So, I swore I wouldn't pay $90 for the privilege of being an alpha tester, and I didn't. It turns out, however, that I will pay $70. The game, in its current state, is recognizably descended from Total Annihilation, and that alone makes me squee. Many, many things are still missing, and I look forward to following the game's development.

My name is Hakkonen, if any of you are also in the alpha and care to look me up.
