1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
I'm Sardines! I'm gonna make a gaaaaame~
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 in the last jam! In fact, I've never done this before O.o
I want to make a good game someday, and I figure I've gotta start somewhere! I've done little practice bits before, but I'm determined to get something finished here.
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
I like a bunch of games. The Last Of Us is freaking phenomenal (I'm so bad at those sorts of games though, I'm still still struggling through it). I'm most inspired by Stardew Valley... it's not so fancy, but there are so many ideas crammed into one in-game day. I'd like to make something with that effect.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
Uhh... I made an Asteroids game in Swing with Java, then a maze game with JavaFX. Don't make games with JavaFX, kids.
Other than that I've done a bit with Python and some with Game Maker Studio. Sometime soon I want to try working with Unity.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
I'm a math person! Don't @ me. Polyhedra are cool. Someday I want to harness the power of video games to convert a generation of small children into unwitting geometry nerds.
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
My goals are just to get something small but functional finished! I also want to figure out how to do music for my game.
I'm so excited to try this! I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with, too. See yall around!
