A 500-member community reveals an NFT entry point
Background: The recent playtest night showed the studio that newcomers and veteran players can experience the same match differently, and the community is growing. Today: On Sunday, a community member counted 500 people in Discord, with 30% having joined because of NFTs. Impact and next: The count added a concrete view of the community’s makeup and reminded the team not to assume everyone shared the same interest.

Background: The recent playtest night showed the studio that newcomers and veteran players can experience the same match differently, and the community is growing. A member wanted to learn where new arrivals came from so the team could decide whether next week’s conversation should begin with market talk, NFTs, or the game itself.
Today: On Sunday, a community member counted 500 people in Discord, with 30% having joined because of NFTs. The share made the team realize that many members had not come to the game first. The Night Watchman suggested asking what they expected before deciding how to present the studio’s game direction.
Impact and next: The count added a concrete view of the community’s makeup and reminded the team not to assume everyone shared the same interest. A group of 500 still needed better ways to listen; what members really wanted from NFTs or games remained to be clarified through later conversations.
