What happens after 8 October?

So, I am tempted to buy the Deluxe version for Beta access. Which runs until 8 October, it says. What then happens thereafter? Can I continue to play, or do I have to wait then until the game comes out? Because that is scheduled to happen only on 5 November, right?
 
You will have to wait till full launch in November. Also, you can't be sure to keep your zoos built during beta.
 
As far as I know you can play until the 8th then the game is unplayable until the release. Unsure if zoos created during beta remain or are deleted upon release of game

The Beta ends 8 October and after that you won't be able to play until 5 November. This might sound like a shame but this timeframe gives our developers time to really focus on all the feedback and reports that have been shared, to ensure the game is in the best possible state ready for you to enjoy it on 5 November!

Zoos and saves during the Beta will be wiped. We would like to keep Blueprints but we cannot guarantee these will remain as we might need to clear them for compatibility reasons with the final build.

Thank you for clarifing this for us! Xx
 
Thanks all for the fast replies! Even though they don't make my decision easier... It would be good to at least be able to play the offline elements of the last beta, but well. And totally understand that saves would be wiped, too difficult to ensure compatibility.

Honestly the beta is a little buggy but fun! I am very much enjoying the game. I personally only bought the deluxe for the extra animals and had no intention of participating in bug finding but I have been reporting them as I find them. So even though the game gets taken away would you like the extra animals the deluxe provides? (Not in the beta though btw)
 
The main reason why I haven't taken the time to build anything that isn't just prefab buildings or workshop buildings, because I don't really want to build something and have it erased after the beta ends..
