Developer Community

From first submission to community trust.

Demo Disk helps independent developers move from a reviewed project listing to thoughtful visibility, player interest, and community connection.

The Bridge

Demo Disk is the discovery layer. Discord is the community layer.

The website gives each project a clear public presence. Discord gives developers and players a place to talk, follow progress, share feedback, and build trust over time.

01

Submit Clearly

Start with the official submission form. Share your project, links, status, tools, and what kind of support you are looking for.

02

Get Reviewed

Demo Disk reviews submissions for clarity, relevance, safe links, and honest presentation before anything is published.

03

Become Discoverable

Approved projects can appear on Demo Disk so visitors can learn about the game and follow official links.

04

Join the Conversation

Discord helps turn a listing into a relationship through feedback, updates, community discussion, and trusted roles.

Discord Roles

A simpler community structure built around developers, supporters, and game discovery.

Demo Disk’s Discord now focuses on a small set of clear roles. Each role describes how someone participates in the community without creating unnecessary status layers or confusing tiers.

Reviewed Project

Listed Developer

For developers with at least one project reviewed and published on Demo Disk.

  • Project reviewed before publication
  • Public project listing on Demo Disk
  • Official links checked before approval
  • Can introduce listed projects, share updates, request feedback, and post support needs
Community Support

Developer Supporter

For people who want to help indie developers through feedback, playtesting, wishlists, encouragement, sharing, or thoughtful discovery.

  • Can respond to support requests and feedback requests
  • Can help test, discuss, and encourage listed projects
  • Can share useful resources when relevant
  • Focused on helping developers without turning the server into promotion noise

Discord Bridge

Where projects become conversations.

Demo Disk’s Discord is designed to help listed developers, developer supporters, and game explorers connect without turning discovery into noise. It is a space for feedback, updates, support requests, thoughtful questions, and community trust.

Listed Developers Introduce approved projects, share updates, request feedback, and tell the community what kind of support would help.
Developer Supporters Help indie projects through feedback, playtesting interest, wishlists, useful resources, sharing, and encouragement.
Game Explorers Discover smaller projects earlier, join game discussion, react to updates, and follow projects as they grow.

How It Works

The launch workflow is simple: submit, review, publish, connect.

Discord is connected to the review process. It does not replace review, and it is not a shortcut around project approval.

1

Submit your project

Use the official Demo Disk form and include clear project information, support needs, and at least one official project link.

2

Demo Disk reviews it

Submissions are checked for clarity, relevance, safe links, and honest presentation before anything is published.

3

Approved projects are listed

If approved, the project can appear publicly on Demo Disk so players and supporters can learn more through official links.

4

Discord extends the project pathway

If Discord was connected during submission, an approved developer may receive or claim the Listed Developer role. Other members can join as Developer Supporters or Game Explorers.
