What was the URL of the devblog? It's probably on the WayBack Machine: https://web.archive.org

I'm more curious why would one delete such blog in the first place. I know this game is a little bit old, but they still maintain their website(s).

Yeah. I'm of the school of though that thinks nearly all web content should be preserved at it's original url. Wayback is a godsend but it should be a last resort.

My guess would be one of the main causes of this is "can't be arsed to migrate Wordpress." I've done that and it's surprisingly straightforward (with a plugin), but I guess FTPing a folder involves less mental steps (so has a lower "activation energy".)

probably this: https://thoseawesomeguys.com/devblog/
which still seems to be up: https://thoseawesomeguys.com/party-mode-4-polish-score-scree...
I see a few snapshots of it on the web archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20200101000000*/https://thoseawe...

Off-topic, but your username reminded me of the episode of The Office (yes, the UK one, it's the only one that exists) where Neil (the manger from the Swindon office) brings in a home baked cake. Everybody loves it. David said "I prefer a flan"
