Join Theorycraft Games executive producer Jon Belliss as he talks through the entire development journey of SUPERVIVE, including choosing to develop in the open with a playtesting community since just a few months in; why Theorycraft chose Discord as their primary community development platform; and how they use Discord to power their development, feedback, and community strategy.
Takeaway
