They also published a preview of the improvements for the environment graphics earlier:

The patch is supposed to go live next week 17th of September. I am looking forward to see what else they have in store for us.

They are very different from protoss, game design wise atleast.

There is more info about the faction on the Stormgate website.

Are you sure about that? There are two different rewards: there is “Preview Week” and “2024 Beta: Wave 1”. With the later one sounding like it will be earlier than 1 week before early access.

Edit: from their Kickstarter:

DISCLAIMER: Recipients of the “Preview Week” reward will gain access to the beta playtest approximately one week prior to Early Access launch. Recipients of the “2024 Beta: Wave 1” reward are expected to gain access to the beta playtest in February 2024.

Let’s hope there are enough spots for them to not be gone in the first minutes and it is not locked behind the very expensive tiers.

It seems they have forgotten to send me an invite again …
