Community
Six places, each with its own rhythm. Pick the one that fits the hour and sit down with the rest of us.
Where the community gathers.
Discord
Design discussion, theorycraft, and the loudest room in the house. New things land here first.
Steam
The Steam page — wishlists, discussions, and beta key distribution when the gates open.
X
Short-form posts. Screenshots, quotations, the occasional argument.
YouTube
Combat cuts, devlog readings, and — eventually — the reveal trailer.
The slower conversation. Long threads, longer replies, no time pressure.
Bluesky
A quieter channel. Development-adjacent thoughts and answered questions.
The world votes, and the world changes.
Timefather treats the politics of its city-states as a live gameplay system. At the close of each chapter, a Referendum is raised to the entire server, seeded by player action and narrative pressure.
Outcomes reshape quests, factions, and zones permanently for the chapter that follows. Your ballot is not flavour — it is content design, put into the hands of the people living in the world.
Sample only — no ballot cast
“Shall the Accord of Arkanos be upheld?”
A sample Referendum, for illustration. No ballot has yet been cast. When the first one is raised, it will look something like this — only the tallies will be real.
