The Exploding Factory (A post-mortem)
I thought I would do a quick post-mortem on my game for LD 40 (The Exploding Factory).

I only had about 12 hours to put into LD40. I made my focus something I could do quickly and tried to focus on finding that 'fun factor.' I seem to have found it (at…
Sanguinite Postmortem

The main idea for the game about the immune system was inspired by a DOS game I used to play a lot, called "PC-Bakterien!". It was developed by the same guys who made A…
