And Day 8 of the jam ends with the first full set of clown portraits - featuring Be Nielson as the Cashier Clown! Level 2's closing cutscene has been finished, and it looks great with the new Cashier portraits. Level 3 is up next, and is most of what I'll be working on until the deadline. Beyond that, all that's really left are portraits, polish, and some optional things -- namely, I would like to get Clown Mode to switch the actual ingredients around, but the conveyor belt scenes are already pushing the Game Boy Color's performance, so we'll see if I can get that working without tanking the frame rate.
the cashier clown!
Speaking of performance, I went back and optimized Level 2's conveyor belt scene. I'm not sure how I didn't notice the frame drops there until this morning! It runs much smoother now :)
