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.
