This post is a smaller one, but I figured it's been awhile. It's also getting close to the deadline and I'm starting to panic. Maybe alternating between projects wasn't the best strategy. But progress is continuing. Once I have enemies programmed it'll be tying it all up into a game experience. I'm probably only going to be able to meet the minimum requirements for this challenge by the end date. Here's hoping.
Anyways, here's a quick video of tower placement along with the Tetra-Tosser.
Cheers

I'm sure you can make it happen! Just think about how you can make short cuts to finish.
Yup definitely with the shortcuts, on the artwork especially I would use placeholders, just if you can get some boxes moving for enemies that should be fine.
I'm on the same boat T __ T and my boss assigned me on field work this month... : ( : ( Good luck!
Here's an even better video of the work I accomplished today. Looking much better.
Added:
- starting area color: blue
- ending area color: purple
- created walls around created towers
- prevented towers and walls from being built in starting and ending areas of enemies
- prevented towers from being built one on top of eachothers
- added a dummy enemy
- dummy enemy moves from a random starting location to the nearest goal location
- separated the tower base and turret models, now the turrets pivot to look at the enemy it wants to attack
- lazy fixed my first bug, didn't resolve it, just found a convenient way out.
Here's a quick video

Thanks lawnjelly. before last night I was thinking 'ah-oh'. But now I'm a bit relieved.
What doesn't show up well in the video are the fire spurts each time a barrel fires. There is a quick two frame 3D animation. But in this video it seems those frames are eliminated. Too bad.
Just do the best you can.
