[COMPO] Booster's Day Out Postmortem!
Now that judging has started, I wanted to release my postmortem. Here goes. This postmortem is based on the same categories Ludum Dare itself uses for judging.

Den postmortem #3 : pixel art animations
In parallel to illustrating the environment for Den, we had to make little frightened animated men. As we never did pixel art animations in such a short time, we rapidly…

One of the numerous precious things on the team (and that we wanted to use fully on Den) is the possibility to integrate music and sound design as a core ingredient of…
Den postmortem #5 : Development

Though this Ludum Dare went even less smoothly than I'd prepared for, but I managed to create a core experience I enjoyed. Regrettably though it was lacking in enough…

A week after - Post mortem

So, we did gather everyone from @la-mecanique-du-plastique and @kilosaurus and pile up in a room.
Den postmortem # 2 : environment and ambiance
Even before starting on creating Den, from the first day of brainstorming, we choose to step away from our 3D habits and go for pixel art. By lack of a game workflow…
A (Small) Post-Mortem!
In designing our game Small Infection we wanted to create a unique and interesting bullet-hell-style game that captured the theme Small World. We decided to have the…
