Just wondering why I haven't seen any gameplay footage from the latest wave of Alpha invites. When you get invited, are you told to not stream/make videos of the game?

External link →Yes, this is a closed playtest period under NDA, not one of the typical late-stage marketing beta tests you'd see for a nearly-finished game.
The goal of this closed alpha is for our playtesters to help make the game better by providing feedback directly to our devs--it's not meant to be a vehicle for them to make content. We'll be excited to watch people stream Stormgate or make videos when it's further along, but we're going to wait until the time is right.
For the record, I love the approach. Something that a lot of developers lack is connection/rapport with their player base. This sets the precedent very early that you value your player's feedback and trust them with your product. I'm very excited to jump into the closed-alpha next week!
We look forward to your feedback!
What about sharing screen on discord with friends, being 100% sure that nobody will record?
That’s not OK. The friends won’t have signed an NDA and we would likely see leaks that way.
