The fox-like Tanuki often appears in Japanese folklore as a shape-shifter with supernatural powers and mischievous tendencies, and is the protagonist of our game.
Go Home Tanuki (You're Drunk) was created at Global Game Jam 2016 and uses the theme "Ritual" to exemplify the results of a demanding work ethic common in Japan. Tanuki spends his days working, drinking, going home, repeat - and the player's job is to make sure he gets home safely, at least for tonight.
You can play the game here

You will need to first install Node.js and the grunt-cli: npm install -g grunt-cli.
Download and unpack Go Home Tanuki. Or alternatively checkout from source:
git clone https://github.com/JoeKarlsson/go-home-tanuki
cd go-home-tanuki
Next, inside the project, you need to install the project's various NPM dependencies:
npm install
And you should now be ready to spin up a development build of your new project:
grunt
##Updating Code from GitHub
Navigate to the game directory in terminal cd Desktop/go-home-tanuki
If you don't care about any local changes and just want a copy from the repo:
git fetch --all
git pull
Your code should now be up to date! ;)
##Contributing
- Fork it!
- Create your feature branch:
git checkout -b my-new-feature - Commit your changes:
git commit -am 'Add some feature' - Push to the branch:
git push origin my-new-feature - Submit a pull request :D
- Use relative file paths for any assets loaded by your HTML or JavaScript. This will negate any potential path issues when the game is later uploaded to a webserver.
- If you intend to store development assets (i.e PSD's, Texture Packer files, etc) inside your project, store them outside of the
srcdirectory to avoid bloating your builds with them. - Borwserify is crazy powerful. I'm not going to quote Spiderman, but you should definitely check out Substack's Browserify Handbook.
- Linting is disabled by default, if you'd like to enforce it for production builds update the
.jshintrcwith rules for your coding style and remove the comment block from jshint directive in the gruntfile's build task.
NPM via Browserify, Jade, Stylus, Lodash, JsHint, Uglify.js, Source maps, Stats.js, Google Analytics, Image optimisation tools, Livereload (auto refresh), Cache busted assets (WIP), Zip compression, .gitignore
Configures and runs an unminified development build optimised for fast watch performance with source maps and live reload.
Creates an uglified, production ready build with no source maps.
Lossy compression of all png's in the src/images/ directory using pngquant.
(Linux users will need to have a version of pngquant available on their paths.)
Compiles the current build into {title}.zip with an internal folder. This is intended for use when transferring the build to a third party for webserver upload.
Compiles the current build into {title}.zip ready for upload to CocoonJs.
The project comes with an unminified version of Phaser with arcade physics, this can be replaced if you require updates or one of the alternate physics engines.
When adding new libraries that aren't CommonJS compatible, you'll have to update the Browserify Shim configuration.
I follow Ben Gourley's JavaScript Style Guide (with the exception of using semicolons). I've kept the code footprint low so you can easily include your own .jshintrc.
