The Ice Pond is finished…
My name is Brian Ash and I made a game for the Ludum Dare #29 Jam portion. I know it’s not post-mortem yet but I still want to talk about my experiences with Ludum Dare…

It’s party time 😀

36 hours without sleep, but I feel it was worth it. Even if the final polish for the game had to be done on my lunch break today 😛 Those finishing touches were…
Divernaut post-production ramble
Okay! Time for a debriefing. This was my first Ludum Dare and it was great! I coded. I pixeled. I spilled food on stuff. I drank a LOT of faygo Rock n Rye. Good…
LD29 Compo – YAPP (Yet another postmortem post)
Obligatory postmortem post.
Everyone learn something with Ludum Dare
Hi, i’m satisfied with my game, Amy’s Rescue, but that was after a long way of 48 hours.
Ludum Dare 29 – Postmortem
This was my first Ludum Dare (my first competition ever, really) and I must say that I had more fun during those 48 hours than I have in a long time! I can’t wait for…
It’s Post Mortem time!

We’ve learned a lot.

First off, here’s the game if you are interested.
“Submersion” Postmortem
So my first Ludum Dare is over, I had a blast. I finished an entire game for the first time, so I am also writing my first ever post mortem.
Have I just submitted my game ?
And in a shocking last minute twist, I’ve decide to not wait for the 72h, and submit the playable version I have to reach the 48h goal. I still plan to had the…
Done, kind of
So, I really ran out of time with this one, but at the same time I think it went really well.
Oh well, DNF This time around
I lost half my day on Saturday and again on Sunday which was the real kicker here. Those extra 6-10 hours would make the world of difference from demo to an actual game.
The Goblin Inside

First place in innovation for the jam! Thanks so much guys!
At the beginning of this jam I said:
Save One For the Kids – a post ’em mortem ’em
Ah, the ol’ post-mortem… where you retrace your steps and try to figure out what went wrong and what went right. But what if nothing went ‘wrong’? What if I’m totally…
