Livestream and devlogs
As part of Open Projects we have produced a number of videos. This is an index of all of them, and of the topics we covered. Please note that videos are a "photograph" of the project at the time they were made, so sometimes they might contain details on the game that have changed in time. This wiki always has the latest updated info.
Chapter markers
For each video, you can go to YouTube and use the links in the description or the chapters on the video's timeline to skip to the desired topic.
Devlogs are pre-recorded short videos that cover one topic in a condensed format (10 mins or so).
