One thing you do so much better than Carbidis is this! These Dev reports!! For someone like me, that wants to see regular progress, these are essential.

regular notifications saying "i've got nothing new for you to play" sucks. its frustrating, and makes releases feel sooo much further apart from each other..
imagine getting daily "no-pay slips" from an employer "we're just letting you know its only tuesday and you havent been paid yet".
ive got like 70 other games i follow, a fulltime job, and an active social life..
to anyone but a basement-dwelling no-lifer who has nothing better to do, devlogs are just spam.
and dont get me wrong, its not the fact that you do a devlog alone, its the way that you release them using teh "game update" channel, as if there is an update to the game.. we are in our emails reading a notification that says "X has released a new update" like "yaay! an update", then we follow the link to itch and then its like "nothing to see here, no new game content, just a wall of text, please move along"
literal notification title i received today :
New updates from Companion of darkness, Summer Scent & Last Human
only two of these games actually had "Updates" to the game.
I follow Summer Scent too, he is great at providing updates. For me Devlogs are important.
I guess you're just so much better than me... I just must be one of these basement dwelling no-lifers you're talking about...
You know what? Lets skip a few steps and I'll just leave this page right now... I'm obviously in the wrong place...
