Hi everyone! Just wanted to put out a general notice about the Discord linked.

The Discord server is a combination of my own personal art/stream community, and my game jam community. I found it difficult to maintain both spaces separately, thus I've combined them to ensure they remain active! I know that everyone might not want to participate in both, so both sections are separated by two different roles. You can gain either or both roles by checking "Channels & Roles" at the top of the server.

If you only want to participate in the game dev/game jam portion of the server/community, please select "Game Dev/Jam Community Section" only! This will give you access to important channels and all game dev/game jam related channels. If you only have this role, you won't have any of the community channels cluttering the server for you.

If you choose "Pinuwuk's Community Section" you will see more of my personal community surrounding art and Twitch, which is more of a casual hang out space that encompasses more than game jams/game dev stuff. Even if you only select the game jam section, you will still have access to community spaces like voice calls for work sessions, watch parties, etc. so don't worry about missing out on any fun activities!

I just wanted to clarify this since there's been some confusion when people joined. I don't have any personal feelings on whether or not people choose one or both, especially since I made the roles this way because I know not everyone is interested in either side, so don't feel weird about not wanting to participate in everything!

This Discord space will be used for all future jams, so feel free to stick around after the jam and share any progress of your game work in between. Aside from this current jam, we have another jam estimated for January, then more in March, June & September!

Also one last note -- I don't mind people joining and leaving every so often, but those who repeatedly join then leave shortly after multiple times in a short time span will be banned from the server for suspected bot activity! We want to ensure the community is safe, and that there is no one joining to solicit things/scrape information. If you feel you have been misjudged as a bot, please reach out to me directly and we can get things sorted!

Take care and happy jammin'!
