Non disclosure agreement
We're not fan of becoming this formal, but please understand that it will greatly hurt both Godhood and Abbey Games if any information or files leak out before the game is published as it will be that much harder to build anticipation for a successful release. We basically expect you to keep everything that you get access to (images, passwords, files, stories, etc.) to yourself. As an exception you may freely discuss everything in the closed Alpha discussion group and in private with both Abbey Games developers and other players of the Alpha version of the game. In fact, we expect you will do this, because this is why run this Alpha in the first place! We want to get your feedback and to allow you to discuss it among other players that are playing the Alpha as well.
To ensure that you won't disclose anything related to the Alpha outside of the group of people that is playing it or developing it, we need you to agree to the following non-disclosure agreement. Only then can we grant you access to the Alpha. This assures us that you will not share the code or contents of the Alpha without our express permission. Needless to say we will keep your info private, and not use it for anything but this agreement. Again, feel free to not sign it, but without a signed agreement, we can't share the Alpha with you.
Please copy the following text into the answer box below and add your info between the [brackets].
