Method for Leveling UpCreating StructureCommunity FeedbackTALKING POINTSTeam SubmissionsAnonymityHygieneExamplesBrightrock GamesFound it really hard to test some of the thingsthe discord guys sent over.So there were some bugs from the discordgroup that came through ok, kind of balancetype bugs relating to low level mechanics andcharacters, but there were some really weirdbehaviour ones that they struggled to describe- i ended up having to chat with them over twodays then reproducing it from scratch anyway.It would be way much better to have arepository on the discord page to submit fileswith it, like saves movies and pictures. In fact,it'd be much better if they could just drop filesonto the page like in google mail or something.This would save me hours and days of muckingaround.It would be great toinclude adding files tocomments to maketestingQ& Athem easier.
