Oh crud! I missed this thread. The community blog in previous years was really cool, but I see this is just not well advertised and hardly anyone is using it yet. Wish it picks up more, and becomes a big thing next year.

But so far noone has posted more than one entry, they've just linked to their devlogs elsewhere. But you intended people post as often as they want, right?

Seilburg and I have been posting daily devlog entries for Portlligat on our itch.io game page, but the chance of anyone actually seeing them during the week is low. Feels lonely. I think a community blog feed is ideal, although twitter hashtags are pretty similar. I crosspost to another forum but it's a nuisance. I wish that were automated... i.e. if we could create a feed of devlog entries from everyone's itch.io pages and from every thread in this forum! itch.io does allow creating private feeds... can be they be public too?

I think the best scenario would be itch.io letting people post devlogs to the jam itself and having a moderated feed where they are all displayed.

We'll see how it goes! it seems we live in a different age of social media now and putting more burden on the devs is not ideal.
