was really great. was disappointed to not see a steam link so i'd know if there were updates. (nothing on itch facilitates keeping an eye on a game)
maybe by luck i'll see you on a subreddit or something. when you think about it, it's really bad planning on your part. you did the job of reaching a potential player.. and didn't put anything in to hook them into your update pipeline. so all that work to catch attention was completely wasted.
sorry but if a dev asks ppl to go on discord for game updates and info, i and any rational gamer on Earth is 100% out. absolutely 100%.
discord is a chat room. it is not a forum or streaming news bulletin board.
people who use it for those things are basically expecting ppl to log onto a chat room and scroll and search through thousands of pages of chat room logs for information.
and the fact that they don't understand this is always an excellent signal for how badly designed and managed the game will be
I tend to disagree. Most discords for games have a "anouncement role" and a specific channel for updates. I only get notified when there is an update for the game I am interested in. So i know I joined and that when there is something new or important i get notified and don't have to look for any info in thousands of messages. I can just go on with my life and when there is something new I get a nottification on my phone I can check it and that's it.
