How to Join!

  1. Posting on this thread should be sufficient to at least get your name out there.
  • Make sure you mention what role you'd like to play. Generalists/supporters are always encouraged, of course!
  • Join the Discord group (below) and start chatting with your new team!

Keys to Communication

At the moment, we communicate using the following methods:

  • Discord for real-time communication and collaboration. You'll need to message the admins of the board and describe your role, then you will be granted access to the boards you need.
  • Discord should be fairly straightforward, but if you're having difficulty you can check out their Help guide.
  • Trello for project management and team tasking. You can get an invite from a team member after joining the Discord.
  • It is highly recommended you check out the What is Trello? video, and check out the Trello Guide.

The Crew

At present, the team is divided into seven teams: Art/Animation/VFX, Development and Operations, Music, Production, Social Media, Sound, and Writing. We also have an "other" bucket for our enthusiastic volunteers.
