The Youtube channel is mostly just for the trailer video, but I do have a art video to post on there when I get around to editing it (to make it shorter/faster)
There are two areas I operate out of, Patreon and discord.
On the Patreon I offer the game itself in beta/WIP form, the 1st of each month I post an update of all the things I added the month previously. So everything I've made thus far is playable on Patreon but its still like rough draft, work in progress.
On Discord I show and share things in an announcement channel. I wanted to use a place like tumblr or twitter but I'm not sure how to go about that as content wise it might break the terms of services of these sites. Especially since tumblr has changed and no longer allows nsfw content.
I thought about maybe making a blogger but like lol does anyone even use blogger? and I don't think it's a place people would want to follow so I'm really stumped on where to put these things >~< So far that's why updates are only available on Discord, it's been the only place that feels safe.
Edit: Oh I forgot to add as well, that while I can make dev logs here on itch it's a bit of an awkward process. Like the dev logs are mostly written and they seem like a thing to use for "important" announcements, where as my updatey posts kind of consist of:
"HEY GUYS I DID THIS COOL THING CHECK IT OUT" lol or a "Check out this CG I'm proud of this one"
It doesn't seem very dev log... like... >~<
Sadly I do not have the funds to support you on Patreon at the moment (But if I do come into the money, I definitely will)
I will go search for the discord, thank you!
And by the way Twitter basically lets you post anything, but it can be a pretty toxic enviorment so that's the only reason I'd be against it. Tumblr would be good but you would have to tip toe around the different guidelines. Also, I have never heard of blogger, so I can see why you would be hesitant to make a related account on there.
Weird about the dev log, you'd think it would be easy so the dev could... log their process lol
That's a ok, I don't expect anyone to join Patreon, it was just the method I found to give updates that people were asking for. It's listed above but here's a link as well if you'd like it Discord.
I read up on that, about it being toxic because of a limited amount of characters to describe things and people misunderstanding. Though there may also be other contributing factors to consider towards its toxicity. Knowing my luck I would accidently make a mistake on tumblr and end up banned/kicked or deactivated (whichever method they use) :S
Blogger is like... 2011? lol I used it while in college it was part of the curriculum. It's nice the way the posts are set up as it creates a bit of a timeline. It's closer to having your own website I guess.
I'm sure the dev log works for some, I think it's just me struggling with it. I wish it was in a more blog like format is all. I thought about maybe making my own website through wordpress or something as well, but I really don't know what to do. Discord is working though, eventually when I find the platform I'll take all the posts from discord onto it and create a bit of an archive situation. :3 I'll do that for Keep or Kill as well and all up and coming titles.
