1. Hey my name is Thetra, I am a teacher from Austria. (Age 33)
2. Yes I joined the last Jam, I had a blast with it and so I wanted to join again. I want to get back to my beginning - and finishing a 2D Platformer with all the stuff I learnd in my first year of GameDev - so I am dedicated to work my ass off with what I got XD
3. My Favourit Games are Grandia 2, Freelancer, Teranigma, Final Fantasy 14, Journey, Subnautica, Warframe and Conan Exiles. I like beeing creativ in games, nd at least Conan inspired me to start gamedev. ( I wanted to use the ModKit but it was to instable on my PC so I started learnin Unity instead)
4. I started with Unity last August (2021) and want to us my gathered knowlegde in this Jam. I made some Games for other GameJams too but my best piece until now would be BearSkull - (you can find it on my Itch page)
5. My passion, in GameDev at least, is in polishin Games. I hate to work with blocks and Capsules - I allways start with a good look and the work on the feel. I love makin good looking Games and put a lot of time into this aspekt.
6. Honestly, I want to make a Game, where Players tell me that they want to play more. I know I won t be able to make all of the Game in 2 Weeks but i try to get 1 or 2 Levels done with Story and some nice Bossfights ... yeah I will try to make some more Advertisement (so basicly how to market a game better to an audience) making trailers, and art for the Game etc. (no I won't take money for this Game, I mostly use free resources and i honestly think that cc0 products should not be sold in any way)
For returning jammers:
7. try to make a Game that you know. If you want to try remaking Supermario? Why not - but only take ONE aspekt of it. keep it simple, and finish a Game, then expand it.
8. I was very happy the last time, so I got no issues
9. My last and first entry: https://thetra00.itch.io/growwild I got great feedback on it and feel kinda sad to not work further on it.
10. I d love some koordinated Discord or Twitch streams, where people can show of their progress, and other jammers can learn and ask how, why, what we are doing.
