To list why I’m screwed:
1. Its my first LD (and my first game jam)
2. I haven’t been programming for that long (out of Unity I’m useless)
3. I have no clue about graphics, sound design or animation
But anyway, I’ll be using Unity, programming in C#, using GIMP for graphics, sfxr for sound, and Netflix for procrastination.
Any tips for a beginner to graphics? Sprite art to be specific <3
I think I should have practiced sprite art before starting. Never done anything other than placeholder art, and just hoped for the best.
Well, at least I know what to practice for next year. For anyone who would like a giggle (and if you have any suggestions in how to suck less, or where to start learning), here is my main character (AKA the weird gormless… Thing):
I did it mum!
Seriously though, I’ve uploaded my game to Newgrounds and it is under judgement. Anyone got any suggestions for a more… Permanent home for it? Or, can anyone vote it up to get it through voting, so that I don’t lose my submission because of a mean gaming site? :3

Good luck everyone!
So, my Tower Defense game was crashing for a lot of people. I originally thought “New version of Unity, must be a broken web player”. I was wrong.
I had set a variable to some random sprite, so the towers were having a fit when they spawned because of a type mismatch. The problem, of course, was rushing to get it finished. And the worst part? I’ve made a load of GUI/mechanics changes between fixing the error, so I can’t re-upload it as a glitch fixer, because I would be adding content.
I’ll take this as a lesson for next time:
Rush efficiently.
Updated version of the game (not part of LD, just if you are interested in seeing the progression):
First of all, i’m in.
Secondly, Chrome removed support for Unity web player, and other stuff like it, so if you are using Unity and will be uploading it as a web file, remember to use WebGL and not the web player 
Good luck all!
