Guest Access
You have the whole house to yourself, as described. Use anything in the kitchen including food. Replace (or leave money for) significant items you eat, but don't worry about minor things I leave for you (coffee, milk, yogurts, etc).
Interaction with Guests
I live in my other house directly across the street. I'm usually able to welcome you when you arrive, and to answer any questions that come up. When I'm away traveling, my friend Sean is available to do the same. We're both happy to give you advice about what's good to see and do in Philadelphia and how to get around!
The Neighborhood
Newbold/Point Breeze is a historic working-class neighborhood that's become very diverse. It might look a little scruffy, but it's getting nicer and nicer. I have found it secure and have never had any serious problems. I provide a neighborhood map showing transit, groceries, restaurants etc (for now you can click on Maps, or the "Guidebook" link at the top right of page).
Within five minutes walk you'll find the post office, several small groceries, Circles Thai restaurant, the South Philly Tap Room and Ultimo Coffee and other local businesses.
On the other side of Broad St, about ten minutes walk, is Passyunk Ave (pronounced "Pashunk") with its great variety of shops and restaurants, from the traditional to the trendy, all set in a tight-knit and historic Italian community.
You'll hear many languages spoken on the streets here -- including Indonesian, Khmer, Spanish, Tagalog and various Italian dialects. And English of course.
All of that is what make South Philadelphia great!
Getting Around
Parking here is on-street and free, with no time limit and no permit needed. Unlike many neighborhoods in Philadelphia, you can almost always find a space right on the block. Sometimes you have to look around the corner.
To go downtown (we call it Center City) it's just five minutes walk to the subway (Broad St line, Tasker-Morris stop). Or take the #2 bus, which goes up 16th St and comes back down 17th; both stops are less than a block from the house.
It's a 15-minute walk to Pat's Steaks, 20 to the 9th St "Italian Market" -- don't miss it! -- and 30 minutes to City Hall at the center of downtown.
Temple University is 20-25 minutes away by subway (door to door), Penn and Drexel are 25-35 minutes, and the sports complex (Phillies, Eagles, Flyers, 76ers) is 20 minutes.
A bicycle may be available, check with me if interested.
Other Things to Note
Please note that there are four steps up to the front door and that the bedrooms and the main bathroom are up one flight of stairs. The laundry and the secondary bathroom are down one flight of stairs.
Pricing and Booking:
• When to book: You can book far in advance for stays over a month, but usually not more than 2-3 weeks in advance for a 1-2 day stay, or 6-8 weeks in advance for a 1 week stay.
• I will try to accommodate last-minute guests but usually I need at least one day's notice.
• I will reduce the extra fee for additional guests for stays over a week (this is not shown in the automatic calculation!)
• In number of guests, *every* person counts, of any age from 0 up.
• You must be verified to book. Please look under Edit Profile / Verification. Also fill out your profile fully, especially if you have no recommendations yet.
• Please let me know your expected arrival and departure times, if possible. Early check-in and late check-out must be arranged beforehand.
In general...
Smoking outside only (the patio is partially sheltered).
Please keep noise down, especially late at night. You can have visitors of course, but no parties. And of course, no illegal activities.
Details about use of the house are in the manual which you will be able to access after you book.
If you have any questions or problems, or find anything missing or broken (or you break something!), just let me know right away so I can solve the problem.
Thank you!

Rich was not available during our stay but we got to meet Sean. Sean was great! He gave us a mini tour and told us what is good around the area and sent us a text or two in regards to Philly attractions. I would highly suggest Uber if you want to get around the city and have lots of people but if not public transit is very accessible. The area and house really makes you feel at home. We enjoyed our stay.
Rich was on top of everything, even though he was out of the country. His friend Sean took care of everything. We felt very at home.
The neighborhood was cute and we had no problem finding great places to eat once Sean gave us the low down.
If we'd been smarter, we would never have brought our car downtown. Parking in the Independence Mall is very expensive! But neither of us felt up to learning the subway system.
The air conditioning in the town house was great, so even though we are northerners, we didn't suffer from the humid Philadelphia heat.
In fact everything in the place was so wonderful. You'd be lucky to be the next one to visit this place. We were so pleased.
The house was a great place to stay if you're looking for a break from the city. Rich and Sean were in touch frequently to make sure everything was going OK. Towels, blankets, even coffee was provided.
Quartier multiethnique , rues très étroites et logis accolés les uns sur les autres . Nous avons pu effectivement trouver un stationnement sur la rue de l'appartement, à 3 portes de notre adresse. C'était l'été...je ne sais pas comment cela va en hiver s'il y a de la neige et du déneigement!!!
Rich made us feel very welcome, his home and all accommodations are described accurately. We were already familiar with the neighborhood and enjoyed our time there. Overall it was a very positive experience and would stay here again.
We stayed for a long weekend to explore Philadelphia before attending a conference in New Jersey.
We had a great stay! The house is nicely remodeled & updated and was very quiet; yet it also maintained a lot of the character that houses of its era had, which made for a unique & memorable stay.
Parking was readily available during the day, and we had pretty good luck finding parking within the block during the evenings. The parking was free, which is a major perk since everyplace else that we traveled to in Philly was more than we were used to back home.
Most of the high points in downtown Philadelphia are a 15-minute trip or less by car, which was really nice.
I lived in Rich's place for three months while I was on a stay abroad. I stayed with my girlfriend and we really enjoyed our time in Philly. The house is placed close to the subway, meaning that living in South Philly is no problem if you also want to explore the rest of what Philadelphia has to offer. East Passyunk, which has a great up-coming neighbourhood with all of its cafés, bars restaurants, shops is just a few blocks away. Just a bit farther away, but still in walking distance, is the famous Italian Market, where you can get your produce cheap. Rich has made sure to make maps and instruction about most things worth your attention. He was an excellent host, just our first day there Rich invited us out for drinks with some friends making us feel very welcome (and we even got a TV and bed upgrade while staying there). While being in Philadelphia this place really got to feel like our home and bigger compliment can't be given!

About the Host, Rich
I'm a filmmaker and consultant who travels a lot, but Philadelphia is my home base. I've lived in and visited many different places in the US and abroad and hosted travelers many, many times. Good experiences, as host or guest, start with good communications and end with expectations that are fully met.
As a host, I try to make sure that my place offers everything that I've wished for as a traveler -- both the basics and the details. I hope it contributes to your enjoyment of your visit to Philadelphia.

I can't pinpoint the precise date I met Tony Snow, but I remember it was over the telephone. We talked about one of his passions: radio. And we became fast friends. From that point on, we talked every few months, until about three or four months ago when I could only get his voice mail.
I knew something was up because he was always good about returning calls. Still, I probably would have chalked it up to his busy schedule, except that I read news reports that he was forced to cancel a number of speeches because of illness.
I remember e-mailing a few mutual friends: Lucianne Goldberg and Kathryn Lopez. Both shared similar concerns, but we were all cautiously relieved when follow-up news stories reported Tony was OK.
I had no idea Tony had taken a turn for the worse, so the news of his death Saturday completely shocked me. The last time I talked to Tony about his disease, he was entirely upbeat and optimistic.
In retrospect, I have to wonder whether he wasn't sparing some of his friends the extent of his illness because he never wanted to dwell on himself and certainly was never seeking sympathy.
Tony was a person who always gave more than he took or received in a relationship. Even when he called seeking advice or an opinion, he invariably inquired, with absolute earnestness and intense interest, how things were going in my life, and he wouldn't end the conversation until I responded.
The last time I saw him was when he took time out of his insanely busy workday to give my daughters and me a personal tour of the west wing. We will never forget that experience — or his graciousness.
When the White House offered Tony the press secretary position, I was among the many friends he called seeking opinions on whether it was a good move. My guess is that he had already pretty much decided to take the job, but I don't know for sure.
What I do know for sure, though, is how I reacted — and why. At the time, Tony had his nationally syndicated radio show and was working hard on building his affiliate and audience base. He knew if he took the White House position, he would lose his momentum and make less money. But it was obvious he really wanted to take the job.
My unhesitating and unequivocal response was that he should take it. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the position was tailor-made for Tony Snow. It would give him the opportunity to demonstrate his full range of skills, in ways that even television and radio would not. He was excellent on television and radio and a gifted writer; but he would be the best-ever White House press secretary and would immeasurably benefit the Bush administration.
He had a uniquely jovial demeanor; he got along with people of all political persuasions; he treated everyone with respect; he was deeply knowledgeable in all matters with which he would deal and a quick study as to the limited others; he was a fierce advocate for positions he believed in — and most of those aligned nicely with this administration's; and his verbal agility was unparalleled. Even in fierce debate, he was always of good cheer.
But in my opinion, Tony's greatest attributes were his genuineness and authenticity, his impeccable character, his abundant decency as a human being, his likability, his work ethic and, most of all, his profoundly held life priorities, beginning with his paramount and unshakable commitments to God and family.
Many have already spoken of Tony's consuming love for his wife and children and his passion for God. I am but another firsthand witness to his "walking the walk" and, like so many others, greatly admired him for it.
People tend to say very nice things about people who pass away — and that is as it should be; it's the right thing to do. But be assured in Tony's case, all the eulogies you are hearing about and reading are heartfelt and utterly without reservation. Tony was the real article — he and the life he led were examples to which we should all aspire.
Like all the other fortunate people whose lives he touched, I was extremely fortunate to have known Tony Snow. God bless him, as he is now in a better place and no longer suffering. God bless his wonderful family.

For starters, Rays at White Sox, in Shaffer's debut
UPDATE, 7:16: Sounds like Shaffer will be around for a while, playing 1B and occasionally 3B vs. all LHPs, getting some at-bats vs. RHPs. Probably won't get in the outfield, but not out of the question. .... Shaffer will have his parents, brother, fiancee and financee's parents here tonight. ... He said it felt "pretty surreal" and that as much as he hoped to treat it like any other game he knows that is unlikely. ... Cash said DH/OF Joey Butler needs to get going given his extended struggles, that most of his issues have beem missing pitches he had been hitting.
White Sox lineup:
Eaton cf,
Saladino 3b,
Abreu DH,
Cabrera lf,
Ramirez SS,
LaRoche 1b,
Garcia rf,
Sanchez 2b,
Flowers c,
Quintana p
UPDATE, 4:24: Shaffer will wear No. 36, the first since Brooks Conrad in 2012. He is the first player from the Rays 2012 draft to make the majors (and second since 2011, joining Mikie Mahtook). He is their team record 17th rookie this season (16 in '01, '11). Only the Braves (19) and Yankees (18) have used more in 2015. …Full Story

I love Verizon, but...
by Roger Christian
posted Jul 27 2011 8:53AM
I've been a Verizon cell phone customer for many years, and have had a USB "air card" modem for some years for my laptop too. A few month's ago I upgraded to the 4G USB air card because, as they state, of the "lightning" fast downloads. It's been very good so far, BUT we don't have 4G service here in the Buffalo area? I've called their tech support line a few times about this, it's always connected to South Carolina and they've assured me that all NFL markets have 4G already but I tell them we have the Buffalo Bills and DON'T have 4G service...they don't have an answer. I've asked if they can tell when Buffalo will be connected with 4G service, they say "we're not on the roll-out until sometime NEXT YEAR" and they can't be specific when it will happen. I had to laugh last week when Saratoga Springs got 4G Verizon Service, making New York City, Rochester, Elmira the 4G markets in New York State (by the way even Erie, PA has 4G service)? The saga continues...thanks for letting me vent...I feel a whole lot better now!

Accounting Basics: The Accounting Process
By Bob Schneider
As implied earlier, today's electronic accounting systems tend to obscure the traditional forms of the accounting cycle. Nevertheless, the same basic process that bookkeepers and accountants used to perform by hand are present in today's accounting software. Here are the steps in the accounting cycle:
(1) Identify the transaction from source documents, like purchase orders, loan agreements, invoices, etc.
(2) Record the transaction as a journal entry (see the Double-Entry Bookkeeping Section above).
(3) Post the entry in the individual accounts in ledgers. Traditionally, the accounts have been represented as Ts, or so-called T-accounts, with debits on the left and credits on the right.
(4) At the end of the reporting period (usually the end of the month), create a preliminary trial balance of all the accounts by (a) netting all the debits and credits in each account to calculate their balances and (b) totaling all the left-side (i.e, debit) balances and right-side (i.e., credit) balances. The two columns should be equal.
(5) Make additional adjusting entries that are not generated through specific source documents. For example, depreciation expense is periodically recorded for items like equipment to account for the use of the asset and the loss of its value over time.
(6) Create an adjusted trial balance of the accounts. Once again, the left-side and right-side entries - i.e. debits and credits - must total to the same amount. (To learn more see, Fundamental Analysis: The Balance Sheet.)
(7) Combine the sums in the various accounts and present them in financial statements created for both internal and external use.
(8) Close the books for the current month by recording the necessary reversing entries to start fresh in the new period (usually the next month).
Nearly all companies create end-of-year financial reports, and a new set of books is begun each year. Depending on the nature of the company and its size, financial reports can be prepared at much more frequent (even daily) intervals. The SEC requires public companies to file financial reports on both a quarterly and yearly basis.

this house is very good.Because the front has been on a trip, just after leaving to tell Jen, and later did not further contact, very sorry
Eyal and Jen's home was so welcoming :) we were very pleased with our two night weekend stay there. Everything was clean, they had left towels out for us, and cute notes with some tips and friendly pointers. The apartment was located a short cheap uber ride away from all the shops and restaurants. I felt like I was staying at a family members home. :) thank you Eyal and Jen!
We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at Eyal & Jen's place.
From the first message to checking out Eyal was amazing at communication. He responded so quickly and made us feel comfortable and confident about our stay before we got there and also during our stay, including a call asking which number the apartment was when we arrived!
The location is amazing. The street is one of the most picturesque places I have ever stayed and the apartment is also beautiful. Well decorated with loads of room and the king bed was INCREDIBLE. So ridiculously comfortable.
It was about a 20 minute walk to the pier area and while we were there we spent a day walking to the pier then onto Venice beach then back again. It was lovely.
The only annoying parts were that there was no cable TV (as Brits we didn't realise that without cable TV and not just TV, you couldn't watch anything). This was mainly because we didn't realise we wouldn't have it and expected it but it didn't really matter. The other was that sometimes it was hard to find parking. There is a lot of free parking very close by but we were driving around in circles for 10 minutes waiting for someone to leave us a space. Saying that, we always found somewhere very close eventually.
Overall, wonderful location, great hosts and very comfortable. I'd recommend to anyone and would love to stay here again!
Apt is a 2 BR gem.snd a 10 minute walk to the beach and not much further to 3rd street Promenade.One block over fro apt. Ate ships and cafes on Montana street.the neighborhood is beautiful and safe to walk both day andnight.Parking was interesting as we found from neighborhood people that one cannot park in front of the apt building on Fifth street.We found a lot for $14 per day , ten minutes from the apt.I highly recommend staying here.
Thanks, Christine! Whatever you heard about parking is not true! Parking on our street is free. If you read the street signs, you will see that the only time you can't park there is for 2 hours out of the week for street sweeping. Nonetheless, it can be tricky to find a spot in our town, so we provide directions in our manual for other free places to park within 2 blocks of our place. Sorry you didn't find it, but glad you still had a good time! :)
I had a great time in Santa Monica, thanks to Eyal and Jen. They have a lovely place in a perfect location, close to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. They accommodated my early arrival and were gracious in ensuring I had everything I needed, i.e. clean sheets and towels. Their home is very welcoming- clean, quiet, and gets great light. I will definitely try to stay at Jen & Eyal's place next time I'm in LA! Thanks!
Eyal and Jen's place was perfect for what we were looking for. A great apartment a short walk to downtown Santa Monica. They were very accommodating and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their place to anyone looking to stay in Santa Monica.
Paradise West was everything that it was advertised to be. Great location, quiet neighborhood and well maintained bnb. I would stay here again if I visit Santa Monica again.

About the Host, Eyal & Jen
We are a down-to-earth couple (ages 35 and 30) who love to try new things and meet new people. During the week, we're usually pretty busy with school and work, but are happy to host you any day of the week. Eyal is a researcher in social science and prefers unicycling over walking. Jen is a business entrepreneur, and loves to speak in Korean. Looking forward to meeting you!

Canada Post: Lisa Raitt's new arbitrator in labour dispute ran twice for Tories
Labour Minister Lisa Raitt appoints new arbitrator Guy Dufort to settle contract at Canada Post. Dufort has run twice for the Conservatives, which Dufort says he disclosed to both sides.

Labour Minister Lisa Raitt has appointed a new arbitrator with ties to the Conservatives to settle a contract between Canada Post and its 48,000 postal workers.
Raitt has named Guy Dufort, a retired labour lawyer who ran twice for the Conservatives, to replace retired Ontario judge Coulter Osborne, who quit last November after the union went to court to challenge his appointment.
A Federal Court judge later sided with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, arguing that the arbitrator should be bilingual. Dufort is bilingual and has offices in both Montreal and Ottawa.
The union is also challenging the back-to-work legislation which was brought in last June after Canada Post locked out its workers following rotating strikes.
The law calls for final offer arbitration, where both sides present their final positions and the arbitrator selects one without blending aspects from the two sides.
"This process was flawed from the beginning," said CUPW president Denis Lemelin in an email. "Both the back-to-work legislation and the final offer selection that have been forced on us are violations of our right to negotiate and will have long-term repercussions on labour relations."
In a statement Wednesday, the company said it is committed to the arbitration process and pleased that a new arbitrator has been appointed.
"Throughout this process, Canada Post has maintained that urgent action is required to address the corporation's labour costs to ensure we do not become a burden on the Canadian taxpayer," it added.
During his career, Dufort practiced with the law firm Heenan Blaikie and represented Canada Post before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal on a pay equity case. In 2008, Dufort ran for the Conservatives in the riding of Westmount-Ville Marie, and in 2000, he ran in Hull-Aylmer for the Progressive Conservative party.
In a telephone interview, Dufort said he informed both sides that he had represented the company as well as his political activities, and there were no objections.
"Everything has been disclosed to everyone. It's up to them to make up their mind if they're not comfortable with that," Dufort said, adding his appointment is effective Monday.
Anil Verma, a professor at the Rotman School of Management, who specializes in labour relations, said when it comes to appointing an effective arbitrator "the person should be seen by and large in a positive light by both sides."
Verma argued the best respected arbitrators are ones favoured by both management and labour, and neither side would they are pro-union or pro-company.
"Certainly the fact that he is politically active as a Conservative and that he has acted on the employer side would make him to unacceptable to labour," he said. "I would think it a poor choice."
When asked about possible bias, Raitt's spokeswoman Ashley Kelahear said in an email: "Mr. Dufort law career spans over 45 years, during which he has specialized in labour, human rights and civil litigation."
Kelahear added for the past three years, he has worked as an arbitrator and mediator dealing with employment matters and labour rights, noting Dufort's name was on a short list of names of potential bilingual arbitrators put forward by the union in November 2011.

ChromaGun was our entry to Ludum Dare #32. The concept's inception came late at night after a few (ahem) beers. The theme was "an unconventional weapon", and we decided to go with color. The player's objective is to paint walls and enemies with the "ChromaGun". Enemies are attracted to walls of the same color and float towards them. This core mechanic, paired with elements such as button-triggered doors, deadly electrified tiles and particle grids which only allow bullets to pass through, created some seriously entertaining gameplay, even in the early stages of development.

Postmortem: ChromaGun
Good bye Ludumdare
Its me de bad guy Sk3letor from #ludumdare channel, many might not know me well but today 6:43:17 I got banned by NeiloGD with words:
* You were kicked by NeiloGD (You will never learn, and it's been brought to my attention that you've been told time and time again. Please find a community that will tolerate your crap.)
Seems I didint learn NOT to have opinion about diffrent things, so this is a lesson for rest of you guys:
– Dont ever NEVER disagree about anything or you get picked/bullied by other users.
– You are always WRONG, they are right.
– Your best weapon: Idle.
So this is the good bye, have nice rest of life.
After ban I feeled draw one last time art about "fair" man who guards the #ludumdare:
This post might be get removed by butthurted admin but no worry.. de art never cannot been removed.
YOU HAVE BEEN PEWDIEPIED! LD31 post mortem
Hey guys,

Better late than never – Ludum Dare #32 Post Mortem
Usually I am quite early with writing my post mortems, but between work, deadlines, and of course more game development, I didn't really have the time to write one. Frankly, I don't really have time either way, but writing these is always so much fun. So here we go! (more…)
TVGS Ludum Dare Real-World Meeting Post Mortem
[Cross-posted from Tech Valley Game Space]
For Ludum Dare 32, we hosted our second Ludum Dare Real-World Meeting here at the Tech Valley Game Space (TVGS) in Troy, NY, USA. Compared to our previous hosted event (LD 31) we had a greater number of attendees, including a healthy mix of newcomers and veteran jammers. How did it turn out? Get ready for the super-detailed TVGS post-mortem!
Why a real-world meeting?
So this one is an important question: why would we have a real-world meeting for a game jam that prides itself in being online? The short answer is that a real-world gathering provides a number of distinct advantages, both for jammers and Compo participants, that wouldn't be possible if one were to work from their own home. To explain these advantages, however, let's start by discussing some spiritual differences between Ludum Dare and Global Game Jam.
PDF Game "A Knight and A Line (1.1.0)" is Finished!
Finally after several days, the 1.1.0 update has finished. It took a lot of times adding more assets, more dialogues, more concepts, and more. Also, the total page was 126 pages and after update, it is more than 500 pages. Even with 500 pages, the file size is only around 1.4 MB. Also, it was plannedfinished week ago, but I was busy so I managed to finish the update today.
The game can be played/download from this page: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=20503 (in the Post Mortem).
Also, some peek of the screenshots of the updated "A Knight and A Line":
Also, here's the list of the update:
- More scenes
- More arts
- Changed title art
- More dialogues
- Fixed some typos and grammar
I also have updated the description in the game page, to make it more fit with the setting of the game. Also, for a comparison with the previous update, the version 1.0.1 will still be available. Have fun and enjoy the new and longer adventure of the game!
Post Mortem: Chiptunes are fun!
So, seems like the best (music-wise) Ludum Dare game I made music for scored #84 out of 1468 (in Jam). Not bad, glad I focused on just audio this time. Looking forward to beat the record next time!
Aim for weird, get #26 mood!
For several categories, and in general, I think this is by far my best result in LD.
So lets tease it apart and get into that post-mortem mood.
#26 Mood
I wanted to learn the Camera Effects now available to everyone in Unity, and I think I did throw in about half of them.
At the same time! Crazy me. Actually, it might have been a bit too crazy since there were several reports of people getting nausea from playing.
There was an obvious attempt to scare and discomfort without using violence (at least not against other entities), but making players ill was more than I wanted.
There is something about mood, when it comes from strange and trippy-land. I thought it wouldn't do to explain much to the player. It was important that the player got to discover. That is a big part of the mood. So when the game doesn't follow all game-convensions it becomes very hard to ease the player the right way.
One nifty thing I partially succeeded with in regards to this was how the game starts.
The player is locked inside a small room (lower left) with a strong visual queue, the first partial goal. The door only opened after that goal was achieved.
However, the position of where the player started in combination with the size of the trigger meant players happened to get the unlock without understanding they've solved the first part.
Even worse, upon completing a part wild-with-crazy-ideas-me though it good to reset players (using exactly the same visuals as for "death"), which meant players didn't even understand that they were progressing.
#68 Audio
This actually makes me more happy about the community than anything. The game doesn't have music. All it has is some random sounds (thanks squeaky boards in my floor), and me attempting some voice acting. I think that should say something to others, like me, that don't really have the talent to make tunes. There are great tools to procedurally generate music, but not all games will do better with those songs.
#165 Innovation
I expect you get some from the fact that it is a strange game.
I think having a rubber chicken that you hit yourself with is a rather novel weapon.
But in general, I'm actually quite happy that I managed to keep the game logic so conventional.
Except, maybe, having health drain fast with movement.
And a bit uncommon with the "weapon". It is a typical, unlimited use melee weapon, but you are the one being hit. So while it makes you calm/gives you health, it also makes health drain faster when you start to move again.
#169 Graphics
I'm not very good at keeping a style, and very new to 3D models.
So, I did crazy number of models:
And stuck to two and a half colors (Grey, yello, and a splash of red)
I've also been playing some Borderlands, and I really wanted that toony-outline style (not visible here, but play the game and you'll see! ^^ ).
#296 Overall | #659 Humor | #728 Fun
I think this points to general communications issues in the game.
People not progressing fast enough, the game should really never take more than 3 minutes to play.
The feedback on what are the partial targets, that the player progressed, where to go if you don't find the target. It all needed to be better.
Though it seems scary, it is actually more of a fun game if you ask me. But it is only fun if it doesn't take too long and you must reach the end.
#785 Theme
This is just wrong. OK, I was very unhappy with the theme because of its center around violence. But I was wrong there. It was a good theme. A great diversity of games were made.
I still think some either can't let go of weapons needing to hurt others. Or that unconventional must be in the mechanics somehow. It would make me sad if that's the case.
So lets hope the blame is on me, because maybe just noticing there's a rubber chicken isn't enough to say it's good theme-wise (though I don't really see why not), but if people didn't really understand what it was doing… then it is on me. It should have been clearer what the chicken did.
And as it happens, I think I've made a version of the game that actually addresses amost all the issues, so if you are in the mood… give it a try:
Me, I can't wait for the next LD! I'm so happy and proud. Next I'll do something even stranger. That's a promise! (And please excuse my sloppy language in this post)
Rage the Stage – postmortem
Rage the Stage was our 3 game and the first as a team of 3 people.
We accepted the challenge "why not try something new".
So no Java and no Libgdx. A bigger challenge for sammakko as for me.
For our 3th game we used Godot Engine. I've had some training with the MiniLD #58 – MuMoPo.
Our only preparation was thinking during the theme voting about what game we can make with the themes.
Unfortunately, for An Unconventional Weapon we haven't any cool idea!
Jam session
dark3zz (soundcloud.com/dark3zz) has joined us for the first time with his amazing equipment.
For us, he was big source of inspiration and pushed us forwards.
What worked out well
– teamwork (first time working in threes)
– no major problem with Godot
What didn't worked out well
– only on the last day we had a working game to play and improve the gameplay.
Need improvement
– no more music game and no more e-guitar
Many thank's to
sammakko – the main programmer
dark3zz – master of music
and YOU – for helping to improve the gameplay and voting

Killing mutants with carrots + kissing + boss fight! LD31 postmortem
Hey guys,
although we haven't been able to participate in Ludum Dare this time we still would like to show you our last game, which would have been quite fitting for this theme…you are a bunny defending a giant carrot and killing mutants with, well, CARROTS! 😀 We have been working on our last LD31 Jam entry "Of Carrots And Blood" and we have released it on itch.io for free for Windows and Mac and it is also coming out on Desura soon. We have added powerups, different enemy types, a global highscore for the single player and we have also added a local 2 player Co-op mode (which is the most fun) with a big boss fight surprise in the end! So please check it out
Download OF CARROTS AND BLOOD on itch.io here!
And for those of you who already know the Jam version, it would be really cool, if you could compare the two versions and tell us here in the comments, if we applied your feedback for the better or worse 😉 More feedback much appreciated!
Download OF CARROTS AND BLOOD on itch.io here!
Thanks, have fun playing

The Jonbar Point – Post-mortem
Hi there! We're No Wand Studios, a Spanish indie video game development studio. The Jonbar Point had been the game we created on our first Ludum Dare participation. It was sort of a challenge for us because it was our first time in a jam and we only had less than 60 hours instead of 72, but still wanted to make a game as good as if we would dedicate the full 72 hours to it. Finally, we made it and we could upload a fully playable version for the jam in time. And that's one of the things we're proud of.
What went right?
+ "Making the games we want to play": That's one of our main goals when we created this studio, so our first jam video game had to accomplish this requirement. We think The Jonbar Point has a very interesting starting point and concept. In fact, we would like to make the full game one day if people are really interested in it.
+ No Wanders assemble!: This Ludum Dare was a real test for our teamwork. Until now, we know about our individual skills and we have worked with no time pressures making a video game, but we had never need to work together at this levels. With the final result we can say that we have a perfect team composition.
+ Time management: One of our concernings before getting to work was how to deal with time and work distribution. In the brainstorming we came up with a lot of great ideas for the game (more holograms and upgrades, enemies outside the library, a bigger map…). But there wasn't time for all that! We know very well our limits for this Ludum Dare and we can say that we nailed it at this point!
What went wrong?
Mostly nothing! But if we have to say something…
– Bugs (obviously): They are always here. But in this particular case we have no time for many test… Nevertheless, they are not very annoying bugs or at least people haven't complained very much about this.
–A broken programmer: And an underslept art designer as well. We reach the uploading deadline quite tired. But happy. Maybe it was caffeine or maybe it was the feeling about see your little game working and being finished in time. Maybe next time we have to put some sleeping time in our schedule… or maybe not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
– You always can do better!: We have to close our eyes with some issues and put it in the final version because we didn't have enough time (#nollegamos, a Spanish translation for #WeDon'tArrive). Music could be better fitted and less repetitive, pixel art has some scope for improving and other stuff like that. We're quite self-demanding with our work and maybe this makes a bit influence in this feeling.
We are very happy with the result of this first Ludum Dare for us. People who had played and commented the game says nice things about it and that's what we want to create: a little prologue for a possible bigger story, if enough people are interested in this concept. The experience in this jam was very enriching for us, and we can't wait until the next edition of Ludum Dare comes.
Stay tunned!
You Brought A Knife To A Gun Fight! Audio postmortem!!
Instead of a written post, I thought it would be a good idea if Alan and I recorded our thoughts on the jam, what went right, what went wrong, what we liked and what we'd improve for a podcast! The result is linked below. Enjoy!
Nightfall: A Post-Mortem Story
Finally, Nightfall post-mortem After some problems, got the game submitted on time. First time on LudumDare!
What is the game about
You control Doctor Sheerin, a brilliant researcher who finds a new and amazing thing: The Darkness. But his new discover didn't got the attention of the population the way he desire: they want to destroy it. People are afraid of The Darkness, since the planet they live is surrounded by light all the time at each single point of its surface. So Doc. Sheerin must protect the reactor, a huge machine that generate and nurture a practical gun that fire shots of darkness at things, reacting extremely weird at living beings.
How the hell you got this??
Since the theme was announced at 10 P.M. where I live (Brazil, hu3 hu3 I REPORT U), and I was at a friend's birthday party, I decided to do a beerstorm there. So I did. Got some theme ideas, listed below, with a short description of each one (used Trello to list them):
Ideas and development tracking
- candy (*): something mixing Katamari with Pokémon, but you throw the candy, enemies with the same color got stuck on it. Then you keep the candy with you, like pokeballs, and use again against other enemies (of course could be a limit of enemies attached to it);
- beach: I dunno, was too drunk to think how it could be a good idea;
- street racing: using the cars as weapons, but each car kills just their driver;
- music notes: you fight your enemy doing the correct music sequence, realized there are plenty of games like it;
- birthday (hah!): pretty unconventional, celebrate the birthday of your enemies to the death!
- cat launcher: like a rocket launcher, but with cats, and you control the cat (based on my cat);
- change the enemy size: shrink or grow its size, could have been funny;
- darkness (***): use a darkness burble to surpass enemies on your path;
- beer hose: like the water hose from firemen, but with beer! Put down your enemies with this delicious beverage;
- worm launcher: like a rocket launcher, but with worms, and… eh, OK;
- control the enemy: control the enemy while inside the field of action;
- the weapon is your character, versus himself: cool idea, but how?
- object from space (**): annihilate living beings!
- religion: convert enemies into allies. But if gods decide to interfere?
- the level (*): use the level as weapon.
Baby's First Post-Mortem: Score Attack!
Score Attack! Post-Mortem
Hello all, I go by Boateye on the internet, but you can call me boateye, since we're instant best friends!
This was my very first Ludum Dare, but second Game Jam (I did the most recent miniLD #58). And I learned quite a bit. As such, I'll hold up game dev tradition and make my first ever Post-Mortem!
What went well:
- Making my own pixel art for the game was surprisingly fun!
- I was able to effectively reuse some of the sounds that I made for my Mini LD#58 entry, Combat Pong, which saved me a bunch of time.
- The game was actually fun to playtest! This is a first for the games I have made.
- This slightly ore abstract theme was much better and easier to implement than my original idea
- The shooting and flying feels really good. One of the main details that I ike to focus on is "Game Feel", and I think that this is my best effort so far.
- The central mechanic of using different amounts of your own score to kill enemies was fun for people like me who want to get maximum value from every action in a game. Trump, and Lous Scott-Vaargas would be proud
- The upgrades were fun to implement.
- The enemies spawning and moving in the background of the title, ending and upgrade screen were an accident, but it ended up looking nicer than what I had planned. I love moments like these during game development!
- Itch.io is a really great website for hosting games online. I encourage anyone who has not tried them yet to host their next project on there.
- Feedback is very positive!
What went less than well
- There was a bug where the enemies weren't awarding the right amount of points to the player
- The Smart bomb wasn't working at the time of release. It was now adding the accurate amount of score based on enemies killed. That is now mostly fixed.
- I wasn't able to implement mini-health bars for the regular enemies that require multiple hits to help the player find the most effecient way of killing enemies.
- I was not able to implement good tutorial levels to teach the player the main schtick of the game, outside of the game's text description which no one reads :p
- Art is unremarkable, but functional.
- There aren't as many levels as I would like. The game is very short.
Overall, I feel that Score Attack was a success for my first proper LD game. More things went well than wrong, and even the things that went wrong were easily fixable post-jam. I'm really proud of Score attack, and I encourage you to check it out if you like Shmups!
Lightbender: Post-Mortem
Here's the usual post-mortem run-down for Ludum Dare 32: Lightbender. I usually do "What Went Right" and "What Went Wrong," but there are elements of both in most of these categories.
The Rock the Paper and the Scissors – Postmortem
Hi everyone! The jam is over, and we'd like to share some of our experiences making our entry: "The Rock the Paper and the Scissors".
Who are we?
Bogdan, Igor, Zi, and Megan. With our powers combined, we are BIZM!
This is the first Ludum Dare for Bogdan, Igor and Megan. Zi participated in LD31, and came in 2nd place in the jam with Escape Character.
What went right?
We invested quite a bit of time (3 hours) to brainstorming, and we think it was well worth it. When the theme was announced, we separately thought up our own ideas. We then presented every idea, chose our favourites, and started analyzing and elaborating those. For each idea, we asked questions like:
- Is it a clever use of the theme?
- Is this fun?
- Does this idea rely on presentation and polish? Or does it rely on quantity of content or replayability? Which of these things is our team able to accomplish within 3 days?
If an idea did not meet certain criteria, we tried to modify it to do so. By the end of the first 3 hours, we had an idea that we all believed had great potential — a Western-themed rock-paper-scissors dueling game on top of a moving train.
The characters were quite challenging to create. Each enemy has two hands, each of which could be facing in any of three different directions, and could be held in any of three configurations (rock, paper, or scissors). This meant a total of 18 different hand sprites for the enemies.
Each hand is programmatically controlled, and is attached to an arm that is also programmatically controlled to be in one of three poses. The arms are attached to a torso which bounces up and down on the legs, and the character itself is standing on a train that also bounces up and down. To make this complicated animation system work, we had to embed special "anchor pixels" inside of the sprites.
Bogdan was delegated to music instead of programming. This decision was made on the assumption that our game would greatly benefit from an original Western-y soundtrack, and we were right! Having the music ready early actually informed the decision to turn our game into a rhythm game. This was lucky, since the rhythm dueling mechanic became one of the most enjoyable aspects of the game. You can listen to our music on SoundCloud.
Sometimes, we realized that a particular feature we originally wanted was probably not going to happen (due to time constraints). We turned losses into gains by accepting what we cannot do, and figuring out how to make what we can do even better in the remaining time.
For example, when we realized that it was not feasible to create complex A.I.-driven behaviours for each enemy, we changed the game into a rhythm game where the A.I. uses repeating hand patterns that follow the rhythm of the music. This decision was actually made in the last day of the jam!
Sleep & Food
We were, for the most part, well-fed and well-rested. We were never burned out during development, and this was definitely a good thing!
What went wrong?
Time Management
We were not as aware of the big picture as we could have been. Ideally, we should predict inevitable changes well in advance, and reprioritize accordingly. It's very difficult to completely avoid cutting features due to time constraints. However, with better time management, we can make these cuts earlier. That way, we would have more time to adapt, instead of realizing on the last day that our game will be half as big as it was originally intended.
What now?
We are planning to expand our game into a full commercial product. We hope to expand on the mechanics, and add lots more content!
In the meantime, we've uploaded a post-jam version of the game to itch.io with some fixes and slight improvements over the original.
Download post-jam version on itch.io
This has been a very fun jam for us. We learned a lot, and consider it a success, especially given that this is our first time working as a team.
If you haven't yet, please consider playing and rating our game. We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments! 😀
