Two times a year there is this game jam called Ludum Dare. Last weekend I had a little time so I decided to try it again! The theme was “Keep it alive”. You can have a look at my submitted game on itch.io. Here is a short post-mortem of what I managed to do in 72 hours! I created a list with some useful tipps for participating in game jams at the end of the article. How Ludum Dare works…
Wow! To release an App on Google Play is not a matter of a few hours, as I experienced the last weeks! But finally Tapmoji is released! I want to share some experiences releasing the app. For the last couple of months I worked on a game called Tapmoji using the Defold engine.
