@Jarmo This is an alpha after all. Simply having animations at this point is something, instead of characters that stand in nothing but a T-Pose like some other alphas that i have seen.

Excellent point. For the sake of playing devil's advocate, I'd also like to point out that I've been in plenty of Alpha's that ended up with issues that carried over into release that I thought would be "fixed up" by the time the game released.

Point example: One game I played in alpha, beta, and early release had limited video options for screen size. No biggie, I thought, it's alpha, they'll add more. release came, and....hmm nada. players complained, and they said that it hadn't been brought up much during the alpha/beta phase.

I've had plenty of those examples, so when I get involved in games pre-release, I tend to mention everything that I can with the caveat that it will probably be fixed prior to release...but just in case...

As someone who was deeply pledged into CoE, (I was know as Pteroguin) I think some of the things that provide hope to me for Fractured are;

No NDA - for true transparency
Reaching milestones
Minimalistic scope creep
Bugs that are reported get addressed quickly
A comprehensive and achievable vision
Responsive developers

At the end of the day I pledged as a backup/training area for my CoE community but time and time again Prometheus and crew show me why I should of pledged more here and less in CoE.

Ultimately - if one should pledge is a deeply personal question. I think they’re doing a great job and will achieve many if not all of their objectives.

+1. I've been in enough Alpha's to know what looks possible and what's a pipe dream. So far the dev's here seem to keep things on a realistic level. That being said, things happen. The best laid plans can turn into the worst of disasters sometimes. It's like investing in new stocks...you have to take a look at what they plan, what they have done, and how they are progressing, and then determine if the risk is worth it for you.
