1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hello! I go by my online alias 'nastymold' but you can call me nasty, or mold, or nancy if you like a very nice human-sounding name. I have always had a passion for gaming and an interest in all aspects behind it, but have always felt that my lack of education or the fact that I would be learning from scratch was too big of a roadblock to even start. This year I have decided to start regardless, and I am a bit nervous but let's do this!
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 have never participated before. I have heard of them but for some reason, I never really thought that I could easily join one haha! I'm excited to try!
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
I have so many beloved games and I tend to play a little bit of everything. I have to say my favourites are the ones with stylish design choice and a sense of freedom within that world. I have also always gravitated to games with flying aspects, I realize, which may tie into that sense of freedom within the world. Some examples of what I mean would be: Gravity Rush, Journey, Sky: Children of the Light, A Short Hike, and Animal Crossing: Wild World (no flying just good vibes.)
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
None at all but I'm going to try my best and learn!
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
In games: A sense of freedom and excitement. I love iconic and memorable characters as well.
In real life: My small community of friends I have built, food, and my cat.
6. What are your goals for this game jam
The end goal would be to complete something but I understand I'm new and that might be a crazy daunting goal so realistically I'd like to learn the how and why of everything I get stumped on, and take away with a bunch of experience!
:D Nice to meet you all, and I'm excited to learn!
