Overview
Developer Diaries (or "Dev Diaries") were a commonly-used format for the developers of City of Heroes to introduce, explain, and provide behind-the-scenes information on new features which were soon to be added to the game. Some of these were posted on the official City of Heroes Web site, but many were also used as publicity tools on third-party gaming Web sites. This article gives a list of the various Dev Diaries published during the development of City of Heroes, as well as when and where they appeared, and who wrote them.
