01:07: Read new comments on the jam entry and the itch pages, draft replies for the boss

• Derelict's jam entry and the itch pages for Derelict and Hullbound: anything new since 23 Oct, and what it asks for.
• Draft a reply in the boss's voice for any comment that needs one; I don't post it. If one names a fix that's small and real, make it.

01:08: Look at what Derelict's rooms show inside, for the Graphics vote

• The jam commenter wished for "images of the interiors". Screenshot the live practice board and read how rooms are drawn: is there anything inside a room besides its name?
• If rooms are empty boxes, size up drawing simple furniture by room type in canvas, with no image keys, before 31 Oct 03:00Z. Look only; build next turn.

02:54: r/AndroidGaming is closed to the boss's account; record it, strike the draft

• FACTS: the rule the boss showed and their words. Mark the r/AndroidGaming draft as not usable in app/store/REDDIT-ANDROID.md; r/MobileGames stays, with its sidebar to be checked.

02:55: Derelict room pictures: 8 painted scenes, shown the first time you enter that kind of room

• Boss yes (FACTS 25 Oct). One batch of 8 on the image key, using the same script and style as the disaster cards in src/game/art; no reruns beyond a bad one or two.
• Room kinds from the ship's room names: medbay, engineering, cargo hold, bridge, armoury, crew quarters, hub, reactor. webp at the cards' size.
• Show it in the log panel once per room kind per run, without covering the board; the replay stays exact (display only). Tests, tsc, a look on the live-like dev page, deploy, then both itch zips rebuilt for the boss before 31 Oct 03:00Z.

Next

• 25 Oct after 11:07Z: the daily, if today's derelict is missing.
• DERELICT (AI Browser Game Jam 5, submitted 20 Oct): competition check today. Rating opens 31 Oct; never rate entries myself.
• HULLBOUND (main work), live on Google Play since 24 Oct. Waiting on the boss: - itch: upload both zips before 31 Oct 03:00Z (Derelict 317,069: crew button and room pictures; Hullbound 431,940: Play link and room pictures), paste the new "AI Tools Used" line from app/store/ITCH-DERELICT.md into the jam form, and paste the itch description from app/store/ITCH-HULLBOUND.md (24 Oct: the Play line). - Reddit drafts in app/store/REDDIT-ANDROID.md (r/AndroidGaming [DEV], r/MobileGames). The next Reddit ask is not before 27 Oct. - Phone: check that Shipwright stays hidden after buying; uninstall com.bananafestdestiny.hullbound.test; turn off wireless debugging. - Offered, not yet decided: move the deck wall into the first session; count a Bulkhead purchase as Shipwright.
• Hullbound watch, each day: Android installs from strangers (events.sh distinct phone-app browsers above 1); crew-from-hb, crew-start-from-hb, crew-play-dock; tale-* pings; writer spend in crew-stats.sh against MONTHLY_CAP $10.
• Feedback Friday on r/incremental_games, 30 Oct, sidebar first (Rule 1D).
• BULKHEAD (upkeep): the daily keeps running. The boss sets the itch price from $12 to $9. Build the 1.20 upload round (plan/2026-10-22.md Next) only when the boss has an upload slot.
• 27 Oct: re-read sittings.sh (as in plan/2026-10-22.md Next) only if there are 20 or more web sittings.

01:07: Read new comments on the jam entry and the itch pages, draft replies for the boss

• Jam entry: one comment, smokeyai's Cold torch report. It was fixed and deployed 23 Oct 15:20 and is in the 167,081 zip itch plays now. The reply drafted for the boss that day isn't posted (0 replies on the page). The Derelict and Hullbound itch pages have no comments. mail/in is empty.
• Competition check (due today), from the jam's entries feed: 190 entries, 358 joined, 0 ratings on any entry because rating opens 31 Oct. Categories: Overall, Fun, Graphics, Audio, Theme, AI Usage. There's no rank to read until ratings open, so the target of top 20 (about the top 10%) can only be judged after 31 Oct.
• What can still move before submissions close (31 Oct 03:00Z): the build on itch. The new Derelict zip (crew button) needs the boss's upload before then. The jam commenter's "images of the interiors" lines up with the Graphics category.

01:08: Look at what Derelict's rooms show inside, for the Graphics vote

• Live practice board (Gallowglass Station), screenshot in the scratchpad: rooms aren't empty boxes. Bulkhead's renderer already draws their furniture: med beds and cabinets in the medbay, a reactor and consoles in engineering, crates in the cargo hold, racks in the armoury, the hub's pillars and lift. So the commenter's "images of the interiors" doesn't mean furniture; it means pictures, like the cover and the eight disaster cards in src/game/art.
• The way to do that is about 8 painted room scenes (medbay, engineering, cargo hold, bridge, armoury, quarters, hub, reactor) in the cover's style, each shown once in the log panel the first time you step into that kind of room. It needs the image keys, so I'm asking the boss and building nothing yet. It also has to be up on itch before 31 Oct 03:00Z.
• The playwright headless shell was missing again and has been reinstalled.
• Finished 01:09

02:54: r/AndroidGaming is closed to the boss's account; record it, strike the draft

• FACTS has the rule and the boss's "Can't post here". The draft is marked not usable. The ThreadFox summary ("must start with [DEV]") left out the 50 community karma and activity requirement. LEARNED-worthy: a secondhand rule summary is missing the gate that matters, so ask the boss to read the sidebar before writing a draft for a sub.

02:55: Derelict room pictures: 8 painted scenes, shown the first time you enter that kind of room

• Boss: "Yeah, use the imahge generator" (FACTS 25 Oct).
• Room names over 400 generated ships: Bridge 400, Crew quarters 400, Cargo hold 325, Drive section 300, Engineering 300, Lab 236, Galley 231, Life support 229, Escape pods 213, Medbay 209, Hangar 176, Armoury 171, Central hub 100, Lift lobby 100. The 8 pictures: bridge, quarters, cargo, engineering (also used for the drive section), lab, galley, life support, medbay. The other six names show no picture.
• gpt-image-1 now answers "The model 'gpt-image-1' does not exist" (8 refusals, nothing made). /v1/models lists gpt-image-1.5, 2 and 2.5, so I used gpt-image-1.5 at medium, 1536x1024, the 16 Oct style line plus "mostly cold dark blue and teal; amber only as one or two small lights". The first test medbay came out orange next to the old cards, so all 8 were made again with that line. 9 images, about 1950 output tokens each. The script that read the key (app/scripts/zz-img.mjs) is deleted.
• In the game: src/game/rooms/*.webp, 768x512, 148 KB for all 8. In the room message, a 132 px picture on the left, shown the first time per run you enter that kind of room. It's display only; moves and replays are unchanged. Checked on dev at 1280 wide (Life support) and 390 wide (Drive section); the board isn't covered.
• Tests 244 passed, tsc clean. Deployed twice (game, then the press page). The live bridge and medbay assets are 200, and the live derelict-itch.zip (317,069) and hullbound-itch.zip (431,940) match local. The AI disclosure in store/ITCH-DERELICT.md and on /press/derelict now names gpt-image-1.5 for the room pictures.
• The boss uploads both zips before 31 Oct 03:00Z, and pastes the new "AI Tools Used" line from ITCH-DERELICT.md into the jam form.
• Finished 03:09
