In a blog post addressing fans who didn't read the Kickstarter backer update, Double Fine's Greg Rice explained that development has been progressing very quickly of late. The team has been growing steadily, and work reached a big milestone last week.
"The key milestone being that just last week we hit Alpha on both Shay and Vella's halves of Act 2," he wrote, "leaving just the big finale section until we can say the entirety of Act 2 is at Alpha!"

"The goal now is to get all the finale work done so we can hit Alpha on all of Act 2 by the end of the year. That means, as you may have guessed based on recent updates and documentary episodes, the Act 2 ship that will deliver the complete adventure is now looking like it will be early next year. The game is looking really good and the team is working super fast, but we just gotta give the game the time it needs to really deliver on everything we're hoping it will be."
The first act of the point-and-click adventure series released last January, and the next will continue the joint stories of Vella Tartine (Masasa Moyo) and Shay Volta (Elijah Wood). The game was funded on Kickstarter, raising $3.33 million of what was originally a $400,000 goal.
