Fly On The Wall: A Postpartum
I’ve always thought the term “postmortem” to be an odd one. A game doesn’t die when it’s released; it’s more like a birth! So, I’m calling this a “postpartum”. Not that…
Wilhelm’s Escape post-mortem
If you don’t play the game yet, please, play it before read this post-mortem. It only takes 2 minutes.
Smooth Operator Post Mortem Heeeyaaaa!
Smooth Operator is my LD 28 entry and my 3rd comp entry. It is also my most successful Ludum Dare entry (in my opinion). So without further ado, lets post mortem!

Like a Ninja! Post-Mortem
It’s been a while since I looked at this game. For the most part, I’m pretty proud of what I was able to punch out in the busy weekend I had. At the same time, though,…
Compo Postmortem – You Only Have One Egg
Well, I’m doing this just to get my game a bit more out there, but I can’t really say much about development because it doesn’t even have graphics, audio, and probably…
This world is broken Postmortem
Howdy ya’ll. I made a game for Ludum Dare a few weeks ago, and I think it’s high time I actually make a postmortem for it.
You Are The One – Postmortem
With a little over a week left in the voting process, I figured I would put together a postmortem on my first ever Ludum Dare entry, You Are The One.
Postmortem and happy new year! :)

LITH – A short Postmortem
So it’s been more than a week since Ludum Dare Jam #28 ended, but what with the holiday period I’ve not had much chance to really sit down and write about LITH; my first…
Post Mortem – I done goofed
I think the whole point of Ludum dare is to produce a game that is “fun” too play or interact with. Sadly to say i failed hard…..very hard. The fact that i had so much…
Post Mortem – The most beautiful day of her life [Jam LD28]
As usual with a game jam, the main goal is to release a complete (playable) game in the time allowed. For this peculiar Ludum Dare (#28) I was hoping to enter/release my…

Post Mortem IV: “Post-Compo”
In my compo-entry, “Toy Soldiers”, though everything that would be expected of a Lemming-like worked; it was too much like the original Lemmings and too inaccessible to…
Post Mortem III: “Two Weeks in a Community”
It feels like a lot of what I’ve learned from Ludum Dare; I learned from the people after the experience, rather than during the actual event. In this part I share some…

1) Keep it simple, no gravity, no physics. 2) Think of new patterns, learn more about engine. 2) Test content pipeline for full-HD graphics. 4) Have fun.

I kinda feel that a Ludum Dare isn’t completed until a final post about the game you created, so I wanted to take this opportunity to do this postmortem stuff at least…

Incomplete Post Mortem
