Down but not out. tl;dr game is not gonna be done today, but it will be finished this week. That's fine.

Here's how my "coffee break grand strategy space conquest" game is looking right now:

The hope for today was just to be polishing the game and getting my planned card system into the ship battles. Instead today has mostly been fighting the bugs of pieceing together the the two halves of the game (the map and the battle screen) along with fighting AI bugs.

I descoped a bunch of things for a future wish list but looking where I am now I'm not going to get to a point today where I'm happy for people to play it yet.

I was always going to enter in the Extra cateogry anyway (as I don't like the judging stuff) but I really wanted to be finished in the jam timeline. Now that's not possible I'm going to have to finish up in evenings this week. Though time in evenings is short so it may take until next weekend until I finally release.

Disappointed to have missed the deadline and now have the game drag through the next week. However on the up side there's a ton I like about this game and I can still see myself working on it beyond Ludum Dare.
