Discord Developer/Engineer: Using Discord To Measure Community Health (Collaboration, Communication, and Prosocial-ity)

## About the role The Verse builds games and digital experiences that improve mental health, emotional wellbeing, and human connection. We're a global community of creators—game designers, developers, artists, scientists, storytellers, and students—united by a shared purpose: to make technology that helps people flourish. ## What We Do We design game-based therapeutics, immersive experiences, and playful tools that help people breathe better, feel better, relate better, and grow. Our work blends: - Game Design + Wellbeing Science - Emotional Regulation + Prosociality - Ritual, Story, and Play - Community + Co-creation Our philosophy is simple: Human-first. Collaborative. Holistic. Creative. Impact-driven. ## The Problem We're Solving We live in a time of polycrisis: rising mental health challenges, loneliness, and disconnection. People need tools that are not only effective—but engaging, inspiring, and accessible. ## How We Create Impact We move ideas from research → prototypes → tested game experiences in partnership with clinicians, academics, and organizations. Every project aims to foster empathy, prosocial behavior, emotional regulation, and collective wellbeing. ## What We're Building The Verse builds three transformative game worlds that use play to improve wellbeing and human connection. - **WalkXR** is an immersive Unreal Engine platform that turns real human challenges into embodied gameplay through storytelling, emotional-regulation mechanics, and ritual-based interaction, with themed "walks" like Power of Music, Diabetes Journey, and Bridging Differences. - **Adventures in Breath** introduces a new genre of breath-powered play, where players use breathing and humming to explore the magical world of Harmonia, regulate their nervous systems, and unlock sonic abilities. - **Karma: The Six Realm Game** is a choice-based prosocial RPG that rewards empathy, cooperation, and compassion, inviting players to grow by building relationships, repairing conflict, and using kindness as a core game mechanic. ## Discord Developer/Engineer: Using Discord To Measure Community Health (Collaboration, Communication, and Prosocial-ity) We are a gaming for health and wellbeing startup that uses DISCORD to run our distributed team of 30+.
