Ludum Dare 22 Postmortem!!!!

Ludum Dare 22 Postmortem

Welcome to the Ludum Dare 22 post-mortem survey!

The order of these questions is randomized so everyone will get a different version of the survey. Every 100 or so responses, I collect the data and reset the survey because surveymonkey hides the data past #100 unless you pay - so although the results may report only a few responses, thus far there have been around 500!

Your data will appear in my upcoming book, "GAME JAM SURVIVAL GUIDE" and will be used to help other people in future game jams.

Kindly rate each statement according to how strongly it describes your game jam experience this weekend.

Thanks so much for filling out this short questionnaire! I'm really grateful. You are awesome!

Kind regards,

Christer Kaitila (McFunkypants)
