Dither Boy is a software built with community as a priority

Each update includes features requested by users or new effects made possible by users. The Studio AAA Discord is at the centre of that; a hub for connecting with likeminded users, sharing Dither Boy + Flareware creations, entering one of our official contests for prizes, or being celeby us and other users

To date: Discord members have received free holographic stickers for entering our contests, access to exclusive resources, as well as frequent updates and previews on what’s next.

At the time i'm writing this, our Discord has grown into a supportive and fun community space with over 200 users!
