Correct. Our current release schedule is: 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 the Patreon schedule, it gets released every else later on. A bit more later on Itch with the recent changes to adult content.
If you have a Patreon account (free to make) you can grab the free version there a lot sooner than it would be here on Itch.
