That would be correct. No actual signed-in-blood promise date that
I've heard, which I expect means you've got at least a few months.

I've considered hexgrid for vector, hadn't thought about it for
cinematic (and hadn't written anything up about it anyway). You'd want
twelve-point movement--ie the ability to move along hex spines as well
as the hex grain--and some means of resolving which hex you're in if
there's any doubt. (which could be "slip to the outside of your turn"
or "if you're ending on a hex spine, roll 1- to slip left, 4-6 to move
right").
 And you'd want to compress the scale a bit unless you have a really
big hex map.  I'd suggest 2 or 3 mu per hex.
