Ora Bolas! – Post-Mortem
This was my first Jam, and also my first game made with PlayCanvas. I could say I was one of the few people who liked the theme as soon as it was released (“Entire game…
LD31 Post Mortem
I didn’t spend nearly enough time planning. I saw what the theme was and jumped right into coding, not knowing where I was going. I ended up getting nowhere fast. I…
immediate afterthoughts
I’ve been following along with the handmade hero stream and learning a lot. It’s been 2 or 3 weeks since the start though and we’ve covered a lot of new stuff for me, so…
“Color is Everything” post-mortem
Going into this weekend, I knew I wanted to make a game that would serve as a statement about the intolerable state of civil rights in the present-day United States. It…

Day 0 Post Mortem
I’m pretty tired now, so I’m going to call it a day, but first, an update on what happened today. Maybe someone will find it useful, if not it is still a great way to…
Day 1 Progress Report
[Prior to LD31] I payed attention to the voting results from rounds 1-4 and tried to predict the theme. My prediction was unicode snowman, and if not that, artificial…
Day 1 post-mortem
So, it’s two in the morning and I just uploaded the first proper release build of my game. (You can download it Here if you want to, though only for Windows at the…
Lessons learned from last time
I am posting them in case they happen to help me, or anyone else, this time around!
Part Mini LD Done, Part Post Mortem, Part Obligatory 31 In post #2
So I figured I’d start with a Hybrid Post Mortem that covers what I learned preparing for the upcoming Ludum Dare(3 Day Hype!) But to spare you the boring details I will…
TRI Post Mortem
TRI is a game with a long story, so I won’t even attempt to remember every detail. Instead, I will write down what comes into my mind. This way the following article…
Spanner – postmortem
Here’s my entry’s percentile ranks in each category: Theme 94%, Overall 86%, Audio 72%, Mood 71%, Graphics 69%, Innovation 67%, Fun 66%, Humor 45%. This was definitely…

This was my first Ludum Dare, I’m very glad I took part and I’m already looking forward to the next one.
Marble Run – A Last Minute Post-Mortem
I’ve been doing Ludum Dare for a couple of years now, but this is my first post mortem, so bear with me. Oh, and why not play the game while you’re at it :)
100 Days Postmortem
Ludum Dare is awesome. A welcomed challenge every four months. In order to improve my skill at design, I spend most of my time creating simple prototypes to learn what…
Roy, Gee, Biv Post Mortem
Roy, Gee, Biv was a 48-hour compo game that involved three characters meeting up and attempting to free themselves from the world they’ve been constrained in. I had a…
Bounty of Corruption: Post Mortem
Having taken part in 5 Ludum Dare events now (from LD26-30), I think I’ve gotten the hang of making a game in such a short period of time (kind of). I’m just going to…

Kid Got Lost – Post Mortem
This was the first Ludum Dare that Paperbox Studios had ever participated in, we had a great time making our game Kid Got Lost and were quite pleased with the feedback…
UnThread – A Late Post-Mortem
This was first LD experience. I have had many game ideas in the past, but save for some little games, such as a Breakout clone, in high school I made, I’ve always had…
Daydream Runaway: It will be tough
TLDR: The end result is not what we imagined when we started to work on the game, but overall the experience was great, and we are really happy we keep participating. Go…
They Were Just Pixels – Post mortem
This was my first LD entry ever and I have mixed feelings about it. When the theme came out, the only thing I had in my mind was that I didn’t want to make a space game…
