Evoquarium – A Post Mortem Analysis of Design and Development
Before now, I had never participated in Ludum Dare despite hearing so many good things about it, especially over the years I have been following Notch’s development of…
Time logs and post-mortems written by the authors of the games
Before now, I had never participated in Ludum Dare despite hearing so many good things about it, especially over the years I have been following Notch’s development of…
So it seems to be the time to write my post mortem. We did the game as a team of 3 pepole. As always the workload at my job peaked in the weeks before LD. So i had no…
Infected Cell is my first LD, i have previously entered 2 MLDs, and have gathered it is expected to do a Post Mortem. The game is a basic Shoot em’ Up, in which you play…
This is in all regards a post-mortem just with a different name. A post mortem implies that the game is dead, but from the comments I’ve got the game has potential and…
I don’t like the term “post mortem”. It means “after death”, but actually I perceive it more as birth than death when you finish a new game. So I write “post ortum”, for…
Eating my bagel sandwich on break at the cafe I wash dishes at. Got 15 mins.
I really understand the advice I’ve heard before of figuring out what you want to do before hand, and tailoring it to the theme once its announced. I still had no work…
Ludum Dare 24 started nearly a week ago, enough time to think it through and write up the postmortem for “Literally: Earth Shaping”. This was my second LD and overall I…
I spent the first four hours of Saturday coming up with an idea for Evolution. It was a tricky theme, but eventually I settled on something similar to a simplified…
If you haven’t yet played Robot Panic, you can find it here.
Hey all,
So i completed my first ludum dare and i learned a lot. trough my “failure” so here are the lessons i learned in hope that i an whomever reads this will not repeat them.
Hello to all, I’m really happy to be here and to have participated in this nice event, but most of all I am very pleased to have successfully completed something that…
So ludum dare 24 is over and The Lost Laboratory finished. It’s time for a retrospective.
What I had in mind
Hi everyone,
My Ludum Dare Jam entry is Those Stupid Aliens. It’s a top-down space shooter.
Coding – In past entries I spent far too much time and energy trying to maintain good coding practices. That was completely thrown out the window this time around, and,…
This was my first Ludum Dare and I made a game called “Moore’s Game“. It’s basically a journey through the evolution of video games – starting with Tic Tac Toe on a…

First off, I think that you should all be congratulated for generally being awesome. Reasons for you being awesome include the fact that you just made a better game in…
It’s my first time LD48, I learned a lot and here is my post mortem.
So, for our first Ludum Dare ever me and Regus made The Joining, a centrally hosted 2D shooter MMO. Against all expectations, including my own, we made a relatively…
Hi all, this is the post mortem for my Ludum Dare 24 entry called “Silent Game of Death”.
This was my first Ludum Dare, and I really enjoyed it! From what I read, it’s traditional to do a little write up of what happens, so here is mine for SURVIVE:
My first ludum dare, and subsequently my first LD post mortem.
The night before the theme was announced I was looking at the themes that were up for vote. What I should have done was come up with an idea for each theme. Or at least…
Alright, time to do a little blog thingy about things that worked well and things that worked bad.
Last week end was my first participation to the ludum dare. I’ve been considering to participate for a few years now but I had never had the ‘nerve’ to take the last…
Well everyone else is, so I thought I should do a quick post-mortem of my game since I didn’t do any blogging during the compo!
This was my first Ludum Dare and it was amazing. For the first time in my life, I produced a binary that can run on (some) other people’s machines and actually looks…
WTF Aliens!? is a Rythm/Shooter game. This post is a post-mortem of the development of that game.
This was my first LD and it was just as awesome I had expected. I blocked off the entire weekend and dedicated every passing moment to LD.
Our comp entry is here: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-24/?action=preview&uid=5234 Also embarrassingly, apparently Aqualution is a soap brand name so that’s…
Let’s take that short.
Before I start talking about the ups and downs of my game and its creation I want to talk a bit about Ludum Dare itself.
So, It’s my second ludum dare at 17 years old, and I’m very proud of my game, Disease.
After I submitted our game yesterday I was numb and empty. I felt robbed of my vision of the game. It will never be finished, its purpose has faded and the goal has been…
Plan M is now out and, as far as I know, completable. So that’s good.
