Hi, I'm James M - From New Zealand (The middle of nowhere!)
I first learned how to make games in 2010 by learning The Games Factory 2 in a holiday course called Bubbledome, and since then have been self-teaching it as I go. After 6 years I have still not officially released a game, but am looking forward to improving my current submission into something worth buying! This is also my first game jam ever, after many attempts to do a Ludum Dare but backing out each time due to its strict 48hr rule conflicting with commitments; thankfully this game jam was more forgiving with the time allowed. As a hobby I teach and host my own game development club at my High School, showing students the ropes to making games through Clickteam Fusion, and encouraged them all to participate in this Game Jam! I am currently looking if any of them did any submissions and have found one so far. If any of our submissions win the [xbox] prize we are planning on dedicating it and its export module to the game dev club itself for everyone to use. I have played some amazing submissions by the rest of you and am wanting to get through all of em!
