The Hall of the Sorcerer King postmortem
Thought I'd do a quick postmortem of my game The Hall of the Sorcerer King, a choose-your-own-adventure where you have to choose what spells to cast to avoid running out of mana.
Lessons learned and information updated.
Thanks to all the comments I have seen a few problems with my submission and there are some questions that keep returning. Thank you for all this information.

The Postmortem
This Ludum Dare has been my favourite so far, with many firsts for me, but I want to take this time now to look back on the experience, and ask myself a few important questions.

This was my second attempt at the Jam, and I'm definitely a lot happier with my entry this time around. It's a lot more polished, less buggy, and more fun. Because of…
Post Mortem on "Electric Neon"
I wanted to create a quick post on some of the techniques that i learnt while creating "electric neon". I have watched alot of "game feel" videos before this ludum dare.

Soul Gun Post Mortem I: A button to respect

The Fallen: A Postmortem
This was an interesting Ludum Dare for me, as it was the first time I pulled off a compo entry. Originally, I was going to make a 3d game about being a robot in a dying…
Postmortem: Puppies in Sea Trouble (and blockchains?)
So Puppies in Sea Trouble was an experiment about how long would a lighthouse be lit, if you need someone to click the game in their browser once every 20 seconds.
Dryad: Postmortem
At around 1 AM, with a solid two hours to go before the jam deadline, I uploaded and published Dryad, my 3rd Ludum Dare entry.
Mini postmortem of Pixel Driver the jam version
