1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hi! I'm Michelle. I'm a software developer from WI.
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?
No, I didn't.
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
The first games I played when I was a kid were Eternal Daughter and Cave Story (probably because you could get them for free on your PC). I was impressed that they were made by just one or two ordinary people, and that definitely inspired me to try to make games. Nowadays I'm into TF2, the Binding of Isaac, and the Tales games- but I'll try pretty much any game.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
I don't have that much experience with game development. I took a college course in designing virtual worlds for education, and I made a virtual world in Unity for learning about outer space, and that's the only "real" thing I've done that's related. Sometimes I make really small RPGMaker games.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
Obviously programming and video games, but I have a lot of other interests as well! I love sewing and crafts in general, and I have a small business selling my own stuffed animals. I also really like music, and I like making simple songs with MIDI.
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
To make at least one playable level, and to submit it at the end of this game jam!
