This weekend?
We are inches away from having our core feature list implemented and we are trying to sand enough rough edges off of that for it to be releaseable. Don't hold us to it; but we would like to upload something you can download during this weekend (Remember that 11:59 Sunday night (in Hawaii (are there any teams between HI and the Intl Date Line?)) is still part of this weekend  ).
There certainly will still be some rough edges, nice-to-have features that aren't in, and robot controls that will deserve further tuning (to get them to feel "right"); but the initial release should be playable and should be mature enough to help folks start getting useful insights into gameplay pacing, strategy, scouting, etc.
