Before we all start making any games, I think we'll need to learn about who's participating and what they're interested in doing.
I'm Xene, a 4th year University student studying "New Media" and Management. I have taken a couple of game dev classes at my school, but the experience wasn't great and I think missed a lot of important instruction, especially on the coding side. I joined this game jam because I just happened to be starting studies into things like State Machines on my own, and figured I might learn best in a game jam led by someone who knows what that stuff is about.
My primary skills are mostly around art, but I don't intend to do much or any of that for this game jam unless needed, as I want to properly learn the coding side of things, especially things that might help me later in making 2D pixel games in Love.
