I've gone from this

to this

Okay, so yeah obviously today was mostly code, but there's a mini life sim going on in the background! And an actual full game loop (although no main menu screen).

I did create that new pixel font from scratch because the micro font that was ready in my JS library was a bit too small / hard to read, and I had to write a util to parse fonts from images because for some reason before now I thought it was a good idea to transcribe the pixel info into a JSON array by hand... yeah I probably should have done that before the jam. Well the joys of using your own libraries, jam's certainly show what you should have done already.

The in progress code is on github and I'm committing as I go https://github.com/delphic/LD46-Keep-It-Alive (yes the game code is all in one huge JS file :)).

Tomorrow will be about art, content and polish. Whilst I'm no where near the 10% mechanics, 90% polish advice you often hear, 50% mechanics, 50% polish is much better than I normally do.

Good night everyone!
