I wanted to share the news that my wimpy little Ludum Dare entry was brutally stripped to pieces and then slowly re-assembled over five months into a full featured game.\u00a0 It was released not too long ago on Kongregate.com and quickly shot to #3rd of the highest rated<\/strong> top new games!\u00a0 Just a week after release, it received badges and is now sporting nearly 200,000 plays<\/strong>!\u00a0 (It actually has 10x<\/strong> as many plays as that, but if you want to know why I don’t count those, then check out my blog post linked below.)<\/p>\n So for those who might want to hear some advice from someone who managed to turn a shoddy Ludum Dare entry into something playable and successful, I recommend you check out the entirety of my post below.\u00a0 I cover everything from the Ludum Dare version all the way up to the final released copy, and then some of the post-release problems I had.<\/p>\n or<\/p>\n To everyone who puts in their valuable free time to working on Ludum Dare, a much hearty thank you for inspiring people like me.\u00a0 And to those who participate:\u00a0 Let’s keep having fun and mak’n games!<\/p>\n You can also check out the review for Legend of Kalevala on Jayisgames.com.<\/a><\/p>\n \n Tags: post-mortem<\/a>, published<\/a>, released<\/a><\/p>","time":"July 15th, 2011 6:42 pm","title":"Post-mortem for Legend of Kalevala (based on LD #19 entry)"}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/lok-ludumdare-title.png\")
