    I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
    Probably, yes.

    For early SMNC we asked people to not post information / videos publicly, not necessarily because we wanted to keep the game secret but because we didn't want videos of incomplete (and sometimes not entirely functional) content becoming essentially the only thing people outside of those with alpha access see.

    That would be tremendously ambitious of you.

    *edit* That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the reply.

    Yeah I was expecting an NDA for Alpha, it's a possibility there won't be one for Beta, or at least the last portion of beta maybe...

    Almost glad I didn't have the money for alpha. It'd be so hard not to break the NDA :D

    It'll be before 2013. Could even be next month. Uber put out SMNC insanely early.

    Good to know, is it going to be tiered access?

    I'm just speculating.

    Either the trailer is a smokes and mirrors show, or this has been worked on for a little bit already. I suspect as early as Tim Schafer's and Brian Fargo's Kickstarters.

    Apparently, Neutrino has been working on this for a year already. The game, I mean.

    I think he is making an assumption from this:

    Sounds more like that means he'll be crunching until the release.

    Since Kickstarter is listing the delivery date as July 2013, maybe he's been crunching since July?
