Writing devlogs in a second language is totally normal here, many of us are not native English speakers, and it’s absolutely fine.
You don’t need perfect English to make a good devlog. What matters is clarity and honesty.
A few simple tips that can help:
- Don’t try to sound “impressive.” Just be clear.
- Explain what you’re working on and why you made certain choices. Readers care more about your process than fancy words.
- Use visuals to communicate emotion.
- Screenshots, GIFs, small clips… they speak louder than text and reduce language pressure.
- Talk less about “I” and more about the player experience.
- Instead of “I added X,” try "this new mechanic will let players explore faster", or "this scene creates a darker atmosphere".
- Keep posts short.
- A few paragraphs with images is enough. People prefer simple updates.
- Ask one small question at the end.
- It invites feedback even if your English isn’t perfect.
Good devlogs don’t require perfect language — just clarity, passion, and a bit of personality. You’re already on the right path. Welcome to itch.io y buena suerte a ti también!
