Moon Moth: Postmortem
Well, the Ludum Dare 59 came to an end! I came back after missing two jams, but then it felt like I never left :) It feels so good to work on a little project, receive…
Ziggy Zapper Postmortem
Only two rounds of theme voting this time. I saw the options for round 1 and got that sinking feeling. Round two was better; maybe there was hope?
Post-mortem-ish rambling: yAI presents Himari, the Beautiful Super Genius A.I.

Last Brain Cell post mortem
Hi jam folks!
RESPECT - a Small Post-Mortem

Making of LightHouse Diaries
First time making postmortem. Our LD59 game Lighthouse Diaries was special game in many aspects, so I thought it would warrant a post mortem.
RAVTZN - Post-Mortem
With the jam winding down, it's time for my customary look back at how things went: what went well with RAVTZN, what didn't, and my plans for the next jam. As always,…
Ruthless Criticism and Self-Criticism: A Postmortem
The design of Signals Intelligence is overly elaborate, and has too many moving parts. Every part needs to work, and the parts that don't work drag down the core game…
Robo Phone Home post-mortem
Hey everyone,
Making-of Pulse Advance!
Hello! My name is Daria, I’m a 2D artist, and this is my third Ludum Dare Jam. It’s also the first time I’ve decided to write a making-of post about creating assets in…
How to Make a Rhythm Game - Lessons Learned
For this Ludum Dare, we made a rhythm game that's heavily inspired by Crypt of the Necrodancer. It was quite a journey to figure out how to make everything follow the…
Trippin' Ballz - A Post Mortem
My 13th Ludum Dare submission is called Trippin’ Ballz and I think it came out much better than expected… considering I didn’t expect too much!
Post Mortem sound so sad, my game still lives

Retrospective-time! 🌈
It was supposed to be the calm today, I think I misunderstood the timers 😁 Our man Mike has been tallying up the results and just released them 8 hours ago. I will check…
My 27th Ludum Dare's Postmortem: "Trivia Hart: Case of the Porcelain Tricorn"
"Dateline LD58. I had just ~~jumped in a bottomless pit~~ solved the case of the mayor's missing Porcelain Tricorn. I stopped by Barber's, got something to drink, and…
Crumbs - Post mortem
TL;DR: Tried to make a poetic game about rain. Accidentally made a chaotic thing about data. Remember to reject all.
Carrot Collector - Post-Mortem
I once again forgot to write this at the weekend, I've had too much else going on recently. Ah well, better late than never!
How to get better in LD? Or retrospective for Paper Fishing
I never did a proper retrospective for my past LD. I always had in mind what was working and what not, but this time I decided it might be fun to run a full fledged…

Dev process retrospective
Saturday night I found myself writing up thoughts on how things were going before realizing that was a terrible way to spend compo time. Finished notes in the hope that…
