Hey LordBosk!
Glad to hear you've been enjoying your time with AHITR, we appreciate the kind words!
The schedule of releases for the game are as follows:
The Alpha build of a new version is released at the start of each month. About a week later the Beta build is released. Then after another week the Early Access version is released. Then about a month later this version goes free and public. This is our Patreon schedule, it then gets released here on Itch (and elsewhere) a tiny bit later.
There are Patreon exclusive rewards too (In-game content via dreams, voting on polls, Discord roles and our Patreon only channel where we drop sneak peaks and sometimes WiPs). You can also leave feedback or DM me if you have any issues or questions on Discord too!
In regards to your gameplay questions, if you swing by the Discord, can help you more in detail, if not lemme know!
Thanks again for your kind words and for taking the time to play AHITR!
