1️⃣ You can validate a game with devlog clips before building the full game. Pounce Light posted prototype castle builder videos to TikTok, found strangers wanted it, and grew a 25k newsletter from early clips.

2️⃣ A devlog can take any format as long as it shows active progress. ConcernedApe wrote essays, Pounce Light posted videos, Landfall shared GIFs, Coffee Stain streamed, Motion Twin used patch notes.

3️⃣ Explaining schedule shifts in public keeps a project alive during quiet months. ConcernedApe used dev updates to say why a date moved, so a silent period did not read as the game being abandoned.
