1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hi! My name is Diana and I'm super excited to be here!
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've never participated in a game jam, and I'm joining because I want to start learning to use Unity and improve my skills as a software developer and designer. I have a lot of free time this summer and I'm lousy at teaching myself stuff without a deadline, so this is the perfect environment (hopefully)!
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
I recently started playing Stardew Valley, which is a major inspiration for our game jam project. Other games I've loved over the past couple of years include Metal Gear Solid V, Monster Hunter World, Persona 5, God of War, and Shin Megami Tensei IV. I've been a fan of video games since my childhood and have gathered lots of inspiration from different games throughout the years.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
I've made a few games as class assignments, including clones of Snake, Frogger and Galaga. These were all made with teaching libraries, so I'm eager to learn to use more professional tools.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
I love cats!
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
I want to produce a game that's fun and satisfying to play, with mechanics and code I can be proud of and keep improving upon.
