A new face for 'Disc Golf VR'
Gooday all!
While developing some of the more concrete features that will enable this project to gain a more official standing and formulating plans for monetization, it became apparent that Disc Golf VR needed some branding and marketing love, and that starts with a proper name (as DGVR was always temporary, anyway). Something that is memorable, relevant, and most importantly searchable.
So, I am here to introduce to you the new name for the game.
Disc Benders: Ace Run
Or, you can just call it Disc Benders for short!
It's the thought that all players will be disc benders, being able to bend and curve the disc to their will (Kind of like an 'Airbender'). There are a lot of factors that go into naming something, and I had to build in some leeway for scenarios where the game expands beyond disc golf, although that is and may well be the sole/primary focus for Disc Benders. If we do things right, 'throwing a disc in VR' might be a long-term mechanic that could go many ways into many modes.
I hope you all like it!
This has spawned a litany of materials, logos, fonts that will be used from here on out. Check it!
Since the support and popularity of this game concept has grown so great and quickly, and in light of this new face lift, I have decided to structure everything under a single development and publishing arm, that I am calling Free Fall Studios. All content, updates, posts, videos, and social media outlets will now be under this guise. So make sure to keep your finger on the pulse for any further progress :)
The destinations for the game, namely SideQuest and Itch will stay the same, but all materials will be swapped out for the new ones!
Here's what the logo for the new studio looks like:
Energized by these new foundations, a spree of marketing campaigns can now take form, so please do follow Free Fall on your preferred social sites:

Hope everyone is doing well amid Covid and other concerns, 2020 has been a crazy year so far. But creating a great VR disc golf experience is a passion I will be chasing under these new names. Cheers to all!
Best,
Alex (aka FreeFallStudios)

I did get an Invite Expired message when I followed your Discord link: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001556852
Please do try this one: https://discord.gg/YfQRmrt
Yep, that worked. Thanks!
I really respect that you are continuing to forge ahead with what seems to be an exceptionally strong wind behind your sails. The fact that you're making such progress doing all the artwork, all the advertising, and all the coding as a solo operation speaks volumes to your overall (and wide-scope!) skill level. Kudos, and keep up the good work! Somehow the underscore at the end of your Twitter handle amuses me, too. :)
Hey Shdw, I messaged you on SideQuest, but here might be good too - The full release of Disc Benders went live last night! Check it out - https://sidequestvr.com/app/594
