I wrote a "postmortem" of our jam game Blastsmith and the jam experience in whole — in the form of 4 Things that went right and 4 that went wrong. It's the first time I have done anything like this so check it out and tell me what you think:

I would also love to see and read other jam postmortems or dev stories, so if you have one,  share it!

I wrote one up after seeing this post, mine isnt as polished as I wrote it from the back of a card during a 8 hour trip so I apologize for how messy it is. I wanted to write one for a while but havent put in the time.

Your postmortem page is super well put together and pretty. I love a good postmortem

This was really cool to read! I think these write-ups give an interesting insight into the developer's mind and their thoughts about the process. I really liked the format you had with this, especially the "lessons" part - like you said I think it's important to get these thoughts out when they are still fresh in the mind. Thanks for sharing this.

And thanks for liking my postmortem too :)

I decided to go all out and made a video: 

It's my first video on youtube, so I definitely still have a lot to learn, but I think that it's good enough for a first time.

I also got inspired by your postmortem to write one, And I didn't even knew about postmortems before!
So this might be the first postmortem I ever wrote.
It's quite messy since it's my first time doing it but here it is:

We wrote a dev log sharing some development details for Chronodog. I hope some of you will find that interesting,
