Hi UWExplorers! No, this is not an update for the slideshows, but after some time with a more stable connection (i hope it stays that way) and some technical troubles, i can say that i have discord! Well sort of. Sometimes it works, sometimes i get messages a bit later. But over time it's getting better, even if i can't really stay behind the service all the time.
So let's get a couple of things straight: some people already told me that the stuff i produce gets around in Discord, and i'm really happy about that! Share 'em around! If you guys are happy, i am too!
But it also came to my attention that i might even get deeper than that (no pun intended!) and build my own server. That's why i ask you guys: Yay or Nay? I made a poll about this very thing:
But Longing! What are you going to do with a server?!
Well, of course the first idea is just to be closer to my best fans. Share ideas around, and maybe keep you guys updated on how my work is going on. As quality rises, i'll take longer to produce anything. Of course, with a discord chat, i could say every and each day, week, what's going on.
Also, with Discord I COULD distribute a bit of my tools bit by bit, since i simply CAN'T manage to make a big pack of the stuff for now.
Then, there's a matter of a more exclusive bunch. As some of you guys know, i have a patreon, as people who joins there are called Deep UWExplorers - this gives them the right to have little sneak peeks about my latest works and projects. So i COULD make a server just for that, or a channel dedicated to these users. I'm not 100% certain how to make it work, but i've seen that Discord can do a job like this. (Also i'd use it just for the 1$ tier onward, since all that suffices to have a sneak peek is that amount)
As far for now i have an idea to make it an invite-only place (you have to ask in the PMs). That is, for a couple of reasons. Both are personal, but i can share just one: i'm not the best chat talker ^^''' i tend to stay by myself most of the time. So i won't really chat A LOT, but i can definitely talk about my hobby in there.
Heeh just rambling quite a bit here. Lemme know what you think! This is so extremely new for me and i like to take very careful steps.
Of course if the "Join our server" wins, i'll also invite you guys to give me some servers to join. See how it goes, or if i gets scared enough to just lurk all the time, ah ah! ^^''''
For now i think i'll be using it with a few selected people, so i can test it properly! Don't worry, once i got this server up and running, and it's a semi-open one, we'll freely talk about anything you want ^^
