I'd love to help out with the beta - I'm a big fan of the original.

 

As the subject says, I've bought the pre-order on Steam and I'm not sure if there's a route to join you beta folks.

 

Cheers.

You should be able to in the Backer Portal- put in $20 and a Backer Beta CD key pops out

 

Your forum account should work for the backer stuff as well.

Pretty sure the only way to get access was to back at a tier that gave you access or added the beta access add-on to your pledge. Backing is done now so no I don't think there is a way.

 

It's only a couple of months till release tho.  

You can get a backer to get a beta key for you. That's probably the only way.

Hmm... Volunteers queue up here?...  Would be much appreciated!

Sure, if you trust me with your 20 bucks.

 

Must warn you that the beta is just a small slice of a side area and has a lot of issues. I don't personally think it's worth it.
