It's a preview build to hype up the release and to advertise the game

Hax. I am playing Alpha15, and it's amazeballs! You can start as Mechs now, poor Mech family who are misunderstood and just want to hug colonists.

I'm playing as a deer. My lack of hands limits gameplay but it's surprisingly zen-like.

I heard Alpha 16 is ready for the first person to bring Tynan a chocolate cake.

Looking at the Steam EA page for Rimworld, it says it will unlock "in approximately" 12 hours. Its currently 20 minutes to 10 p.m. here in Pacific time, so that would put its unlock at around 10 a.m. Pacific time/1 p.m. Eastern or 5 p.m. GMT.

I don't know if we'll get e-mails with our keys at the exact same time, or maybe just before, or maybe just after.

HOLY CRAP !!! Chibi, you nearly gave me a heart attack.
I have steam, but I don't use it very much and it took me a while to figure out you mean Early Access.

Please refrain from using EA in conjunctere with games I love.
