The old and the new player pieces side by side.
It’s well past midnight, and most jammers are taking a well earned break from jamming while enjoying some late-night snack. Sugarush (my team) are taking a small break, after finally beginning to get things together. We did run into some issues throughout the day where we broke the game, fixed it, broke it again, adding rules to cover up broken stuff and so on. Finally, we tore down the game, and left only the core mechanics in place. From there we started anew. Some of the basics of the game have drastically changed during the last few hours, and we have solved many problems. (Including ones we didn’t know we had)

Play testing!
Trying to think outside of the group is proving to be a challenge, as it always is when you grow close to a project. Luckily we are participating in a Jam where both organizers and other teams are eager to help! We have had multiple play test sessions, constantly getting great feedback from people that are genuinely interested in the project.

People, possibly driven mad by to much jamming, eating onion soup.
There are now only 13 hours to hand in, and it seems many groups intent to stay most of the night. This obviously does not go for everyone, as the line for dinner was much longer than the line for the late-night snack. Honestly, I’m not impressed with the snack. Although I do understand the reason for a more healthy meal than what “snack” usually refers to, I still don’t understand how people in their right mind are able to eat onion soup.
