Tiny Tale: Postmortem
After a long day at work, I found out that writing a simple Post-Mort-em would definitely be a good idea:

Many posts here give tips on how to succeed at Ludum Dare, but you know what? Lots of them contradict each other, and lots of them contradict my experience. Everyone’s…
Bill in BSODia Post Mortem
tl;dr: Good: I made it. I learned a lot. Bad: XNA is not for jams, web is easiest to play. Ugly: I’ll be back.
First LD, Celluloid as my game.
So this was my first Ludum Dare, and it was great. Except that the time was running out a lot for me, you know, family and stuff (i’m minor). For sure this LD was a…
Our Little World, post-mortem
Every time I manage to pull through the 48 hours and end on the other end with something that doesn’t crash, I feel pretty good about myself.
Earth Is Dying! Post Mortem

Redbeard the Borrower Postmortem
Introduction Finally, relaxation! Our two-man team (Ryan and Jon) buckled down over the 72 hours to churn out this Unity powered scandalous adventure game. However, it…
All That Are Lost Will Be Found Post-Mortem
Well. First Ludum Dare. What an experience! I went into it not knowing exactly what to expect, and I’m still not exactly sure what happened.

Now that the Ludum Dare competition is complete and my entry has been submitted for voting, it’s time to look back on what worked & what didn’t.

Spaceways – Our first entry to a Ludum Dare
At 2am local time #LD23 started, we were sleeping :D. However we woke up at 6.30am to the news that Tiny World was the theme. After 2 and a half hours we had an idea of…

First of all, if you haven’t already, go play Subatomica
Rediculosis Post-Mortem
My first Ludum Dare was neither a success or a failure. I managed to “finish” the game enough to submit it in time, but it lacks so many of the things I drew up at the…
