1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?

You can call me Seren! I procrastinate a lot.

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 don't think I participated in the last jam, but I participated in last summer's. Basically, I'm going to plan and schedule much better this time!

3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?

Well, at the moment, Breath of the Wild and Overwatch are my favorites. My long-time ones though are Thousand Year Door, Majora's Mask, Windwaker...lots of Nintendo games. It's what I grew up on! I'm also a huge Borderlands fan. They've definitely made me want to make my own games, and inspired me in other areas as well. 

4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?

No, I've mostly just messed around in Ren'py and RPG Maker.

5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!

I really love media and entertainment! They don't get nearly enough credit. I'd also love to see video games incorporated into education.

6. What are your goals for this game jam?

I want to finish a game, regardless of how short or bad it is. That's all! Every game jam before this, I've quit very early on, but I'm determined to make it to the end this time.

7. Any advice to new jammers (if you're a veteran)?

I wouldn't call myself a veteran, but definitely plan out your game kind of thoroughly. Draw a diagram. That way you can schedule when you should work on what think. It'll be much easier to stay on track that way!

hi seren! your advice is definitely really important-- best  of luck with planning and managing your project this jam! i was actually thinking of writing up a quick guide on task + time management since it's definitely the top killers for our jam games.

also there's definitely a whole section of the game industry dedicated to educational games! i agree it'd be really awesome to see more games in education.

Sorry! I was on a trip, but now I'm back, and I'm glad to see your reply! Did you end up writing the post? 

i actually didn't get to writing up a post on project management yet but i did write up something similar based on a lot of advice in this thread. it addresses scope!
