I'm back from my break, which is to say I didn't go anywhere I just stopped working on Joshua 24:15 specifically, and to my credit I almost didn't think about it at all. I added a few pictures to the moodboard but any time I started thinking about the game I just gently put it aside for later.
That's kind of a big deal. I am guilty of all the unhealthy work habits and probably invented a few new ones--and I know exactly why I'm like this but knowing it doesn't fix it.
So I've looked at the forthcoming features list and broken it down a bit. Layout and art can be set aside for now, they're completely separate tasks from mechanics. My modest goal for the Finish Your Game Jam is to finish a complete ashcan.
So just looking at mechanics left to finish they fall into three natural clusters, which is convenient since there's more or less three weeks in the jam.
Barring illness or calamity (touch wood) I don't think any of these needs to take a whole week, even with the most relaxed schedule, but I also want to work on pacing myself.
Our heating was finally fixed today so that's good news. I hope if you're reading this you're comfortably warm and the inside of your house isn't foggy.
