#Devtober is a personal challenge by @ThisIsEllian, focusing on building up good working habits, where you spend every single day of October working on a game!
Hello, and welcome!
Devtober 2019 officially starts in less than 15 days.
Here's a short recap video about what it is, along with an itch io page where everything is laid out!

Helloooooo everyone!
It is the last day of Devtober - as per usual, I will be extending the submission period on itch.io/jam/devtober-2021 by a solid week so you all have time to write your post mortems, so don't stress out too much about it.
Above all, I hope you all found out more about yourself, and how you work best!
And that through failure or success you've managed to make a learning experience out of this month and are positive about the future of your approach to gamedev, be it as a hobby or professionally!
💪
Alright! By now, it should be October 1st anywhere in the world, right?
That means Devtober stared!
@pinselschubser did something I've meant to do for a long time but never got around to: A little gamification as extra incentive to motivate you!

Starting tomorrow I will participate in this year's #devtober !
I made a little gamification score chart to keep myself engaged. A focus is on manageable chunks and helping each other within the Devtober community!
Feel free to use this system or adjust it to your needs!

Today I decided to show a project that I've been working on by myself for the past 3 years and had the idea since approx 2008.

Shoutouts to this year's @devtober for encouraging me to reveal it and post regular updates. #devtober
Today there's been some discussion on the Discord about the value of planning for Devtobergame, or jams/dev in general
And coincidentally, @daeleth made this:
A pitch, a plan, clear goals and the basics of game design, and some ways to keep themselves committed: it's great!
Hey everyone!
@twaitecreate is now live at twitch.tv/halfboltgames - he's reviewing and taking review submissions from Devtober!
Make sure to check it out and/or send him your project if you have one!
And with this, submissions for Devtober 2020 are closed.
That's a whopping 1289 persons who joined, and over 157 entries. That's also about 532 members on our Discord server.
So let's have some parting words, shall we?

I can't make any promise, but we'll see where things take us, right?
In the meantime, I really hope you got a kick out of it, and learned to work better with yourself so you can make gamedev a sustainable part of your daily life 💪
