Has anyone looked into making Discord bots communicate with a Construct Game?

I know most games run a server to handle this. Modestly I'm just wondering if we can get Discord to detect a Construct game to show in a person's 'Now Playing' status. But ideally I would love to know how to setup a way for people to be able to post their game stats to the server somehow.

Anyone play around with this?

you can try this plugin.

construct.net/en/construct-2/addons/330/discord-rich-presence
if you want something more advanced you can create a bot and connect to the game via websocket or firebase and etc..

- discord must be started before the game is started.

-The text must contain at least 5 characters and the asset names must be correct.

If you do not comply with these terms, the richpresence will not work.

you don't have to use any bot for richpresence. just use the plugin.

edit: btw you can use this as an alternative to my plugin. for now, it's only $ 1.50

Eren thanks! yeah I'm using C3 so that plugin doesn't work for me. I don't need anything as of yet, I was more just wondering if its possible.
