Devlogs take a pretty decent amount of time to put together and I don't get a lot of engagement out of them, so I don't think anyone really reads them. I don't really have any issue continuing them, but I want to see what y'all think. Realistically, the amount of time I spend on them will not go directly into the game; it's not zero sum. I tend to be able to work on devlog entries in more mixed company and on my phone when I'm away from my computer, so I don't expect it to make much of a difference for you guys. For me though, it's just a little more breathing room.

I'm open to maybe some other benefit for patrons to replace the devlog, so if there's something you'd like to see instead, tell me in the comments!

I particularly liked the last one.

I personally rarely read dev b/logs from any developer. I'm happy with quick check-ins and maybe a list of features to expect in the upcoming update. I really love seeing upcoming art, or concepts too. Art that didn't make the cut, and even art for other projects!

Hmm. I wish I had thought of it before, but I could probably also just do fewer or shorter devlogs instead.
