1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hey! My name is Caleb, I'm a software developer in Maryland, US, aspiring to get into game development.
2. Did you participate in the last jam we held? If so, what do you plan on doing better this time? If not, what's your reason for joining?
I've never tried a game jam before. I always thought they were a waste of time, since I always had more projects than I had time for. Recently though, I'm finding that something small and quick would be fun to work on, to improve skills and stay motivated.
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
I love sci-fi, one of my favorites is Space Engineers, which is very inspiring. As was Minecraft, back when it was a new idea.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
I've created several prototypes and unfinished games (unfinished usually for lack of art). I don't use engines, I like to develop the internal functionality myself, as that's the part I really enjoy.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
Automation, multiplayer, getting in over my head and having to think outside the box. I love technical challenges.
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
To have fun, but a big part of it is curiosity, to see if I can pull off making a game in a short period of time. It'll be a fight against not only available time, but also my perfectionism, so this will be interesting!
