The Fat Man and the Sea: Post-Mortem Part II
__Part 1__ By the way I used GameMaker Studio 2 :wink: ### Design Day 2 was the best day of the jam. I woke up refreshed, ate breakfast and got right to work by 6 AM.
Time logs and post-mortems written by the authors of Ludum Dare 41 games
__Part 1__ By the way I used GameMaker Studio 2 :wink: ### Design Day 2 was the best day of the jam. I woke up refreshed, ate breakfast and got right to work by 6 AM.
What a week this has been. LD41 was my first-ever game jam, and my finished entry, Love Is A Battlefield, is my first published game under my "Altrix Studios" banner,…
It was fun to create Marco Polo. I've always wanted to do a classic text adventure game like Oregon Trail or Marco Polo. At the same time, slowly I'm getting better at…
Ah it feels good to be able to write a postmortem again. Last one was for LD34 which was... basically forever ago.
_I'm sitting in my chair, breathing heavily. I press F5 for the millionth time, just in case the theme was announced a bit early, or the clock was a bit off. Three minutes to go._
First off, yay 20 ratings! <3 Thanks everyone who's played.
Disclaimer: I'm not quite sure how to do post-mortems, so I guess I'll just say everything that happened, like in the videos!
Hi, this is second part of a postmortem for ACCIDENTAL EXISTENTIAL
Why hello there reader!
So after receiving some feedback about my game and reflecting on the jam, I think I have a few takeaways to state for myself. ### What went right Unlike to my…
Premise: Don’t get caught by the net and become dinner.
First off: if you haven't played Split-Minded, yet, could you please do so and leave a rating (and maybe even a comment too)? Thanks!
For the second post I want to talk about _something I probably shouldn't talk about, because little details are best left alone for the players to discover_. However I…
If you haven't had the chance to play 00Boyfriend, our action-platform shooter dating-sim hybrid, check it out and rate/comment! We are pretty excited with how it turned out!
First of all, sorry for the spelling, vocabulary or conjugation, french guy speaking here!
Now that things have calmed down a little. I thought it's time to give a rundown of my game, Gravity Chess!
Hi, this is a postmortem for ACCIDENTAL EXISTENTIAL This part doesn't contain any spoilers, so go ahead even if you haven't played it yet.
Hey everyone! So a lot of people expressed interest in me doing a breakdown of the art for our game Jeff From Accounting and I figured I'd do just that. If you haven't…
So making this was pretty epic! I thought I'd write this to share with you some of how this came about.
Rex McFury is a genre mashup of a River City Ransom style brawler and a courtroom drama. It is based around a simple ridiculous premise of a lawyer who wins cases by…

First of all, I wasn't super exited for this theme. I got really hung up on the incompatible part, which made me discard most of my favorite ideas since they were (in my…
_I'll be doing a few short (my kind of short might still turn out to be rather long) Post-Mortem posts on the process of my jam entry._
A few days after the jam and I finally wrote my postmortem for Delve! It ended up quite long so I posted it on my blog instead. Please check it out here.
I wasn't sure I'd be able to participate in the jam this weekend. I had some other committments that I couldn't move, so wasn't sure how much time I'd have to put into…
Hi gang! I wrote Dungeon Typist, which by the way, would love your review. :D It's a combination of touch typing and 3D roguelike dungeon crawling action.
I really think that this edition of the Ludum Dare went way better then I could have ever hoped for.
Technically that was my second Ludum Dare. Previous, 40th, I was not ready and didn't make it at all. This time I prepared at least better than before: Theme always…
I came into this jam with high hopes, I felt accomplished enough to do something good. Then, the theme hit. What kind of a theme was that!? Two hours were wasted trying…
So. Here it is, I participated in my first jam and managed to publish something by the end of it. And now that I fully recovered from all the accumulated lack of sleep…
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/seaman-sleuth Combining the detective game genre with the Metroidvania genre proved to be an extremely difficult task,…

During this LD I wasn't able to really clear my calendar. Still, with the time available I entered for the Jam and actually finished. The result is Diner Dive, a Diner…
As always, a race to the finish...
Well, this Ludum Dare was certainly different to the others we have done. Having participated in LD37 and 38, I was expecting this jam to go much like those did: stress,…
Play Headball
So the rushed development is over. The game is published (add link) and I had some sleep. Though frankly 4 hours is hardly enough after such sprint.
So, this is my first ever Ludum Dare. I had only jammed once before this! I wanted to wrap up my thoughts and how we pulled it off.
