Episode Name:
Building Communities That Match Your Game
Episode Description:
We’ve all heard the advice: build a following and usually, that turns into building a community. More often than not, that community defaults to a Discord server, regardless of the game or the audience it’s meant to serve.
The problem is, what works for one game doesn’t automatically work for another.
Today, we’re digging into how community needs, interests, and expectations change depending on the intended audience, and how teams can build more engaging and sustainable communities without forcing players into spaces or systems that don’t actually fit.
