The system is simple from a user perspective. It took a little figuring out, so I was requested to write this documentation by my fellow organizers at Finnish Game Jam, so that it could be used for jams in the future.
Still, Discord can feel a little impersonal, and so we wanted to setup a way to let our participants choose roles and pronouns for themselves to make communication easier between participants and allow the users a level of customisation. Since the game jam is jointly run on-site and online, the server will be used extensively during the jam, as the central hub for brainstorming and communication. To me personally, it’s reminiscent of my teen days on the internet, of MSN Messenger, IRC and forums. It’s also popular among game companies as a way to build and communicate with fan communities. Discord is a communication platform, widely used by gamers, that is flexible, free, and has built-in support for video and audio chat channels.
I’m the Community Parent for Pride Game Jam HKI 2020, which means I am an admin on the jam’s Discord server.
