If we successfully deliver that we will figure out money next.Ī (Stanislav): The first key thing to point out is that on Vent, Teamspeak, and Mumble, everyone has their own server. We’re not stressed looking for money - we’re focused on building an amazing product and bringing real value to you guys. This is the second company I’ve started and the last one raised funding and did very well. Selling themes, sticker packs, fancy elaborate emoji, sound packs, different sound effects, etc, are still up in the air but it’s what we’re planning to do.Īs a note, part of the reason we’re not looking to make money right now is that we have raised funding from VCs in Silicon Valley. Something like the Unreal Tournament announcer packs. One example is what Stan just mentioned: TTS features like selling voice packs. Our plan is to sell optional cosmetic things. Deep integrations and overlays and slash commands and bots - all free. Almost all the new features will be free. So everything you’re using right now will stay free. Our plan is to keep the functionality - the core usability - free. Stan can talk about how much servers cost and scaling it.

Q (Ihm): What’s the plans as far as covering server costs and such go? You’ve said it’s free so how do you plan on covering costs and making money back?Ī (Jason): So I’ll talk about how we plan to make money. There’s other more important things but it’s on our radar. There’s ways to expand it but it’s not at the top of our list. If a person is unable to talk, maybe, but in other voice apps, people like to keybind certain phrases. We also plan on supporting different voice packs.Ī (Jason): Do you think the usage of TTS as a feature is a side effect of not having a great overlay? Would you agree with that Stan? If you know who is showing up or who’s talking then TTS is less important.Ī (Stanislav): Depends on people’s usage. You’ll be able to choose which channel you want TTS on. We obviously can’t take it away so we’re gonna work on thinking it through and making it better. Also, are there any plans for a “mini” mode that just shows who’s currently speaking (a bit like what Skype has)?Ī (Stanislav): The caveat to this feature is that it was added a week ago and we added it quickly in response to a user who requested it, so it’s not in a form where much design went into it. Q (Mizrahi): Will there be any expansion on the text-to-speech area? Maybe a way to assign certain text-to-speech voices to certain members of your server so that you don’t need to hear the “Member says: blablabla” bit. We have a big focus on performance so this will not take away any experience from playing your game. You’ll have a couple of little avatar icons. Heads can pop in and light up when they start chatting over voice. You’ll see the written message and you can click on them to respond. Imagine circular avatars that pop in on the side. The vision is to have chat heads similar to how Facebook’s mobile chat heads function. We want to add a Discord UI that overlays your game so you can see who is talking in your voice channel and displays direct messages sent to you so you can respond without ever leaving the game.
So, one of the cool things we’re working on is overlays. Jason, do you want to talk about overlays?Ī (Jason): Sure. We also want to add slash commands to search items on XIVDB and post them into Discord chat.įinally, other things like having the “game you’re playing” provide more information like the character you’re playing, your level, your zone, your activity, etc. We want to have Discord server owners to sync with FC rosters so permissions are automatically set up. We want to link your Lodestone profile so Discord will show who you are in game. We want to integrate with Final Fantasy once we get bugs cleaned up. You could call them extra credit features. Stan, do you want to mention some bonus features?Ī (Stanislav): All these things are up in the air. Heavensward comes out soon and we’re starting to reach out to the whole Final Fantasy community to get more people in and kinda get Discord to the next level.

We’re working really hard on mobile to get full voice chat and functionality including attachments and account creation.Īfter that, we’re working towards getting the word out. Our next phase is to finish the feature set for mobile. Q (uppfinarn): Can you tell us a little about your roadmap?Ī (Jason): What we’ve been working on is getting discord to a place where it is good enough to use and play games with friends.
If you weren’t able to make it, or just want to relive the magic, below is a transcript (albeit not word for word). It was truly awesome getting the chance to interact with you all and answer some of your questions. Thanks to everyone who attended the AMA with the Discord developers today.
