## Testing

- Two waves: Alpha (small, early, expect wipes, bug reports wanted) and Beta (larger, the full story through Act V, load tests). Alpha testers also get into the Beta.
- Testing is free. Sign up at https://scorvane.net/#signup with an email, a character name, the wave and the platform.
- Each sign-up gets a tester code (format SCV-XXXX-XXXX). Players enter it once in the game (title screen or pause menu) and it is tied to their Scorvane account, so it works with Steam and any other platform they link later.
- The first email asks testers to confirm their address with one click; invites and Steam keys go only to confirmed addresses.
- Wave dates are not set; testers are emailed when their wave opens.
- Testers can ask to be removed from the list at any time.
