Angeline Era Devlog Archive

Last updated 2025/09

In the confusingly-numbered Angeline Era devlog series, I’ve written two types of posts:

  1. More traditional devlogs written about decisions made as we develop it. For example, Devlog [005] discusses the combat system - as we were working on it. These types of posts sometimes have conclusions that were later revised or discarded.

  2. Posts reflecting on development. For example, Devlog [006] / Dev Timeline Part 3. These tend to have more interesting conclusions because I’ve had time to think about what it is we did 3-6+ months ago. However, they do lose a level of freshness and have a tendency to have after-the-fact justifications.

Here’s an archive so far.
