Devlogs just got a whole lot better on Game Jolt! You can now publish your posts to Twitter and Tumblr automatically.

You can also let collaborators post, and schedule posts as well. Too easy.

As an indie dev, promoting your development is the best way to attract fans and grow your audience. Could you imagine what it would have been like if the developers of your favorite childhood game shared screenshots and gifs of their development and character creation process and replied to your suggestions?

We’ve seen first hand on Game Jolt—the more you share, even from the concept stage, the more interested gamers are in following your game and subscribing to your updates.

But managing all of the different social media platforms can be time consuming. Until now!

First, link your accounts within your game’s dashboard on Game Jolt.

After that, all you have to do is choose which accounts you want to publish to! After publishing the post on Game Jolt, it’ll be pushed to the platforms you’ve selected within a few seconds.

It works with text posts, media posts, and video posts. We format it properly for each platform, and if your post won’t fit within the platform that you selected, we’ll let you know.

With collaborators you can even allow other people on your team to publish posts to your game’s social channels. And you can even schedule posts out using Game Jolt’s scheduling feature!

Yay! Give it a whirl and let us know what you think! If you have any suggestions on which platforms you’d like to see next, leave a comment.

(And, yes, this was published to Twitter using the new feature. Mwuahaha!)

All right, time to place my haul. I need mastery of these stickers.

My grumpy dog doing yoga.

Ah yes, programming documentation.

Ohh, what's this? You can see all the stickers in a sticker pack before buying/opening now. Finally.

My custom-made controller. Click click.

After about 6 months, I started working on my custom controller again for retro gaming!

I designed the PCBs for the analog sticks, got them made, and check them out! They fit in perfectly.

Next step, building out the whole main PCB.

Modded a Game Gear! Took a long time, but I'm really happy with the results. New screen, speakers, shell, rechargeable batteries, all that. Even has an FM radio chip in it so that when it runs Master System games, it has better music.

Here we go!

Oof, got three sticker packs and got super unlucky with my drop rates for the star haha. I gotta master them all though!

Just noticed this on our bidet... Now I'm scared to use it.
