The build before anyone else
Development builds as they are cut, with the physics still being tuned. Rough, frequent, and yours to break.
Developer Test · by invitation
Be an early tester
Before the Early Alpha there is a Developer Test: a raw build handed to a small group of creators and modders who can take rough edges and still give useful feedback. Applications are read one by one.
A line to the developer
A private Discord channel where bug reports and feedback go straight to the person writing the code, not to a form.
Your name in the game
Early testers are credited. Modders get the tools and documentation first; testers get a channel where a repro turns into a fix.
Applying needs an account: the decision, the build invite and the NDA are all tied to it.
