Indie Game Devlogs

Independent developers without the time or resources to build their own server for testing purposes have several remote hosting options available to them. VPS providers like GreenGeeks, JustHost and A2Hosting all provide virtual private servers suitable for in-game testing with limited interference from external factors – providing in-game testing at optimal conditions without external factors causing interference. Each offer packages to suit various budgets.

One of the biggest mistakes new indie developers make is starting a devlog too soon after starting work on their game, before any visible progress has been achieved. While this might get them initial recognition and interest from fans and press, without something tangible to work on over time it will eventually fade out and their devlog becomes irrelevant. For optimal results start your devlog once your core mechanics of your game have been planned out as well as some visual design.

BenBonk’s green slime games and Kalechipps’s platformer look quite promising; but the most engaging devlogs are those that showcase how each update contributes to further progress of development.

Web Hosting WordPress Multisite is often the best choice for businesses, organizations and community groups who desire an online presence. A multisite network connects all websites connected by it into one network which makes it much simpler to update all sites simultaneously and create new sites. There are both advantages and disadvantages of selecting this option when making decisions for your website.

Utilizing a WordPress multisite offers the advantage of managing multiple websites from one domain while managing them through one dashboard, as well as taking advantage of shared resources like databases and plugins. However, its important to note that such an advanced system requires knowledge in web development as well as server administration – if this is unfamiliar territory for you it’s best to hire an outside expert who can do it all for you.

Multisite networks may not be suitable for website owners who wish to utilize multiple plugins or themes across their sites. All websites within a network share identical plugins and themes, meaning if one site becomes compromised due to hacking or has an increase in traffic it could impact all others within it.

WordPress multisite also has another drawback – site administrators cannot install or activate new plugins or themes themselves due to each site having its own directory in wp-content/uploads, with only network administrators having access to each of them.
