1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Halloo! My name is Laurie
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 did not participate! Because I'm very new to game development, I like the idea of game jams giving me a time limit to finish the project I'm working on. I'm great at coming up with ideas and getting a third to halfway through a project then wandering off. Sigh...
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
Story-based games will always be my anthem. Any platform or medium as long as it's got a story that grabs me I'm into it! I love games that tie mechanics into narrative --like Portal or Inscryption where the story wouldn't exist without the game mechanic and vice versa
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
I am VERY much a baby dev--I've played with Twine and GB Studio and that's it! (I also wrote a D&D module and a Monster of the Week one-shot, not sure if that counts) I made a Twine game to go along with the Monster game and made a GB Studio game for the Secret Santa game jam last holiday season
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
Coffee. I could drink gallons of the stuff--oh, wait. I do
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
I want to grow my overall skills as a developer; get a better sense of pacing in my dev cycle; finish the dang thing!; have people play my game and think it's cool
