This is my first game jam ever! I just started making games a couple months ago, so I'm a bit nervous that I won't complete a game. The pixel art is primarily where I'm worried all my time will be spent. I'm going to make my game with java using the libGDX framework.
Awesome that you decided to join us! Don't worry about completing, every jam is a learning experience :)
I think my first jab at a jam entry was using libGDX as well.
