Definitely the devlog option. If it’s in the community chat, I almost certainly won’t see it.
Thank you both for your help! To make sure I am following the proper procedure can you confirm that this is right?
- Create a new project game page within itch.io
- Use the devlog feature to write about your progress on the game.
- Make your game page and devlogs public, even if nothing is playable yet. This is to allow people to read the devlogs since they can't access them without having access to the game page.
- Use the "Submit your project" button within the 'Continue Your Game 7' to add your page to the jam submissions. Even though the game has not been completed, it is listed so others can see your progress and read your devlogs.
- Make a final dev log stating that the game is playable!
Because I am only seeing playable projects right now, I am not sure if my understanding of step 4 is correct. I would appreciate it if you could let me know if there is something I am missing or if the steps I listed are correct.
Thank you!
