A new Kickstarter update unveils a January 6th release date for CONSORTIUM, the upcoming first-person RPG inspired by Amen: The Awakening, Cavedog's long-ago cancelled shooter. They were planning to release the game before Christmas until Valve warned them that launching during the (spoiler alert) Steam Christmas Sale is ill-advised, so they are using the extra time for further polish, and promise a patch for the beta before Christmas for their backers, saying this "will include well over 100 bug fixes and polish items."
