To coincide with the imaginary release of the best polka game ever made, Gamasutra has posted a hilarious postmortem of Accordion Hero, the game where you "polka your way up from Der Rathskeller to Oktoberfest in Munich!"

We could quote every other sentence, but since no one reads anything on Gamasutra Postmortems except "what went wrong", here's a lesson learned from the intrepid Schadenfreude team:

We should have used motion capture for the in-game characters, but we simply did not room for it in our budget. Thus the characters dance very badly, but that is all right — we Germans are traditionally known for our stubborn and fastidious natures and our fondness for zeppelins, not any innate ability to shake our groove things.

We love Accordion Hero. Hey, Sparky, thou sultry mynx - when are you going to get around to actually finishing your real game?
