All, based on the interest shown by everyone in the last thread I've posted, OdinZAte and I have worked together to create an extension of our Discord community to unite game developers, creative types (for assets) game testers and game streamers. We've set up rules, vetted streamers and we're now ready to open shop.
Here are the rules, in case you're interested:
RULES: Our main rule is simple: Don’t be a cunt. A lot of people are opening themselves up here and sharing your creative project is scary. Don’t be a dick about it.
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, here are some guidelines on how to interact with this server:
DEVS:
If you’d like your game STREAMED (can be demo, beta version, or a full game):
Post in the stream-my-game channel. Your game must be downloadable through steam, itch.io, or another reputable game site. Google drive links are HIGHLY discouraged. (Don’t click on links from people you don’t know.) While not required, it is polite to post on social media a link to the stream or some other form of promotion. It is also considered polite to join the stream (if you can) so you can answer questions, explain mechanics, or just enjoy someone playing your game. While offering keys for games is also encouraged, it is not required. (However don’t expect people to jump at streaming your game.)
If you’d like a game to be play tested ONLY:
Post in the test-my-game channel. Your game must be downloadable through steam, itch.io, or another reputable game site. Google drive links are HIGHLY discouraged. (Don’t click on links from people you don’t know.) If your feedback form isn’t available on the game’s site, please include it with the gaming link. Don’t have one yet? Google forms are free and easy. You can also ask your fellow devs for help in creating one.
This site, is of course, not meant to replace itch.io or the comments section here, but to instead give streamers and devs a place to work and talk together.
Feel free and join! (the link is permanent, so don't worry about it expiring). Of course, if you've published a request to submit your game in the previous one and it hasn't happened yet, feel free to join the group and do it there - we have a lot more people willing and ready to go!
