Devtober

#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!

[Devtober @devtober]

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!

😍Today we will be releasing our game Programmer Dungeon Knightress on @itchio !

This game started in an @itchio Game Jam (@devtober) and with it we were able to fulfill the dream of the first game released! Thank you so much!

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!
💪

[Devtober @devtober]

Helloooooo everyone!
It is the last day of Devtober - as per usual, I will be extending the submission period on https://t.co/TlBnnKFW4e by a solid week so you all have time to write your post mortems, so don't stress out too much about it.

[Devtober @devtober]

Hope you all had a good time - or if you're not finished, that you're not crunching to get to some arbitrary goal 😠

[Kalponic Games(Commissions Open) @KalponicGames]

Just finished my town defender game. @devtober

@Robert51968262 How did that go, now that the weekend is over? 👀

[Devtober @devtober]

I can't help but be amazed at the ambition some people have with Devtober
Say what you will, this is literally a game-a-day for a whole month 💪

Day 4 of #Yokaitober : ⛩️ KOTENGU ⛩️

#CloudieTober #Devtober

[Devtober @devtober]

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!

https://t.co/SNDWUgcKXb

[pinselschubser @pinselschubser]

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!

[Devtober @devtober]

@SaphireSouldier At least 10minutes is a very achievable, very healthy goal! And so easy to extend if you feel like it.
Good luck 💪

[Devtober @devtober]

@denglishdesign Very well. The contrat is sealed. Good luck. 😈

[WalGallen (On Bluesky)🌟KOTOMASHO Ch1 FREE @Steam! @WalGallen]

Sup'
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.

Download the demo!

@FlorenceDBadge Absolutely, that's even amongst the recommendations!
So long as you work at a good pace through the month, anything is fair game 🙂

[INDIEGAMES/WTF 🏴‍☠ @IndieGamesWTF]

Hey #indiegamedev remember that it’s almost time to start your #Devtober! follow @devtober for more info about this particular game jam 💪🏻👋🏻

[Devtober @devtober]

Commissioning artists to force yourself to commit to your plans? Great idea!
Not to mention taking the time to make a proper video devlog 😗👌

[Devtober @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!

[Devtober @devtober]

@AGuyNamedTay Congratulations!
It makes me super happy to see that this worked :D Hope you have a whole lot of fun keeping at it 💪

[Devtober @devtober]

Hey everyone!
@twaitecreate is now live at https://t.co/79WUvjekEh - 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!

[Devtober @devtober]

With that being said, please have a great year, keep making cool stuff, and see you next time! ✨

[Devtober @devtober]

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?

[Devtober @devtober]

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 💪
