1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hello, world! My name is Olyvier and it's my first game jam.
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?
No
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
I'm fascinated by the deep lore and the exploration in games such as Portal 2, The Stanley Parable, Dwarf Fortress and Half Life. This jam I'm going to create some vocabulary sandbox (aka Scribblenauts), I won't be using those inspirations yet.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
Yes, but there are lots and lots of unfinished projects that most were deleted under the week after abandon. Including some text adventures.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
Beyond most of by huge interests list, "0x10c" is one that stayed in my heart since ~2014. Basically, it was a retro space sandbox about some retro computer developed during 2012 and suspended since 2013. Sad considering it jointed vintage computing, dying universe space and sandbox themes.
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
Start and most importantly finish a playable game out of my college spare time. I would love to use some Common Lisp but I'm not ready for anything like so yet.
