Will there be a way to buy this game outside of the kickstarter? I missed it...  

When will it be possible to buy a digital copy, through the site itch.io?

I am working on an alternative way to pre-order the game. A lot of people are asking about this so it's high on the priority list.

To download the copy itself-- I'd say in several months. I want all the digital releases to somewhat coincide with the time people start getting their carts shipped and received. I am currently estimating February.
