Jake and Sam, the developers behind Dumpster Gang, have been building the community alongside the game itself. Their Steam announcements specifically invite players to Discord to talk about the project, share their enthusiasm, and keep up with what’s happening behind the scenes. It’s not just a place to collect announcements; the developers actively want to hear from the people playing their game.
There’s plenty to talk about. Dumpster Gang is a co-op sandbox where up to four raccoons break into houses, raid farms, steal valuables, and generally make life difficult for humans. Players can work together to haul loot, rescue captured gang members, and escape the Exterminator. Naturally, not every heist goes according to plan.
The community is useful even when you’re not playing. You can find other raccoon enthusiasts, arrange multiplayer sessions, trade impressions of the demo, and discuss what you’d like to see in the finished game. The developers have also used their announcements to invite feedback and encourage players to share their experiences.
One thing that makes this community worth following is its close connection to the people creating Dumpster Gang. Updates come directly from the small development team, so players have a place to follow the game’s progress and join conversations as new details emerge.
