     Not much gamedev today. Saw my mother for Mother's Day and went out to a concert in the evening.

     I've synced the fully loaded game start with the drop of the loading screen. I also played around with some art styles. Thinking of going with 64px hexes.

     I have a playable version up at https://alexjgriffith.com/temp/debris-dawn-0.1.0.html

     - [x] Hex map wrapping
     - [x] Multiple Random Island Generation
     - [x] "working" with luajit and lua5.4

     I'm glad I chose to work with my template, working out a lot of kinks in the repl.

     My focus tomorrow will be on replacing the Art.

     Wrapping the hexmap is now working in x and y for both mouse selection and autotiling!

     Now just to fix the distance calculation so pathing will work

     Lots of work under the hood today implementing vehicles and npcs. Hopefully I will finalise the character controller tomorrow.

     I now have constraint based placement of all locations and objects in the game working.

     Thank you sets!

     Half way through the jam!

     This evening was focused on finalising the Art and getting it working in #love2d

     Right now locations are randomly placed, but I'm working on constraint based NPC / location placement

     Over lunch today I fixed my seed generation issue and got runtime errors and startup time errors showing up properly on the browser.

     Startup errors are non-recoverable, which can be a pain on the web with its "long" load times. What I really need to do is get assert-repl working in love2d.

     Today's focus was reorganising everything under the hood into something that can be turned into an actual game.

     I'm also thinking of going back to 32px hexes, but using oversized landmarks and units.

     Work is progressing on the new 64px tileset. Its nice working with the extra pixels, but its hard putting them to use without making the image look like noise.

     Got a little distracted today and wrote a layout engine.

     It is highly constrained, but lets me write a layout that would normally be 500 lines of fennel in less than 100

     My submission Debris Dawn is up on itch

     I've had a blast this week working on my submission. It went from a civilisations exploration stage game to a survival horror game real quick.

     I really like how the feel of the game turned out. If I had an other couple of days I'd have prioritised improving the interface and writing tool tips.
