Hello there fisherpeople!
We are hitting a small but significant milestone for the growth of our studio: the official Discord server for Studio Carota is open!
What Discord server?
Actually, it has been open for a couple of months; we simply didn't announce it in grand style. We were a little self-conscious about the server and its appeal, and instead opted to focus on the development of Loan Shark.
Now that Loan Shark is almost completely finished (Nicola is hunting down the remaining bugs as I'm writing this announcement), we feel it is time to shine some light to the server.
Why a server?
"Because every great indie studio has one, duh."
Wait! It was a joke... to a certain degree. It is true that a lot of great indie studios have a Discord server, because Discord is a great way for developers to interact with their community.
That's our goal, really. We've seen people noticing us and our game. We would love to hear from those people and get to know them better. We would love to get to know you better. Talking about our games, the games you like, the games we like.
Discord is not so much a bridge to a community as it is a base to build a community upon. We use it for everyday work, for connecting with friends, for playing online... why not use it also to reach out to you, our players (current and future)?
Here's the server!
Let us know what you think about this initiative. Maybe on the server?
And if you are in the mood for clicking links, you could also go try the Loan Shark demo:

Happy fishing and thank you for reading!
