With Ludum Dare 44 winding down, it's time to reflect on how things went for me. Firstly, as always, a massive "Thank you!" to everyone who's played 15 Minutes to Live,…
"Soul Builder" behind the scenes
Because the game is about waiting for workers to generate resources so you can build structures, it resembles an idle game, but I wanted to keep the experience snappy…
Making of Tunnel Bug
You can go play Tunnel Bug and give it a rating when you get the chance. I love Ludum Dare, but honestly, I wasn’t fully aware it was happening until the week before…
"The money Hole" and "The debt" Post-Mortem

Cut scenes for Zoltan took me an entire day of the jam. I wanted to include them to give more context and because I love stories.

So going into this, I had no idea what I was going to do with this theme. I jotted down some ideas on a white board and picked the one I hated the least. I like to paper…
My LD44 Post Mortem
First day, Pico Pico Cafe(Kichijoji,Tokyo) held the place for LD44 so I went and developed there on the first day. Thank you very much!

The postmortem is here (Warning: super long)
Ludum dare has just ended and wow, as a second time participant, things went nowhere near as smoothly as I hoped. Here's what I've learned by going through that grueling journey:
Post Mortem
I only spent _24 working hours_ in this title, which had a pretty significant impact on what I could do.
Elemental Warfare: Post-Mortem
Rather than making a video game this year, I decided to make a card game. I've always wanted to make tabletop games (in particular tabletop roleplaying games and war…
