Post Mortem?

Why is everyone calling it that? Stop killing yourselves during these events!

You will need your health 10 years from now to still make games within incredibly small time frames.

I personally had more sleep and regular eating during that weekend than I usually do, because I know how badly my performance drops otherwise.

Its a term that game developers in the industry use after a project finishes. Everyone gets together to discuss in a meeting what went wrong and what could be done better. It’s not a negative thing, its usually a way to learn and improve upon what you did and do it better the next time. :)

The terminology does imply the product is ‘dead on release though…I have a friend who insists on calling it a post natal instead 😀

I feel like “post partum” would be a better term, anyway.
