Day 8/9/10 - update
I think today is day 10... (I kinda lost track of time.) I took a day off as I was getting fatigued. Took the time to watch some youtube tutorials and talks about pixel art, it is really interesting. Anyway, after feeling refreshed, it was back onto the tasks. I worked on trying to setup the transition points, but it gave me quite a few problems. Had to fix a lines in a few scripts but basically it was resolved by changing the reference object. I spent quite alot of time working on the bunny's house, and there's still alot of work left to do. But I managed to came up with a rough idea for it.
It's not exactly what I had in mind, but it turned out okay. You may have also noticed, but I tried experimenting with dithering. I think it looks nice, better than a single splotch of colour that grabs too much attention. I'm pretty sure I did alot of things wrong with it, but at the same time it looks correct, and I think it's nice, so everything worked out in the end. I still plan to refine it further, but I'll leave it as it is for now and move on to other tasks.
I also planned to implement quite a few things in the carrot house, but I am not sure if I have the time to do it. It is still a very rough idea, but I will definitely flesh it out even when the jam is over. But for now (today), I would like to shift my focus to finishing up the UI and the sound for the game. Hopefully I can finish everything by today so that I can start refining my game in various ways.
Thanks for reading!

-Music and Sound effects. Looping BGM, character movement sounds. (to be done)
