Well maybe not pro tips because this is just my second LD. Last time was such a great learning experience so I decided to participate again. I’ll be happy if I get better rankings this time (last time overall was 2.88).  – Stuff to remember (what I learned from LD23)

• Color palettes
• Don’t forget music
• Minimalistic graphics save you time
• Clever use of the theme gives you points
• Don’t make the game too hard. It’s much harder for other people than it’s for you.
• Learn to program better AI. Use steering behaviours and raycasts.
• Shaders look cool
• Testing is important. Make your friends test the game while you program.
• Make a walkthrough for players if the game is hard

 Setup

• Engine: Unity (C#)
• Graphics: Wings 3D, Paint.NET and GIMP
• Sound effects: http://www.bfxr.net/
• Music: Musagi or with a python script
