1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Howdy! My name IRL is Guilherme, on the internet I go by Keyb or Keyband. I'm brazilian and currently coursing Physics Engineering.
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?
Nope. I'm joining because it seems a good game jam to be my first! Also, there's a lot of people participating, and I believe the feedback will be big and precious. After this one I plan participating on other ones, like (one day maybe) Ludum Dare.
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
SNES' games have a place in my heart. I find as an inspiration almost any game from that era, in at least one thing: like the gameplay, graphics, the creativity. If I were to pick, would select Super Mario World, ALttP, Megaman X, and Street Fighter 2.
But what made me want to make my own game is that nowadays it's easier to develop a game, and maybe I can make something as good as it is in my mind.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
I already tried making some minor projects, completing none. Tried Game Maker and Unity, but the licensing of the first and some particular issues with the second got me away from them. Now I use the outstanding Godot Engine 3.0, in the second beta at the moment. It is a very good engine, albeit kinda hard to understand on the beginning!
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
Well, I love playing games. Sleeping is nice too. And physics are OK I guess! (laughs)
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
I'm participating with a friend of mine, called Sklaiser. We're aiming to make a very small Megaman X-like game, with its own charm. Since this will be the first project we will finish, I expect to learn lots of stuff, from coding to graphics to music.
7. Any advice to new jammers (if you're a veteran)?
