Poll: Would you Participate in a TPE Discord Server? (Patreon)

For a while now I've been debating the idea of running a Discord server dedicated to the game. As it stands, there isn't much of a place to talk about The Proteus Effect other than comment threads on my posts, and that isn't exactly the best medium for conversations.

The thing is, though, I'm not sure how much interest there is in such a thing. First, I don't know how many folks want to participate in a community centered around the game, and second, I don't know how many of you actually use Discord.

With this poll, I'm trying to get an idea of how many people would actually use a Discord server if one were available. Before I get to the poll question, though, let me outline how I envision setting it up:

• The server would be restricted to Patrons only. This is partly to keep out spammers and other bad actors. It would also ensure community members have some 'skin in the game', so to speak .
• My current thinking is that a $1 Patron would see the same stuff as a $20 Patron (i.e., there wouldn't be any 'secret' channels for higher tiers). The intent is to provide a modestly-vetted place to discuss the game, not necessarily to reward bigger donors with greater access.

The channels and stuff could evolve based on what you guys would like; I imagine I'd initially set up channels for walkthroughs, plot/character discussion, art discussion, maybe a WIP channel, a channel for discussion of other games, and a general chat.

I haven't exactly figured out what my own level of involvement would be; I'd start off being the moderator, I guess, but hopefully the fact that it's Patrons only would cut down on the need for that sort of thing. I would find it helpful to discuss game-related things and ideas sometimes, and it would be nice to get more feedback on the game, but I wouldn't want using it to become a distraction from actually creating the game.

So, here's the poll question:

How much would you use a TPE Discord server, if one were available?

Please let me know if you have any other thoughts! I'll have another progress update a bit later in the week. Thank you for your support!
