1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
I'm Jon, or JohnnyJones. I am a recent college grad with an engineering degree that I am not sure I really want to use.
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 haven't finished a game despite multiple attempts. I think I might just need a kick in the pants and some more knowledge to get me over the hump.
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
I like games where mechanics and story work together instead of being separate. Games like Hollow Knight, Rimworld, Dark Souls, FTL, etc.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
I have some limited experience making games in GameMaker and Godot. Godot is what I'm currently using because it seems to be a good bridge between GameMaker's more limited programming language vs something like Unity or Unreal, which I have found daunting.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
I llove games with good music. It can make or break an experience. I am somewhat of a musician myself, but I am not a good writer (maybe something I can work on).
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
I want to learn what it takes to actually finish a game and bring everything together.
