Maintaining a Positive Environment
Welcome to Evebiohaztech—a thriving community born from post-apocalyptic imaginations, complex survival mechanics, and the art of game design that pushes boundaries. Our creative ecosystem is built for game enthusiasts, designers, and strategic thinkers who share a love for biohazard gameplay, resource innovation, procedural layouts, and the living worlds inside our virtual spaces.
Founded by Xyphara Durnhanna in Champaign, Illinois, Evebiohaztech is grounded in exploration—of gameplay systems, player dynamics, and the emotional arcs that define immersive worlds. Like any high-functioning survival sim, our community works best when participants keep things cooperative, clear, and constructive. These Community Guidelines are here to keep the environment respectful, forward-thinking, and full of opportunities to build, experiment, and learn together.
Our Purpose
This space exists to let anyone—from aspiring devs to moddable veterans—engage meaningfully with post-apocalyptic design theory, tactical gameplay mechanics, and evolution-based game environments. Whether you’re here to learn about crafting balance systems, discuss level design progression, or share your own innovations, we welcome your insights. Our goal is to keep this as a space where everyone—newcomer or architect—feels like their questions matter and their ideas can shape future landscapes.
We believe collaboration works best where people feel respected, curious, and safe to explore. This is a space for ideas to be refined, prototyped, even debated—in the same spirit that goes into building richly interactive worlds. These guidelines help reinforce that mission.
What We Value
In every exchange—on forums, comment threads, chats, and collaboration tools—we encourage members to uphold a few simple values that support clarity, creativity, and community:
- Respect: Treat fellow members with courtesy and professionalism. Respect different viewpoints and keep feedback thoughtful and solution-oriented.
- Integrity: Share accurate information, acknowledge collaborators, and credit other creators appropriately.
- Curiosity: Ask more, assess more, and avoid assumptions. Game innovation thrives on asking “what if”—so bring questions, not just opinions.
- Clarity: Share ideas and feedback that are understandable, specific, and helpful to others who want to engage or offer input.
- Inclusivity: Our creative community spans across backgrounds, disciplines, cultures, and experience levels—diverse perspectives fuel better design thinking.
These values aren’t just our roadmap to effective community building—they’re critical to the design cultures we champion in our projects and our games.
Engagement That Builds, Not Breaks
We encourage all members to participate actively, insightfully, and respectfully across all platforms. Whether you’re reviewing environmental loops, dissecting a procedural maze structure, or offering balance suggestions for a fuel mob encounter, thoughtful communication fuels better ideas—and better design iteration.
When engaging:
- Keep discussion focused on relevant topics—resource management, game balancing, AI scaling, difficulty thresholds, environment triggers, etc.
- Clarify your insights—if you’re offering critique, include context: how, why, and what can be improved.
- Bring others into conversations by asking questions or building on their ideas through collaboration.
- Link to references, data, system models, or visual documentation where appropriate—well-grounded points stimulate stronger discussion.
We welcome well-reasoned debates, experiment proposals, and even design theory disagreements—as long as your tone is professional and your intentions are genuinely community-centered.
Community Conduct
We’re here to shape ideas constructively, not tear others down. That means we will not accept the following:
- Abusive, derogatory, or discriminatory language
- Harassment, bullying, intimidation, or inflammatory trolling
- Posting spam, misleading claims, or off-topic promotion
- Sharing unreleased or protected user content without explicit permission
Evebiohaztech moderators actively monitor the platforms where community input occurs. Content that violates these principles will be removed to preserve our collaborative focus. Our aim is never to censor, but rather to protect the high signal-to-noise ratio that makes our space a meaningful place to learn and grow. If you see a potential violation, you’re encouraged to contact us at [email protected] so we can address the issue respectfully and efficiently.
Encouraging Responsible Sharing
Ideas should flow freely—but respectfully. If you’re using or building on someone else’s work, always give proper attribution. If you incorporate prototype mechanics, concept art, or UX frameworks from another contributor, clarify what is original and what is adapted. Recognition is part of responsible game development—and builds trust between creators.
If you’re spotlighting concepts you derived from community collaboration or internal design discussions, be transparent about the origin story. Doing so doesn’t diminish your work—it amplifies the professionalism behind it.
Privacy Matters
When interacting in this community, please refrain from sharing personal or sensitive data—yours or anyone else’s. Keep communications professional and topic-focused. This is not the space to reveal private contact details, security credentials, or identity-based metadata about others.
For transparency regarding how we handle data and user engagement, we invite you to review our full Privacy Policy. We’re committed to maintaining an environment where your participation is both protected and fully respected.
Project Collaboration and Community Building
Evebiohaztech believes in coordinated collaboration. Whether you’re a systems designer, playback specialist, modder, or narrative innovator, your insight contributes to an ecosystem of design thinkers operating at the edge of genre evolution. We invite collaboration through respectful conversation, passionate ideation, and shared iteration.
If you’re interested in joining structured collaborations, sharing emerging projects, or learning our ongoing development framework, you’re welcome any time to reach out or connect through internal channels. Let this be a place where post-apocalyptic design becomes post-passivity momentum.
About Our Founder
Xyphara Durnhanna launched Evebiohaztech to push narrative systems and mechanical experimentation well beyond genre norms. Her philosophy: game worlds are laboratories for survival empathy—testing how choices play, systems scale, and opportunities arise from constraint. Her vision continues to drive this community toward technical innovation, theoretical integrity, and genre relevance.

Closing Thoughts
This community functions best when people show up ready to collaborate. Innovation—especially in interactive design—is only possible when respect underpins every interaction, and when clarity guides every conversation. At Evebiohaztech, we believe strong environments forge stronger ideas. Let’s make this one of them—together.
