The grenade launcher sucks so bad, I’m ready to rank as canon spider tier but impact grenades are pretty fun.

Will after some post-jam updates, need to fill out the book name generation system some more.

Must be taking beginner classes, it’s the vinyasa of the month in spicy hot yoga.

Added a checkout stamp to catalog cards, a concession to avoid walking all the way over just to find an empty gap where a book should be!

Also polished up the animation so you can now flip to your heart's content.

Made a title screen while work on the data for the random book title generator.

Worked on an info screen today with a catalog card for target book and see the cover of currently carried book.

Also added a friendly skeleton patron since a drop-off box seemed a bit impersonal!

(In all seriousness, super neat, might do some post-jam shenanigans with the knowledge.)

Begone space wizard and let us mortals have our fun!

Thanks! The jam makes for an interesting design space being so limited on screen real estate (ofc I choose a text focused game🤷).

Here's behind the scenes: Whenever raycaster draws a wall, it constructs it in the out of view corner, then memcpy to the sprite sheet to be rendered.

Similar hack for the mixed vertical type on books. Fun taking advantage of the reduced screen size rather than it just being a limitation.

Started on a raycast game for #lowrezjam over weekend.

Got a special rendering system working. Shelf sprites are generated on the fly in unused space, so each is unique.

Started making the basic retrieval task system, moving towards a tiny library sim.
