Letting Someone In

This sprint is about letting someone in. At the end of it, the first Legacy Founder gets into the game, after a short check that everything they will meet is ready.

“This sprint is about letting someone in.”

Getting in comes first. A founder who has been admitted can create an account straight from their claim link, without an invite code, and the panel after claiming says how many Opals were added and what the balance is now. A new program's Collection shows its founders, the voucher waiting, and what happens next. If anything goes wrong on the way, the sign-in page and the error pages say how to reach us.

The beta invitation says plainly what to expect: an early beta under active development, where testers help shape the game and every opinion is welcome. The community feed is being reworked for them, with team updates first, tags to browse, answered questions you can search, and a place for ideas and feedback where each one is marked with what happens to it.

Inside the game, fast forwards sit beside Coins and Opals with the number left and when the next one comes back. Drop lots say plainly whether you are leading or outbid. Coming back after a while opens on what changed, with one clear next step, and a notification centre gathers everything waiting on you in one place.

Some keepers returning after an hour were being signed out, and that is being fixed. The game guide is being written chapter by chapter, starting with getting started, care, genetics and breeding.
