Hi everyone!

First of all, thank you so much for the incredible feedback and support. It keeps me incredibly motivated!

As we look toward the future of Capsule, I’d love to get your opinion on a few community updates. If you have a couple of minutes, I’d really appreciate your thoughts on these questions:

1. Comments vs. Forum

Do you prefer keeping this classic comments section as it is, or should I upgrade it to a dedicated Discussion Board (forum) here on Itch.io for easier bug tracking, support, and feature suggestions?

2. An External Forum

In the long run, my dream is to have a completely independent community forum for Capsule (similar to what Lemma Soft is for Ren'Py).

However, building and maintaining something like that is a huge amount of work, and realistically I can’t do everything alone while continuing development of the engine itself.

So I’m wondering if anyone in the community with web development experience would be interested in helping build, host, or set up an independent forum platform (such as MyBB, phpBB, etc.).

Any help — whether technical setup, administration, structure, or community management — would be a monumental help for the project!

3. The Website & Documentation

I’d also love to hear your feedback about the official website and the documentation.

What do you think of them so far?

  • Is the documentation clear enough?
  • Is anything missing or confusing?
  • Does it cover your current needs?

🌐 Check it out here: https://capsulevn.com

While I wait for your feedback, I’m heading right back to work on the upcoming systems.

Happy creating! 🚀

1. Upgrade to the DB forum, please. :-)

2. I may be able to help with this, so let me know when it's looking more likely timing-wise to tackle that.

3. One key thing is how the documentation is presented: one giant scrolling webpage with no search feature (beyond Ctrl-F) doesn't work for me (or for most serious users, I assume). I'd strongly recommend spinning off a sub-domain like docs.capsulevn.com and then using something like Docusaurus or BookStack or maybe even GitBook to create a more "formal" and structured documentation site.

Keep up the amazing work!

The forum is up and running, thanks to TheDivide who was discreet here but helped me immediately. I sent you the address by email, let me know if you received it, otherwise check your spam folder.

I feel a discord server would work a lot better than a forum in all honesty. Best part you can make a bug report section and make a "please help me" for those who are having questions or are struggling with areas of the program.

Thanks for the feedback! I totally get where you're coming from. Discord is great for real-time conversations, quick troubleshooting, and building a casual community.

That said, for a development tool like Capsule, I feel a forum has some important advantages. The biggest one is that discussions stay organized and searchable. Forum posts can be indexed by search engines, so if someone encounters the same issue or has the same question months later, they can often find the answer with a quick search. On Discord, useful information tends to disappear into the chat history, which often leads to the same questions being asked repeatedly.

That's why I'm currently leaning more toward a forum-based community: it makes support, bug tracking, and knowledge sharing much easier in the long run.

That said, I really appreciate the suggestion, and I wouldn't rule out creating a Discord server in the future—probably as a place for community chat, feedback, and general discussion alongside the forum.
