1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
I go by Cork Top on most games and sites, so I'll stick with that. I'm attempting to use this Jam to make me creatively productive again!
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 ever participated in a Jam, so a no on that one. I've been out of Art School for a while, and I've had a hard time getting myself to draw or create on my own, so hopefully jumping into a Jam will help!
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
I'm a big fan of platformers, action or otherwise. I also gravitate towards story games, playing through a lot of visual novels recently, as well as story based platformers. The inspiration from my favorites might have to wait for later, as I feel like I need more experience in the basics before implementing more complex stuff.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
Kind of? I helped with the art for an infinite runner game early in college, but it was almost only art. The closest "game" related thing was making sure the tile system worked well with itself. It was a game maker system, so It was drag and drop for almost everything. I was proud of what it turned into though!
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
My passions drift a lot, but I am into Virtual Reality right now. Other assorted interests that jump up include: 3D printing, sculpture, audio production, writing, painting (paintings and miniatures), and blacksmithing.
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
I want to complete a game. The finishing it is the important part for me, because I have a tendency to start things strong and then drift. So I want to start simple, thinking a platformer. And I hope to see a lot of games from the others participating for the first time!
A fun Jam to everyone!
