The Werewolf Among Others was the third Ludum Dare game I made with Tarkko, and the one I’m most satisfied with. While Bear With Me was simple and well focused, I though…

Eat Sheep & Die Post-mortem
Well, I had a pretty good time last weekend despite not being enthused by the theme, I ended up making a game based around the idiom “A Wolf in Sheep’s clothing” and it…

V8000 A.D. Post-Mortem Megapost
For my fourth (well, third completed) Ludum Dare game, I think it’s worth doing a lil writeup about the dev process. The game I made is called V8000 A.D., and the…
