So I was initially somewhat bummed by my results when I first saw them.

While I certainly could have placed lower, I wouldn't necessarily call my final placements mindblowing. I was more than a few places lower than my last entry, which was itself a few steps down from my entry before that. In fact, my placements were around the same as my first Ludum Dare's results. So am I getting worse at this? I thought I did a pretty good job this time around...

That's what I thought before I compared my raw scores instead of my relative placements:

So, statistically, this has been one of my best Ludum Dares thus far! But if my scores are so high, why was my placement so low? Well, one look at the LD historical data and we see:

This was the most popular Ludum Dare by a significant margin! So I'm not getting worse, there were just so many more fantastic games this time around!

Congratulations to everyone on their fabulous entries, and I can't wait to do this all again in October!
