Some Polishing, thats long overdue

Today I spent some time polishing HashtagLove for the upcoming Baltic Games Fest in 4 weeks. I reduced the default resolution to 1600x900 for better browser compatibility and made resizing possible. There’s still an issue with fonts on non-standard resolutions, but that’s for another day. I also finally got the emojis to display correctly on browsers!

I learned an important lesson: game jam games shouldn’t be continued after the jam 😅. The main challenge was setting up the proper font and fallback font to support emojis and system fonts. Since I started using a centralized font configuration late in the project, there were still bugs scattered around, making debugging and reuploading tricky.

But in the end, it was fun, and I think it’s in a good place now.

Future plans:

A German translation for BGF (in case people aren’t comfortable with English) Multiple avatars Background music But that’s for tomorrow, for now, I’m off to enjoy the sun!
