[Guide] How to support Skylords Reborn

[Kapo]

HOW TO SUPPORT

Not so rarely new Skylords ask a simple question on Discord or the forums: How can I help? As we all wish for more players, there are things you can do to help to make Skylords Reborn succeed. Skylords Reborn can be supported through many actions, some of them are just two minutes for some clicks, others are a long-term commitment.

Important Disclaimer: This guide does not rank people by importance - these are suggestions how to help the game succeed, ranked by their needed involvement level. Also, you don't have to “climb this ladder” to become part of the Skylords Reborn team.

Hopefully some of these suggestions speak to you, and inspire you to take some action:

 

 SOLDIER
Quick Tier - the most helpful clicks to settle in

• Help drive the most essential metric by subscribing to the official Skylords YouTube channel, and like the trailer.
• Join the Skylords Discord to stay on top of news, and help build an enjoyable community.
• Subscribe to the other official Skylords Reborn socials: Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and TikTok.

 CHAMPION
Basic Tier - become a part of the community

• Subscribe to BattleForge content creators, and like their videos if you enjoy them.
• Participate in events - not just for prizes, but to support event hosts.
• Make sure beginners are welcomed properly: Answer questions, and play multiplayer maps with them.
• Read the monthly Community Update and help spread correct information about the state of the project.
• Interact with forum posts or Discord messages through likes, emoticons etc. - the creators will appreciate that.
• Make a proper bug report when you encounter a bug or crash.
• This rarely happens, but: report rule violations, either ingame or on the #contact-staff Discord channel.
• Suggest the game to people you know that will enjoy a RTS/TCG game, but make sure you coordinate with the Skylords team Outreach Coordinator when contacting high profile people or outlets.

 HERO
Dedicated Tier - invest some time to make the Skylords experience better

• Accompany some Twitch streamers, while the community is still small, one viewer more or less makes a huge difference.
• Participate in the votes or share your decks on the SMJ community deck section.
• Become an educator: Help others understand core concepts like void power or faction mechanics, and give advice on expert maps on the ingame strategy channel or on the deckbuilding channel on Discord.
• Write a beginner guide or a deck building/strategy guide on the forum, or a more general one like the one you are reading right now.
• Create something: make a painting, a graphic, a short clip, a song, a text, a meme, an animated GIF or just some cookies, and share it in the art, video or meme channel.
• Become a sponsor of a community contest/event to beef up its prize pool.
• Join the discussion and give quality feedback on the Balance Discord.
   

 SKYLORD
 Invested Tier - halfway down the rabbit hole

• Become a Contributor: There are several roles that don't require you to join the team, like Map Tester, Translator, Proofreader, Art Critique, or Internal Tester.
• Get involved into more detail-focussed Discords, like lore, descriptions, mapmaking, or rPvE.
• Help maintain the Skylords Reborn Wiki by either adding or updating articles.
• Create an enjoyable community map.
• Host an event for other Skylords to enjoy, be it PvE, PvP or something else.
• Contribute to Skylords Open Source projects.
• Become a content creator on YouTube, or start to stream the game on Twitch.

 

Maybe this rather long list inspired you to help in one way or another. 

As a final suggestion: If you have free resources, you might be interested in joining the Skylords Reborn team and directly work on the game to make it better! Please be aware that almost everybody thinks “I'm not good enough” at first. Don't let that stop you! There are loads of different positions for nearly every skill set. 
 

If you have any suggestion about something I missed, please write it in a comment down below, so I may add it!

And even beyond the Skylord/Invested Tier lies the Kapo tier. (It has a boot as icon 🙃)

Thanks for the guide!

I could be pinged if the team needs an art critique for something (composition, light, color theory, anatomy, perspective, etc).  Didn't see it on the contributor list though, so guess not
