PATRIOT – post mortem and JAM vs COMPO
Another game jam, another set of firsts!
The Ice Pond is finished…
My name is Brian Ash and I made a game for the Ludum Dare #29 Jam portion. I know it’s not post-mortem yet but I still want to talk about my experiences with Ludum Dare…
Kraken pool party post-mortem
It’s party time 😀
The Thing Beneath the Surface – Post Mortem
While we are overall pleased with how the game came out there are a few things that didn’t make it into the final build. Hopefully down the line when we have some more…

Hi I’m Ranko and I made Supermarket Challenge.

36 hours without sleep, but I feel it was worth it. Even if the final polish for the game had to be done on my lunch break today 😛 Those finishing touches were…
Divernaut post-production ramble
Okay! Time for a debriefing. This was my first Ludum Dare and it was great! I coded. I pixeled. I spilled food on stuff. I drank a LOT of faygo Rock n Rye. Good…
LD29 Compo – YAPP (Yet another postmortem post)
Obligatory postmortem post.
Everyone learn something with Ludum Dare
Hi, i’m satisfied with my game, Amy’s Rescue, but that was after a long way of 48 hours.
Ludum Dare 29 – Postmortem
This was my first Ludum Dare (my first competition ever, really) and I must say that I had more fun during those 48 hours than I have in a long time! I can’t wait for…
It’s Post Mortem time!

Cry Baby Postmortem
Hi everyone, this has been my second LD, and boy what fun did I have!
Worm Simulator 2012: Post Mortem
This was my fourth attempt at Ludum Dare, and my first time working in a team. How did things go? Well, play the game and you’ll see. Let’s just say that they didn’t go…
Postmortem of The Bored Room
Postmortem of The Bored Room
They Beep – Postmortem (Spark Notes Edition)
We’ve learned a lot.
Prehistoric Kerfuffle has been completed! Post Mortem time!
And thus ends our adventure for LD 48! Being our second LD jam that we’ve worked on together, Isaac and I knew what we were getting into. The only difference this time…

Working on checking all the items on my TODO-List, this is the Post Mortem to my game Castle Engineer.

My fourth Ludum Dare entry and probably my best/worst one yet.

I got two ideas for the theme: “Beneath the surface”
But in his cage they put a young panther (A Hunger Artist post mortem)
First off, here’s the game if you are interested.
“Submersion” Postmortem
So my first Ludum Dare is over, I had a blast. I finished an entire game for the first time, so I am also writing my first ever post mortem.
Have I just submitted my game ?
And in a shocking last minute twist, I’ve decide to not wait for the 72h, and submit the playable version I have to reach the 48h goal. I still plan to had the…
Done, kind of
So, I really ran out of time with this one, but at the same time I think it went really well.
Oh well, DNF This time around
I lost half my day on Saturday and again on Sunday which was the real kicker here. Those extra 6-10 hours would make the world of difference from demo to an actual game.
The Goblin Inside
Hello everybody!
Making the Perfect Ludum Dare submission
This post was previously written on my blogsite and has been slightly edited for Ludum Dare. For the full post, visit: www.acheronstudio.com
This is such a terrible idea but…I’m in

This is the first time I don’t submit a game for a Ludum Dare :(
LD28 Aftermath – Glide
For me, LD28 was the best Ludum Dare I’ve had. Even though it was about 2 months ago, I’ve only just got round to putting the post-compo finishing touches onto my game.…
First place in innovation for the jam! Thanks so much guys!
At the beginning of this jam I said:
Save One For the Kids – a post ’em mortem ’em
Ah, the ol’ post-mortem… where you retrace your steps and try to figure out what went wrong and what went right. But what if nothing went ‘wrong’? What if I’m totally…
Biofuel Post Mortem
This time, my game is like Harvest Moon, which is mainly because I played SNES Harvest Moon some days before Ludum Dare and I really wanted to do something with the…

Tough – Post Mortem
It’s maybe too late but I feel like I’m missing something if I don’t write a post mortem for my first LD entry – Tough. Post mortem is a kind of new term for me when I…
Post-mortem-ish: LD28 Failures and Christmas Cookies
This was my fourth LD and usually I’d write a bit more about what I made and the design process behind it. But this time around, I’m…disappointed? Embarrassed? I made my…

Now it’s time for a little coding postmortem for our game RGB
