Hmm, well, even if thy did allow you to test it, it would still be a few months before the game is even READY for testing, as even designing and putting in characters is going to take weeks, if not months. Not only that, but also the moves to input into the said characters, so that's most likely take even more time, so if they let you do it, it'll probably be sometime in 2016, maybe February or March for the first playable version.
