Putting a call out for more approvers on @agonesdev development. If you've ever wondered what it takes to become an approver, it's actually not that mystical a process! It just takes time & effort ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป. DM me if think you are close, or you have questions!

New guide just dropped for managing Voice Chat with the @discord Social SDK! This is a fun one, since you have to setup a lobby first! Check out the guide for details ๐Ÿ‘€. We promised this to be published "after GDC" - which is still technically true ๐Ÿ˜†.

Now that the Discord Social SDK lets Discord friends message you in-game, we've added settings to control who can reach (or bug you? ๐Ÿ˜†) you while gaming. How much do you like your friends? ๐Ÿ˜ we'll let you decide. Check our new design guidelines ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป.

I'm still pottering on @agonesdev while lying in bed at night watching TV ๐Ÿ˜†. In the most recent release, I implemented the new Kubernetes sidecar containers pattern into Agones. It makes health checking โœจso muchโœจ easier and simpler.

@discord Combining that with video games ๐ŸŽฎ and what Discord currently has around game communities, and has built out with Quests, Activities and more, just made this a very natural fit, and something I'm super excited about getting stuck into.
