We developers definitely need a private chat for discussing things that can’t be made public. Also it is a much friendlier atmosphere for developers to collaborate quickly on something or ask help about getting the game compiled. We do have a publicly readable forum where important decisions should be made: https://forum.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/ however it doesn’t see a lot of activity going on. It’s more difficult to make big responses that contribute to a topic (see the recent discussion here: https://forum.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/t/using-microbe-mechanics-to-create-continuity-between-stages/614/6) than just quickly chat about something. So while I’d also like to see us using the dev forums more (and even the community forums as not many developers reply here) it is a hindrance on certain kind of work and when we are used to just casually discussing ideas on discord it’s a bit of a jump to make a post about it on the dev forum.
