SF Game Development is excited to be hosting an event during SF Tech Week with a hands-on session from Discord on building community around your game. Don't miss this unique opportunity to learn from an industry expert, who will take the stage at 7:00 pm. Building Your Discord Server Through Every Stage of Game Development Anthony Tešija The best game communities start long before launch day. Learn how to build a community and evolve it through your game's alpha, release, and beyond. We'll cover channels, roles, events, moderation, and how to bring players straight from your game into your community and keep them engaged. Anthony will walk through the four stages every game passes through -- in development, alpha/beta, release, and post-release -- and what your server should actually look like at each one: why starting minimal beats over-building, how forum channels turn scattered feedback into organized bug reports, how community invites can auto-assign your beta testers, and how Rich Presence and bots can bridge your game and your server to turn players into organic marketing.
