Howdy there folks! After a little over a month of closed testing, we're ready to open up the official Project Nexus Discord server to the world! This is a server exclusively for and about Project Nexus. If it's has anything to do with the game, we've got it. Come on down and chat about the game, share or view fan creations about the game, download mods for the game, catch Swain and Krinkles on a stream developing the game, or just join up and get (optional) pings for updates about the game!

For all your Project Nexus needs, join us at: https://discord.gg/BegDfepgkZ . Hope to see you there!
