Why? I follow a lot of solo game developers who only use Discord and I completely understand them not wanting do deal with multiple platforms. They should focus on on the game.
- chneu 1y agoDiscord is horrible for this kind of stuff. There's a reason that GitHub and other type of sites exist Discord is walled and hard to search. If a channel or server closes then all that information is lost. Tons of data will be lost to discord when it goes down. Idk if you've ever tried to use discord for mods or other software but it sucks. It's confusing. Information isn't cataloged well. It's search sucks. It just isn't good for this kind of thing.
- Kiro 1y agoWhat kind of stuff? Gamers want to talk about the game and engage with the developers. GitHub must be the absolute worst alternative.
- chneu 1y agoI'm talking software and modifications to games. Stuff you have to download. Discord becomes a maze of random posts going back years with links to expired third party sites. Searching them is difficult and time consuming. Then it all changes based on which server you're on and how those people decided to do it, so none of your experience from the previous server transfers.
