I wasn't planning on getting a Discord, no.
There's a way to subscribe by email, on itch.io, and on Patreon, so I thought there's plenty of ways to get notified about the game. If you want to subscribe to get an email about each new release, go here: http://eepurl.com/hbPvrb
Same with conversing with people, I enjoy getting comments on itch.io, and Patreon, and even DMs on Patreon. So I think that's enough options already.
