Wolf Haus Games CEO discusses community-driven development for ‘Join Us’

Wolf Haus Games CEO Joe Dietsch discussed the development process of the upcoming open-world survival game, ‘Join Us’. The game features a premise where players build a cult in a decaying part of America, facing extraterrestrial and demonic threats.

Dietsch highlighted the studio’s rapid, low-bureaucracy approach to feature implementation. The developer utilizes a Discord community to integrate player requests directly into the game. This includes incorporating player-drawn artwork as in-game posters and using names provided by community members to populate the game’s non-player characters (NPCs).
