wouldn’t it be 100x better if the same thing was accessible on the public web and searchable?
Comment on Game developers desperate for you to join their Discord "server"
bytesonbike@discuss.online 1 week agoI was like OP. I fucking hate discord.
But then, this little indie game in early access had a bug, but I couldnt find where to email them. So reluctantly, I joined shitty ass discord, sent the dev a screenshot, and within like 15 minutes, the dev was able to figure out the fix.
I stuck around and saw more threads. Updates, future fixes, other people doing speed runs, even a place people were making fan art.
And that’s when he realized Discord isnt so shitty, because that solo dev now has all this conversation and people motivating them.

Yep, it’s a practical choice that improves the quality of their work and their community engagement by promoting rapid feedback cycles.
BTW how’d you stumble upon the Indi game?
The thing that I suck at the most is advertised out what I’m making, and it’s hurt me, a lot…

But then discord sold all his data to GenAI

From the perspective of the indie dev who was able to make a life, career, and grow his audience… Id think they’d be happy with that outcome.
