating on achievements. Its always irksome to know you'll never be able to even try to get all achievements, and really takes away from the enjoyment of getting any of the other ones.
