Well there wouldnt be much to play at the moment if we went for it right now. We're still setting up the basic mechanics and there are tons of underlying, very complex systems being laid in place. Right now combat isnt even in the game, but a basic version of it will be making its way in during next week. So yeah, not like we would get anything useful from people by doing it right now. But thats why we plan on releasing the alpha demo at the end of September (if its ready). It will be the vertical slice which people will play, which is exactly what youre saying :P
