And it deserves new thread because it is awesome.
First, how to get it:
All backers from Baron and up, both on Kickstarter and on:
http://kingdomcomerpg.com/pledges/#tier
automatically get steam key for it.
It is 2.4GB download, 4GB when installed.
What does the alpha contain?
One small village (called Samopše) and a piece of surroundings including beautiful forest. Two miniquests and some (unvoiced) dialogue. NPC Live cycle and day/night changes.
There was a livestream with creative director and community manager, which was an excersise in unintended hilarity:

After the first alpha update on 19.12.2014, there is also another larger quest and alchemy that can be performed, plus some bugs got fixed.
How it runs on my system?
1080p + very high preset (maximum), I get around 45fps. That is on 2500K@4ghz, AMD 280X, 8GBRAM.
Pretty good for unoptimized alpha (extremely unoptimized - they only used nVidias up until now!).
There are some graphical bugs on AMD cards, namely water shader is pink, but that will be fixed and otherwise the alpha is stable and working.
Gamersyde uploaded fantastic 1080p+60fps video:

Developers intend to update the alpha every few months with new features as they get finished. Next update should be before or after Christmas time.
Here are some screenshots by Kingdom Come forum folks:
Anyone else test it ?
