It's been just over a month since the last devlog. Here is a summary of what has happened with Dear Devere in that last month.

I released the Postmortem for Dear Devere, which contains information on how it was received, what went right, what could have been better, and what I learnt from the experience.

As I wrote earlier, Dear Devere's soundtrack by Paul Robins is now available on Steam.

Dear Devere was featured in 2020's MonsterVine Showcase. The visual novel's trailer was shown live during the showcase, along with many other interesting game. You can watch a recording of the showcase on MonsterVine's YouTube channel.

• Video review by Thatswedishguy 99 (*Spoiler alert: This review goes into detail about the game's plot, including the endings. It's more of a plot summary than a review critiquing the game. The video also includes some false information: I'd like to make it very clear that the player character is absolutely NOT a police person. They are part of the Bureau. This is canon stated explicitly in the text of the game. The Bureau is an accountable civilian intelligence organisation, with the intention of preventing war as its primary function, NOT a law enforcement agency. You DO NOT play a member of the police in Dear Devere. Dear Devere portrays the police of New Sorne as ineffectual at best, and the bringers of tragedy-through-miscommunication at worst. The player character is portrayed as intelligent, and a potential source for Good.)

I have now created a playlist of Dear Devere's playthroughs.
