FAQ

: Communities for game developers and designers at indie studios and beyond. Discord is the primary hub, with communities for feedback on prototypes, finding collaborators like artists and musicians, getting indie game jobs, and talking craft across all stages of development.
: Hive Index lists 8 Game Design discord servers on Discord. Most listings with size data are large (50%) or medium (25%). We only have a handful of listings so far, so treat these numbers as directional. The main Game Design topic page covers every platform we track for this topic.
: Live Chat is the most common (100%). Others that show up often include online/offline events and job board. Use the feature filters above the list to narrow results.
: All 8 listings on this page are free to join (no paid membership or application gate listed). Access rules can still change on the community side.
: On Hive Index, the default Popular sort surfaces Work With Indies, Game Dev Universe, thegameHERS, and OpenGameArt first. Popularity reflects visitor interest in communities on the site, not a universal quality score. Use the sort menu for Ratings, Largest, or Newest.
: Game Dev Universe has the highest review scores on this page. Switch the sort to Ratings to see the full order. Reviews come from Hive Index members and reflect their experience, not our editorial ranking.
: Listings are submitted by community builders and researchers, reviewed for topic relevance, and updated with platform, feature, member, review, and traffic data where available. Member counts are approximate. Popular reflects visitor interest in communities on the site, with richer profiles breaking ties. Ratings, Largest, and Newest use review scores, reported member counts, and listing age instead.
