I've seen some really cool entries so far, and I'm already excited to test them all. I haven't made any diary entries 'cause I didn't know this was a thing haha, but I’d like to share a summary of today's progress and setbacks. (٥↼_↼)
Since yesterday, I've been working on the gameplay of our game, including interactions with the NPCs and their three states 7u7. Everything was going great—I only needed to "synchronize" the player's light with the Influence bar to complete the gameplay and move on to bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements, like some simple text elements (you’ll see them soon, I hope).
But we ran into a problem. Until now, I had been working from a laptop, dealing with things beyond my control, like blackouts, unstable internet, and other issues. But now, I no longer have the laptop, so I completely depend on electricity to use my desktop PC. (Not to get political, but this is due to the dictatorship that rules the country—incapable of providing even the most basic necessities in the 21st century. ಠ_｣ಠ)
I wanted to make this entry to let you all know that if we can’t finish the game, it won’t be because of time, creativity, or determination—but due to external circumstances.
See you tomorrow with another update!

Your game looks good, but the fact that you managed to do this in such a minimal setup is shocking and what makes your game stand.

I find it more doable to do diary entries in segments of x to y days as opposed to daily. Writing them in chunks makes it more like a summary or compilation of what you have done over the course of 2-3 days per segmented diary entry and depending on how much you get done could theoretically fluff the entry better than you otherwise would daily....It can also save time in some small way that could be better spent working on the project.Other than that, just do the best you can. If anything, submit what you have anyway. You could always come back and create the full version of it afterwards.
