Hey everyone. I'm really excited, this is my first game jam! I'm especially looking forward to meeting new peeps and sharing the highs and lows of an intense session of game dev.
I was reading that the average game jammer is a 30 something indie game dev and computer science graduate, so I fit that mold. I was a JET in Gunma prefecture for five awesome years. Hopefully the was doesn't insta-disqualify me. I spent a lot of my free time on JET learning Japanese and game design, which has gone a long way to helping me get many of the freelancing jobs I've had since leaving JET just over a year ago. Very little of that work has been in programming games, so I'm looking forward to coding and putting something playable out there.
I'm on Twitter.
