1. Hi there! What's your name?
Want to introduce yourself?
JACPearlbirth. I rather keep my real name private.2. Did you participate in the last jam we held? If so, what do you plan on doing better this time?
Yes, I believe the last one was Winter Jam 2022? And I just want to do better overall.
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
There's too many to list, but no doubt I've taken a lot of insperation from them, that I can't deny.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
Okay, "Experience" might be giving my self too much credit. But anyway, I started with Game Maker Studio before switching to Godot Engine
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about! 6. What are your goals for this game jam?
I just need the experience, i'm not really passionate.
7. Any advice to new participants?
Be courteous to your fellow teammate,
Let them know if you got issues and discuss them,
Make sure to write yourself a schedule for each day you're in the jam, but also set it up so you have time for breaks. You don't want to burnout.
And above all else, If it gets to be too much or if it starts getting toxic in your team, don't be afraid to LEAVE. Sure, you might disappoint someone but leaving is more mentally healthier than just sticking around with the bs, in my opinion.
8. What can the admins do to improve your jam experience?
All in all, I think you guys could keep a better eye on people who may be bad apple, just my two cents.
9. What are some of the past works you've made for the jam? Show off your favorites!
On the first Summer Jam I did, which was last year we managed to complete this:

10. Got any question suggestions? Let us know for next year!
I suggest a question highlighting any mental or physical issues a Jammer may have, I think it's good to know that info ahead of time.
