It's clearly stated in the game description, and there's only so much you can do to inform someone of the details. If people are't going to take two seconds to read the basic description, then not much else will help them.

Yes, although it is recommended you clearly state this game is an alpha.

Moved to feedback forum, and your images did not post correctly so I had to remove them.

[quote who="TheJackTrades" reply="4" id="3451747"] Quoting Lucky Jack, reply 1 Nothing has been said other than that they will give us notice.
