Ninja Flare Post Mortem
So A full day on from the deadline, it might be a good time to reflect on the process and lessons learned through development of Ninja Flare.
Time logs and post-mortems written by the authors of the games
So A full day on from the deadline, it might be a good time to reflect on the process and lessons learned through development of Ninja Flare.
This is pretty much a re-post from my own blog, I was going to link to it, but that’s a little lazy / traffic grabbing. It’s a little rambling, so brace yourselves.
I’ve finally finished an LD after many many failed attempts. So ill relish it a bit by making a post mortem. You guys were right, finishing a game in 48 hours is…
It’s been two days since I posted the game, so I thought it might be time to write a post-mortem about it.
This was my second Ludum Dare and I gotta say it went pretty well. I made the 48 hour mark and made something that I was pretty satisfied with.
I thought I would take a break from playing entries to write a quick post mortem on my game Rokhopr. If you haven’t played it yet, it’s a simple 1 button game for 1 or…
After having submitted my first game for Ludum dare, now my first post mortem.
Well, this was my second attempt to 48h compo and the first time I finished and submitted my game.
So I made a whack-a-mole game this time around. Was it my original Idea? NOPE!.
So, I managed to finish off my game just in time for submission hour last night. There’s not much, but it’s really been a great learning experience! If you’re…
This was our first game jam ever. To all participants: bravo! Well done! We have even more respect for you than we did before this.
Thought I should write a small post that will help people understand the theme/logic of my #LD48 entry http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-26/?action=rate&uid=21211
So i made a game called ROCKET RUINS, fancy, huh? WELL maybe, if you have a pc test it out now. Then read my post.
Here’s the game page:
So, here we go, my second LD.
So, after getting some well deserved sleep I finally had to play my game for a while, other then quick tests here and there during the weekend… and I’m pretty impressed…
This Ludum Dare has been a triumf for me personally, being the first time I’ve participated in a game jam. I never would have guessed how much is possible in less than…
It’s been a rough, sleepless three days, but my first ever Ludum Dare jam submission is finally up. You can find it here.
Here’s the game: http://smilingrob.com/ld26/
Yeah, this time I made it on-time for the compo. I had to smash a single, small bug just after deadline. Mod support was my friend (continue reading to know why).
Well, there goes another Ludum Dare. I’ve noticed a trend; every game jam I complete, the next day I feel incredible. Even with the accumulative 10 hours of sleep I got…
Before I get into the Post Mortem I’ll introduce the game itself.
Am quite happy with the weekend’s efforts. I’ve been doing 48hour game jams fairly regularly over the last few years, but this was my first attempt going solo. Up till…
Phew! That went a heck of a lot better than the last LD I took part in, but it was still a lot of work. I got it all finished within a few hours of the deadline – except…
tldr: Tools Matter, Sleep, Limit your Content Scope. Great Success!
This was my first solo entry for Ludum Dare having previously been on a couple of jam teams. The result was ‘Soldier of Yellowism’ (click below image to play):
Hello! This is my first Ludum Dare entry, I’ve always wanted to get involved but lack of coding skills always prevented me. Middleware is so good now though, there’s…

Oh man was that ever fun. So I finished most of the stuff I wanted to, but I had to cut two levels because I didn’t have enough time, and even though that hurt a little,…
This turned out to be a very fun and interesting Ludum Dare for me, and I took a very different approach from the past two that I’ve participated in. I had a few ideas…
Woo. I’m finally done with my first Ludum Dare entry! The game is called Canon. You can find the LD entry here.
This was my first participation in Ludum Dare. I’ve known about it for a few years but never made the conscious decision to go for it. About a week ago I decided to…
Wow that was quite a roller-coaster of an LD. It started off awfully with me completely blanking on the theme, wasting time fixing a tricky engine glitch and then losing…
Bad luck has always plagued me whenever I decided to participate in these contests. Last time the LD challenge happened during a vacation weekend in which I couldn’t…
The game started as an entry to the Ludum Dare competition over a month ago with the theme “You Are The Villain.” I completed a reverse-Pacman game where you controlled…
