#2Grats! This is a great accomplishment. Releasing teaches you 1000% more than just making a demo and not releasing. There's lots of little things you need to do extra. Then you learn from the crits, feedback and reviews of others.
Again, well done!

#3Creating a game a month is hard enough - impressive to see it completed using many different programming languages and frameworks

#4Doesn't "Post Mortem" imply analysis after failure? I'd say he was successful. :-)

Goodness me, I feel like I let myself down now by not releasing a flash game I made a while back.

#6I very much enjoyed this report, and especially the fact of a significant target of your attention being the ZX Spectrum - this is a true and honest approach to the programming art!
:)
Its definitely true that even learning older architectures can sharpen your focus and skill, general platform dexterity. You may not use a lot of the Z80 assembly skills elsewhere (but then again; you might), but for sure the bounds of your depth and understanding of how computers work today are definitely reset. Sure, stay 'focused on Ruby'/et al. - but if you have to pace yourself at your day-job, having a fun project/waste of time in the same department albeit with significantly fewer bits is also, as in such an attentive case, a professional perk. Old computers never die; their users do!

It doesn't seem to imply that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmortem_documentation

Especially with games, gameasutra runs postmortems with devs frequently to talk about both successes and failures in their projects.

#9+Infinity points for targeting the good old Speccy.

Especially considering it was done alongside a job. I wonder how much time he actually had per month to work on it
